How many miles can I drive my 1996 Cheverolt Lumini until I need to consider buying a new car?

Question

I was given a 1996 Cheverolt Lumini with 35000 miles on it. The car has been maintained and will continue to be. Thus far, I have had to replace the car battery, fix a flat tire, replace the fan belt, fix an oil leak and a coolant leak. The car seems to operate flawlessly and it now has approximately 64000 miles on it.

Answer 1

I'm not familiar with this car but i would say 100,000 miles isnt beyond its reach, with correct and regular servicing

Answer 2

The number of miles has nothing to do with how long you can hold onto the car.  As long as you give it proper servicing and the car gives you no major problems you can drive the car for years.  I read somewhere of a man who bought a car which he is still driving and he claims it has a million miles on it.
