That reminds me. I have to call Vanderbilt this week to let them know I've been sick. Scheduled for a procedure at the end of May. Guess I better check in with them.

I’ll buy the junk food, you take care of the navigation and I still promise not to mess with the radio stations.

That if is the big question! Got a friend who's accord just hit 400 k, and one with a Camry right at that mark. They've both been taken care of though.

My 2002 Durango, that we bought new, had 247 on it when we sold it. Only issue that we had was the radiator developed a pinhole leak at the 200k mark.

I had a BMW that made it 200k I even got 2000 for it in a trade in for a new car - You are right about Toyota my dads made it to 200k and my brothers truck the same -- I guess Carfax can tell if its been maintained these days

One of my teenaged pals had his grandfather’s 1956 Chrysler with a hemi. Could run over parking meters without denting the bumper.

A high school classmate dropped a Buick 400 mid-engine into a Corvair. That was a barely street legal funny car.

Agree 100% and if I'd been driving it those 160,000 I'd feel confident in seeing 250 +. I bet my truck sees 300,000 without any major issues.

Anyway, I hope it's been taken care of like we would have taken care of it.

And Im glad I'm not the one trying to decide on my little girls first car. Good luck Joe, I honestly feel for you.

98 KIA Sephia was my first car. Bought it 8800 bucks brand new. I drove it ten years and sold it for $1000 when I was 26. That car exceeded my expectations.

I bought the same car, 98 Kia Sephia. Drove the wheels off that thing. Let my son drive it when he turned 16, loaned it to my step daughter for a while, and I don't remember how many miles it had when I sold it - but well over 150k. Only thing I ever had to do was put tires on it, and replaced the catalytic converter when it was 4 years old. Unbelievably dependable little car.
