But I'm still stuck on getting rid of an 8-year old Honda with only a 100k miles on it. Unless you're already experiencing a lot of problems, my guess is that car has a lot of life in it. Or maybe I'm just envious that you're potentially getting a new car. I have a 12-year old car that's approaching 100k, and I'm hoping to keep it a while longer since it otherwise runs (mostly) well and my job situation become a bit iffy next year. I'm so ready for a new car though......
My Honda cratered before it should have (still had 5 digits on the odometer). Hubby's Accord lasted a little bit longer. But then, it was starting to crater during the Cancer Year and I was so not dealing with car drama at that point, so I took it over to Carmax and found something else. It wasn't new, but it's had a whole lot less drama than that car did.
