My story is not so much high mileage as low cost to drive.
In 2007 we bought a 97 Lexus for $4,000, friend was trading it in
and was offered $4,000, we said we would buy it for that price.
We drove it many years then my son went to college and he took it
and drove several more.
In 2018 it had 217,000 mile on it, we decided to sell it.
We got $2,900 in the sale.
$1,100 difference in 11 years is $100 a year!
And, it was a nice car!
