I've heard good things about these from people, the least of which is their affordability. I would do more research though.

My favorite car is the one I've driven for 30 years. Okay, it won't be 30 years until March 26, but close enough. I have a 1967 Mustang, turquoise blue, with 124K miles on it. I haven't had her out of the garage in a week because of the snow & ice (she's horrible in snow) but she's the car I drive everywhere--not a show car. I had the engine rebuilt at 80K miles, and have had a lot of body work over the years, but she still has a lot of original parts, including the interior. (yeah, I could use new seats, but I just buy new covers every so often) I suppose someday I'll have to replace her---there are times I can barely get in & out of her 'cause of back problems---but she's like a member of the family, and I love her to death (even tho' the radio is persnickity and there's no a.c.).

That's awesome that you've been able to keep a car that long and the low milage! Wow!
