Just outta curiousity, what was this 17 year old car you had, and how many miles did it have? Sounds like it held up pretty well- lots of cars get junked after 17 years, not sold to new owners.

so your saying my truck is gonna get junked in a couple years (13 years old) and my motorcycle is also gonna get junked in a couple years (15 years old) and that my van has 7 years to go (10 years old)? Course the only vehicle I have had since it was brand spankin new (bought it with 9 miles on it) was the van :D.

I didn't say anything of the sort!!! But a 17 year old car is a 1994, and you gotta admit, a lot of '94s have gone to the junkyard by now. I'm driving around in a '00 Passat, and it isn't getting replaced anytime soon (hopefully). 171K miles and counting.

Most I ever had on a car was 226K miles on a '83 Rabbit. My wife made me get rid of that one, she said it was Ugly. :dunno:

ok just making sure.... I know I will get more for my van when I go to sell it just because of the fact it has only had 1 owner (me).

It is a 1994 Ford Tempo with about 175,000km. (approx 108,700miles). Yes, I took care of it and fixed things as needed. It had regular oil changes and fluids kept topped up.
It has no rust....anywhere....and passes Air Care like a new car. :)

I have so many things on my to-do list that I honestly forgot about that for the forums. Let me see what I can find out today about it. :D

Sorry about that.
