Once you're driving a 2010 Prius with >300,000 miles on it already, you're taking an awful risk basing your livelihood on that car continuing to function every day. If you're dependent on ride share work for income, surely you get rid of the high miler at some point?
- AnthonyMouse 3y agoCars are a fungible commodity. If something not worth fixing happens to it, you can buy another one then. If it still runs or can be repaired for much less than it costs to buy another car, why do it now? Finding another car takes work and involves risk, both of which you'd rather do less often than more often. Cars used in car service commonly exceed 300,000 miles. There are tales of some that do millions. For commercial trucks that isn't even uncommon. And 500,000 miles was chosen as an extreme case to demonstrate that you're not going to incur a lot of "depreciation" no matter how many miles you put on something.
