BTW, I've never understood the obsession with miles over years. Obviously, there is some sort of calculation that can be done and what matters most of type of miles/extent of care.
For example, almost all of my miles are exactly what you would want from a longevity standpoint. 25 mile each way commute, almost entirely highway. Long enough to heat up sufficiently, not too long. Consistent RPM's in the 3,000 range - very little shifting.

A 1 year old car with 0 miles will have significantly less wear than a 1 year old car with 80k miles. Demographic is also important. A car with 130k miles on it that has oil changes and timing belt done when recommended has nothing to do with the rust underneath if it's driven in the salt belt. I won't even buy a used car within 500 miles of my location because of this. Cars with 1 winter on them here have corrosion damage in unimaginable ways.
Anyways, to OP - good call to sell while the market is hot! Even if you love the car, you can get something newer or more suited to your needs now. Glad you had a great journey
