Never left you stranded in 25K? Not that big an achievement. My first Lancer never gave me a single issue when I traded it with over 255K. The guy that bought it probably put another 100K on it before it got totaled by a drunk (it was parked on the side of the street).

Pretty decent achievement for a net profit of $500 over five years of ownership not including gas and insurance.
Bought: $1k
Maintenance: $1.5k (mostly driveshaft, clutch, windshield and tires)
Insurance payout for fender bender:$1k (fixed myself)
Final sale price $2k
How much did you sell that lancer for? I'd wager it is very close to proving the point that good cars can be had for $5k or less.
