How much of the maintenance is after 200k? Seems you could have driven for 200k and bought a new one for another 200k and come out ahead.

Interesting point. What does your data say
Efthreeoh ?
Even if you spent just $10k on maintenance in the first 200k would you be willing to make that trade-off for another new car? Maybe with the sale of the first car, it would be about equal and you would get to experience 2 new cars?
I feel like I must be missing something, bc this seems too good to be true. Do insurance and registration get cheaper as cars age in the state you live in? That would play a large role.
