Car Mileage Versus Ownership Time When It Comes To Maintenance Expenses
Car mileage is the main determinant of how often you'll have to spend fixing issues, even more so than the length of time you own the car. Here's a discussion on my blindspot on why I find Range Rovers to be more reliablity than perception.
