Well maybe public transit wouldn't suck so much if we converted 40% of the US population to relying on public transit. (It's currently ~11% from what I could find)

And by the way, Canada is on the same page as the ol' US of A:

Used cars would be a lot more affordable though...

I think that by setting such a low dollar amount that you have taken the "most car develop EXPENSIVE habits" to a different level.

You're right, I took it from the level of the top 10% of the 1st world population (of which you and @
Dadhawk are) to being relevant to the majority of the first world population. Such as someone daily driving a 23 year old Toyota who does not want to worry about any issues whatsoever.

My chief dispute of your comment was the "MOST cars need expensive repairs at 150,000 miles" that is simply not a statement that can be substituted in any way. They may need it at 60K or they may need it at 600K.

You're right, I took shortcuts in phrasing that sentiment so I'll be more accurate.
"I believe that most cars will incur expenses exceeding $500 between 150k-200k miles."
