Will your current car make it?

[gwalton1234]

Nope. Mine died 8-9 months ago. I’ve been bumming rides to work since being a one car family. My truck shipped on 10-10. ETA is 10-25 thru 10-31.

My 2008 fusion is limping by with 206,000 miles. The idler pulley bolt snaps every 6-8 weeks, but it’s a $20 fix so I guess if that’s all that it needs, it will make it.

Im sorry but a entry level Chevy with 200k is only worth $1500. That many miles in 5 years means that you ran the heck out of it. Nothing in its drivetrain was designed for more than 250,000 miles before needing serious work. That means if you sell it to someone who uses it as much as you, they will need another car or a cheap mechanic in the middle of winter next year. That doesnt say anything over $2000 to me, unless its got some special mods or options.

Turns out the Chevy dealer I bought my Bolt from is giving me $2500 for the Cruze, so that'll have to do.

My current vehicle is a 2000 Mountaineer 302 engine, 4r70w trans, awd, 6,600 lbs towing capacity, 240k miles. It likely will outlast the Maverick in my opinion, and I am keeping it. I actually have two of these and if I actually do receive a Maverick, I have been told I will have to get rid of one. The Maverick offers a lot of the versatility these old v8 Mountaineers/Explorers have so it will be my 21st century update.

I’m currently driving a 2000 4Runner with 250k. Had to get a new brake booster the other day and the rms is starting to go. Really hoping it makes it without dumping too much money into it. I could drive my wife’s car if needed but it’s a little too fancy for me.

My 2002 4runner has 290,000 mile on it. I have put some $$$ in it the last 3 years and it's running good. I never wanted a Ford until I saw the Maverick. I ordered a MY23. I only wish I new if Ford will build my ordered Hybrid Lariat. Not a good time to buy a car.

My daily driver is a 2015 Wrangler which now has 180,000 miles on it. I have a 100 mile round trip for work so I rack up the miles. Jeep runs great and has been my most dependable vehicle to date. I’m giving it to my daughter when she starts to drive. I’ll have to teach her to drive a manual. A hybrid Maverick for me makes sense for how much I drive.

My 2007 Chrysler Town and Country just went over 297,000 miles. I was really worried it wasn't going to make it last week as the oil pressure light came on. Got it checked out, thankfully it appears it was the sensor going bad.

I joked that I wasn't sure if I'd hit 300,000 before my MY22 order came in....now that I've rolled over to a MY23, I'm guessing I'll hit that mark before my new vehicle comes in... (Sigh)

Yeah our Grand Cherokee is a rust bucket and has bedliner holding it together, but 5.2 V8, non electronic 42re transmission, 6500 tow capacity and a flat rear cargo area. I will keep it around mostly as a loaner for visitors or for the potential to swap the entire drivetrain into my Eagle to double the horsepower and double the gearing in the tcase. Its also got decent axles. Switch the 5.2 to carb and the required parts will make it around 300hp 350tq. That 302 in yours is as good as they ever got. The rear is highly sought after too. You could build a kit car, hot rod, Fox Body, Jeep YJ, XJ, or Eagle pretty well with those 2 parts.
