The resale or salability of our cars as they get less expensive is also a consideration when repairing all the issues, you couldn't give away another brand car with 200,000 miles on it so yes, you end up putting more $ into a car you like but, you also can sell it much easier. Therefore we fix 'em. (didn't mean to drive off course here)
Gotta go now load up the X5 for vaca to Outer Banks.
