When buying a truck/suv used if it already has 100,000 miles on it, how long on average will it last?

Driving Test?

In addition to the first poster's answer, it also depends on its current condition and how well it was maintained by its current and previous owners. If they treated it like crap, then it won't last nearly as long as a decently maintained vehicle.

Do you think people who FLY-TIP have all the charisma of a urine soaked tramp thats covered in his own sick...


When I was a teenager in the early 90s my parents bought a used 1982 Crown Victoria with probably around 80k miles on it. It lasted until it had more than 300,000 miles on it and then my mother gave it away. I have no idea how long it ultimately lasted. It was a Southern California car (i.e. no rust), so it was in really great condition. They were driving across the country once and broke down (I didn't say it was perfect!) in Chicago. The guy there refused to put it up on the lift, claiming the "bottom would fall out". They pointed out that it had no rust, he was amazed. Incidentally, it lived miles 200-300k+ of its life in New England winters.

How could motorists be more environmentally friendly?


My husband had a 1979 Blazer that had horrible rusty cancer--when riding in it you could see out the side of the doors--he accidentally dumped a 32oz soda while driving once and when he got where he was going it had all flowed out the holes. It was on its second engine when he got it and while driving to work once it blew two pistons. We decided to buy a new truck at that point, we probably should have replaced the engine again! We bought a brand new 1996 Chevy S-10 that sucked--it started having problems the second we left the lot. We traded it 3 years later for an F-150 on lease that was great, I was sorry to have to turn it back in, but buying it off lease wasn't worth it. Our current truck is also an F-150 (2002) and we are very happy with it.
