I'm in the same boat but it's wishful thinking. I don't have $5000 for a used car only 2 years younger than the 1998 LeSabre. Prices on used cars with low mileage are outrageous and those will high mileage are scary. We bought the LeSabre back in 2009 with 77K miles on it. We now have 125K on it and we have to unhook the battery if we aroing going anywhere. Another car with an electrical system problem. No PW anymore. No radio, AC, clock, you name it. Have heat. I love that car. So comfortable and fun to drive when I could drive. Heading for the graveyard now.
Who is heading for the graveyard, you or the car? I bought an old 1993 Jeep Grand Wagoneer a couple years ago that had over 200,000 miles on it, but it still gets me where I want to go (which is nowhere now days).
The car is heading to the graveyard. I have no intention of moving anywhere for the next 30 years or so.
All our cars start with below 100K miles and we keep them until they give us a problem every week. This Buick has been good to us until a couple months ago, whereas our '93 Olds, can't remember it's model, but it was the biggest one they made, gave us electrical problems when it reached the over-100K mark.
