I'm for the mileage factor. I experienced items going "wrong" with my car well before the dealer started to see trends because of my mileage. With the exception of certain items that will dry rot, age is not as big as mileage on the vehicle, IMHO. I still have a 325CiC with 39K from 2002. Little maintenance costs throughout the 8 years, still drives and looks great.

:wow: I did that in my first 3 months as opposed to 3 years....You gotta go out and use that X. Don't get me wrong, I love to gaze at it, but driving the X is most satisfying...

There's only so far I can go for a lunch. Weekends is when I use it most, and there are only so many hours then. ;) I do love it everytime I get in though believe me. My '95 truck has 115k, most of which was done between '95-'00 when I was away at school. No such excuses anymore.
