But his focus needs tons of work and it's not even 100k miles. American cars, sorry if I say that heavy disdain but they suck. We have a 99 corolla and 00 focus. I bet I could make my corolla last 20 years. It's great no problems and almost 9 years old. Hmm…Maybe I should try to bury my corolla and DH’s ford focus.

No doubt you got every penny worth out of them.<br/><br/>For most people, I would still say used car makes better financial sense, because they (including myself) tend to change their cars after 3-5 years.
