If you're going to have to spend a small fortune on a vehicle, it only makes sense that you should know what life you may be able to resonable expect from it. I've never gotten this research from auto sales people before. Maybe they don't want you know because you may or may not get the same results from your vehicle but when you see how this data is developed, it sure provides hope.
iSeeCars.com analyzed over 2 million used cars sold between January and October of 2022. The mileage over which the top one percent of cars within each model obtained was calculated and used to rank models. Only models with at least 10 model years of production between 2002 and 2021 (20 model years) and in production as of the 2020 model year were included for further analysis. Heavy duty vehicles were also excluded from further analysis.
