Dunno, I think you save a lot more if you simply never ever buy a new car.
No reason to nurse it to 225k just to save money... if that's the only
reason, there are still better ways. Buy a crappy early 90s throttle body
injected 4 cylinder sunbird... like three times, pay $400 each get 70k out
of each, average another $500 in maintenance on each. They'll be sh*tboxes,
but they;ll go. It's a joke among my friends that "the run badly longer than
most cars run". It works, my buddy drew knows from experience.
