eli5: Why do cars have limited miles?

794 views

If you have a car and you continue to fix it every time a problem occurs, why can’t you keep the car and drive it forever as-long as you have to money to fix it if something goes wrong?

You absolutely can. My car has 418,000 miles on it, and my truck has 310,000. Many people have higher mileage than me, too.

It’s just that most people want something newer, they get tired of their car, the car’s value is less than what it will take to fix the car, or they decide payments are easier than an up-front repair bill.

Sometimes the parts can be difficult or impossible to find, depending on the car.
