Man. I just put a over the rearview mirror dashcam with rear camera (plus backup lines wired into the reverse lights) in my kid's '05 X3. Put an OEM 1/4 inch aux jack in it a couple years ago plus a Bluetooth dongle and there's not a whole lot at age 20 it can't do that most new cars can.

Now. I have replaced both front and rear drive shafts, full brakes twice, the entire intake side, most of the cooling system, starter (not super fun!), coils and plugs twice, new fluid in the transfer cases etc, and got lucky with that red shit you put in ac to seal it. Ok fine the panoramic sunroof is closed and will remain that way, and its always been in a light mileage demand role for our family, but I guess its got 160k on it ot now and even if I pay myself $100 an hour plus parts, I bet I only have 20 or 22 $1000 payments in the thing. It's only ever been to a shop for tires.

Sounds like something I would do. I just did both axles and transfer case fluid in my 07 Tundra, since it tows my bass boat and snowmobiles (plows snow too). It gets oil undercoated every year, and it does not look like an 07. The fact that it has zero electronics is a huge deal for me. No carpet or electric windows either.

When it's 55K for a new one, I'll just keep replacing parts-unless it's rusty, then all bets are off. I will probably fly our west and drive a late 90s 4runner home when I'm due for another car.

daughters 2014 Cadillac ATS started having transmission issues (91k miles) and she has started to drive more this past year (her BF goes to school about 3 hours away from her and she goes to school about 1.5-2hrs from us) - so yesterday i was shopping online and found one of the local dealers closest to my house had a 2019 Buick Encore - only 18k miles, loaded pretty decent little car, ended up buying it yesterday. Wife has a 21 Encore that she loves so we figured this will suit her well through school.

You’re a good Dad.

Went car shopping yesterday with my oldest. Single mom of three kids and wants out of her minivan. Plenty of good choices out there.
