Just to add another "story" My brother worked for GM in 1981 and drove ,on the freeway, 1 hr to and 1 hr back from work every day. Wouldn't carpool. Wasn't long it had 100,000 on it and he was going to trade it in. I convinced him to sell it to me as he did. It still had the original tires (35% tread) original brakes seats/carpet like new, never a trans or engine repair and no dents or rust and never been to a body shop. There's not many vehicles driven 100.000 in or around the city that havn't been wrecked at one time or another. It isn't just about wear and tear on mechanicals it's about collision damage and interior/seat wear. At 50,000 of city driving the seat will be junk,pedals worn off to steel, rust everywhere from all the salt in the cities streets and bondo from all the fender benders and mismatched paint from cheap wanna-bee body shops. My late uncle lived/worked in Lansing , MI and his cars were junk at 50,000 miles.
