it good. Mileage can mean everything, and it can mean nothing. Maintenance
is more important, that's why our Vanagons keep on ticking, heading for a
quarter million miles.>

Well said, my friend!
I consider my 258,000 miles to be the first HALF of my vehicle's life.  This
distance is far enough to take me to the moon -- now I have to get back ;-)

A good deal is in the eye of the beholder.  That's why a small house in LA
costs more than a mansion in Peoria. (nothing against Peoria)

Just my humble $.03 worth (cost of living in Phoenix)
