That’s pretty good. I wonder how the numbers would have looked if you would have bought two used cars and kept them for 5 years each?

For example, I bought a brand new Ford Mustang in 2000. I kept is for 11.5 years – there were two unplanned maintenance events that added up to a total of $1600, not bad at all.

Then I traded it in for another new car.
