SWMBO drives a 2000 Sable with the 24 valve 6 cylinder engine, that now has 125K miles and was pondering whether to keep it going till the bitter end or buy another one.
Had the thing since 6K miles, and it's actually been a great car...no problems whatsoever, and with plenty of power it's pleasant to drive. But she drives 600 plus mile interstate trips every month or so, and I kinda worry about an unexpected break down. Runs perfect now, but it does leak oil to the point I really should do something about that.
Since the body style is getting a bit long in the tooth, the current ones depreciate like crazy the first year, and one can buy a 2006 24 valve Sable with 8K miles, leather, warranty, etc for only $13K, so it's tempting to just buy another one and feel "confident" for another 6 years.
So, what say ye..."go the distance" with the current one, or buy another "new" one ?
