Message: [QUOTE="Northbound, post: 3791230, member: 155"] My Land Cruiser with 40k in the clock cost me $28k when i bought it. Much of parts price on. Subaru or Toyota is more driven by OEM vs aftermarket parts than the brand. Its one of the reasons why my friends salvage yard is incredibly busy - OEM parts for cheap. Different conversation when you go to BMW, MB, Rover, etc I’ll get 250-300k out of the Land Cruiser. I will spend to keep a car that has the functionality I need and I like it. I am 100% not a new car every 5 years guy in fact i avoid any new car purchase at all costs. I think the last new car i bought was a rover and it was great for 125k - only one problem a drivers side window regulator. i’ve got 5 daily drivers and 4 in various stages of restoration. One thing i guarantee you - It costs money to drive a car - cars have limited life parts - tires, brakes, filters, pumps - it’s unavoidable that those will need to be replaced. [/QUOTE]
