Many of us have read studies regarding the best new cars, or the most reliable new cars, or the cheapest new cars, and one thing they have in common is they all relate to new cars. Some consumers either don’t want a new car, or can’t afford one so these studies don’t mean much or won’t for at least a few years.
A lot of new car manufacturers consider 100,000 miles as the lifespan of a car, especially for warranty and CPO, or certified pre-owned purposes which is why maintenance schedules are geared more towards making a car last that long rather than longer. Take oil change intervals, for instance. Sure, you can change your oil every 15,000 miles, but I would do it more frequently if you want it to last beyond that magic 100,000 mile barrier.
