My 80s diesel Benz is barely broken in at 249k miles. It all depends on the car.
Ironically, more modern cars will probably not last as long! I can rebuild just about anything on this car, electronics included (most complicated part is perhaps a common opamp). On modern cars, as soon as the advanced ICs (say an ECU) are NLA you’re SOL.
- true_religion 9y agoNah, older cars which weren't made well, or maintained well are all sitting in a landfill right now. It's only the few that were both made better, with no production flaws, and great maintenance that have lasted long enough for us to see then with 150k miles before being purchased today.
