I had a car that 450,000 original miles on the motor. I know because all but
4,000 I put on myself. If you change the oil regularly like every 2,000
miles a car will last a long time. I had that car for 20 years and the only
reason I sold it was I was tired of driving the same car.

 PD> Hubby asked me to ask you people for some advice.  He is the proud
 PD> owner of a 1991 Mercury Capri.  It's pushing 100,000 miles, at least
 PD> 40,000 are highway miles.  (He communites 100+ miles round trip daily.)
 PD> He takes care of the car, changes the oil regularly, does all the
 PD> things he's supposed to do.  Now for the question:  Under normal
 PD> conditions, how long (how many miles) should this car last?  He's
 PD> trying to decide whether to sell it this summer or will it last another
 PD> year.  (He believes in driving a car until 3 minutes before it totally
 PD> dies for the last time!) 
 PD> Thanks for any advice/encouragement you can give him!
