Car Mileage Versus Ownership Time When It Comes To Maintenance Expenses

Car Mileage Versus Ownership Time When It Comes To Maintenance Expenses

Author: Sam Dogen: Financial Samurai founder, personal finance blogger June 3, 2023 Duration: 13:35

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. I've owned a Land Rover for 20 years now and wouldn't own one if they were chronically unreliable. 

We also discuss how my desire for cars have changed as I've aged.
