I would have to probably drive the 25k car three times as long to justify the cost.
I know there is a lot more involved in ‘cost’ of owning a car etc…just using a general scenario.
That’s my $.02.

I have 3 cars (all paid for of course)
2002 Explorer with 32k or so miles
2005 Suzuki Forenza with 18k or miles
I have a 60 mile round trip to work a day
I drive a 1994 Mazda truck with 182k miles on it bought it when it had 140k on it and the only thing I have done to it besides changed the oil; is brakes and rotors... I paid 1000 dollars for the truck.
My wife drives the Zuki and I put the miles on the truck and drive the Explorer on the weekends
