Right. My Miata was bought with 80k. I'm up to 83k and at 2-3k per year it may never get to 100k before I sell it or turn it into a race car - which is no problem at all for that car.

My LR4, which I really do hope to have forever, just crossed 30k after 4.5 years. It will see about 5k/year from now on, so mileage-wise there is a good chance to keep it for many, many years. It appears to be a good car past 100k too.
