What is the average lifespan of a car? If the service is not delivered during the useful life of the vehicle I would assume it already qualifies as misrepresentation. 2016 is 8 years ago, I am sure plenty of those vehicles have put over 150k miles on them and have deprecated into nothing.
- Loughla 2y agoIt's 150k acceptable today? I was upset when my transmission went out at 200k. Maybe I'm wrong but I think the expected life of a car is quite a bit longer than that?
- londons_explore 2y agoSome states/countries publish stats on car registrations/unregistrations and also record mileage each year at annual tests. I'm pretty sure somewhere on the internet you'll find enough official data to figure out median car mileage.
- Loughla 2y agoWell after looking, there aren't any good reliable sources for an easy number. But comparing what state data I could find, it seems like 12 years and 200k mileage is the median. So I maintain my original statement. 8 years and 150k miles for a car that is sold as a simpler (mechanically) and more reliable because of that mechanical simplicity is kind of crappy.
- xp84 2y agoI feel like with the warranty usually lasting 50k or so, it’s reasonable to say many people wouldn’t keep a car, or have ever planned to, past 150k, even if the car is perfectly drivable 8 years on with that mileage. My car is that old, and I expect to keep it at least 8 more. But many would have traded in by 8 years especially if they drive so much more than me.
