What old cars are you frugal people nursing through life? šŸš— Auto

I remember the older generations would buy a car and drive it for two or three decades. Today it is pretty popular to replace a vehicle regularly. What are some old vehicles you all are still driving. Iā€™m stuck in the early 2000s, because they are new enough to have some features, yet, mostly simple to service.

I just rebuilt the whole rear suspension and center differential on my 2005 outback xt! The body has 215k miles on it and the engine and trans have 300k!

Only 175K on mine. I had a clutch put in last year.
