the vast majority of the motoring public will always lose money on vehicles. So I wouldn't worry about the retail value of the vehicle vs routine maintenance expenses. And I'd consider these routine maintenance expenses @ 165K miles.
There are also typically expenses with car swapping, (sales tax, title fees, registration, etc.) that only benefit the government, so something else to keep in mind.
Thanks for the feedback!
I agree whole heartedly...we did buy a 2014 Minivan due to some unfortunate circumstances ... But I intend to keep it for at least a decade.
Thanks!
