2004 sebring. Traded in in 2018 after 235k miles - I'd had reasonable maintenance on it, but last couple years was getting to be a bit more each year. Last 6 month my mechanic said "it needs engine work, but I can't tell you how much it will be until I take apart the engine, and... that's probably going to cost more than a couple thousand all told.". 235k miles wasn't too bad. I got a 2016 car for around $12k with ... 7k miles on it, getting around 40mpg now, and it's doing fine. I don't want to keep it another 12-13 years, but suspect I could, given how it's holding up so far and how much I drive.
