Cars are very efficient when it comes to keeping the poor - poor.
- WarOnPrivacy 3y agoIt depends on what you buy. My 1996 Toyota is at 125k and I drive it super hard. I've charged the AC once and replaced the fuel pump twice. My son daily drives a 1963 Dart. My friend drives a 2018 Kia. My friend spent $700 on a replacement door control panel. My son spent $30 on a replacement head (swapped in 3 hours).
- SketchySeaBeast 3y agoYour 1996 has remarkably low miles on it. Apparently the average miles a year is ~13,500[1], so you should be ~364,5000.

I'm surprised that the dart has never been redone in that time.
- WarOnPrivacy 3y agoI bought the Toyota with 40k about 7 years ago. It had been parked in a garage for 10 years. A client of mine was an attorney and no one in the estate wanted the car. My son bought the Dart off FB marketplace, pulled it out of the weeds and put it back on the road. He drove it for a year before finally welding in floorpans (prep for 3k mi trip). 1960-1963 made a lot of cars that aren't popular now. No big rush to restore those.
