Don't be a tool, repair it.

Ok, so we wanted more data, right?Work trucks dominate the top of the list. "Manufacturers build trucks with these demands in mind and stake their reputations on how long their trucks will last. Longevity is even a major focus of their marketing campaigns," says iSeeCars.com CEO Phong Ly. "Also, owners who are dependent on their vehicle to get from one job site to the next are going to pay closer attention to their vehicles' regular maintenance or repairs because their livelihood depends on keeping their trucks in good operating condition." Notice anything missing from that list? Luxury cars and non-trucks. Only one car cracked the top ten, the Toyota Avalon. "While the Avalon doesn't carry the best-selling title of the Accord, it does have Toyota's long-standing reputation for reliability," says Ly.
More data: longest lasting luxury vehicles.As you can see, the list is dominated by Japanese models, with just three domestics-the Ford Taurus, the Chevy Impala, and the Dodge Grand Caravan.
After all this, I think the only legit takeaway is that trucks/SUVs are probably most likely to run to high miles. Most likely being the operative term. No one said anything about cost to get there, maintenance, who is driving the cars, etc. Which is why this whole thing has to be taken with a grain of salt. I think 300k would be more illuminating - I don't think 200k is a distinguishing factor today.In other words, if you want a luxury car to last, it looks like SUVs may be your best bet. "Overall, the luxury cars had notably lower percentages of cars sold with over 200,000 miles, perhaps because these cars are often leased and the requirements of those contracts keep the miles down," says Ly. Also, luxury cars in general just see fewer miles on the road period- iSeeCars.com says luxury vehicles log 10 percent less mileage than non-luxury ones
