My plan is to buy a new car because I am afraid if I buy a used car at 3-5 years old, that places the "age of expiration" on both cars at nearly the same time.
Do both cars get equal usage? Can you adjust your driving to work around that? For example, since we have two cars, We will sometimes take mine on a long trip and other times take my wife's so that I regulate how many miles are getting put on each one. Both of our cars are getting up there, so I try and pay a little more attention to that. Of course, I don't have a crystal ball to tell me when each will die so it is a guess at best.
