RE: Is your car your daily driver?
The reason I ask is because I have been debating buying myself a beater/dd to keep the miles off the stang. The stang currently have 28k miles on her and I put about 5k a year on her. The only thing is that I'm 21 and about ready to graduate college so I dont really have lots of extra cash for the beater lol. So do you think I should take a grand and buy a beater or use the 1000 for gears, midpipe and tuner?

RE: Is your car your daily driver?
What about the miles are you concerned about? Resale value or just maintnence stemming from the extra miles?
Resale value isn't going to be what you'd like to see regardless of the mileage you put on the car. If that's your concern, I would just drive it, enjoy it and be ready to grab your ankles when it comes time to unload the car unless it's paid off.

I owe 3 more years on it and I got it for 18k used with 11k miles on it 2 years ago. I owe around 11k for it so I have some equity as it is, but resale isnt the issue. Just the overall appearance/condition of the car is. Like small chips on the hood/fenders really irk me. Recently I switched over to zaino and I will never use anything else. So the car is well maintained, gets it oil changed ever 2500 miles and gets detailed weekly. Mainly I just want to keep it looking/running good for as long as possible. I dont really forsee selling it in the future as it wont really be worth it then I would just keep it and buy another new car.
