Taking Care of What You Got

[Bud Kennedy]

Had the old Expedition detailed inside and out today.  This vehicle is 12 years old and has 107,000 miles and still going strong.  With the cost of new vehicles today you have to take care of what you already own.







Mrs Bud is having her 2005 Monte Carlo SS detailed next week.  Her car is 14 years old and just over 40,000 miles and still looks like it just came off the showroom floor.

I tend to keep things a long time and I have to credit good maintenance as the key to vehicle longevity.  In days past my company cars all went over 200,000 miles before they were replaced. In those days it was common to drive over 70,000 miles per year just trying to make a little money.

This might explain why I have a 29 year old Ranger Boat

Well kept. My Popop always taught me to take care of my stuff, my Dad, not so much.

Thats why I still have my wj it works fine as a daily its a v8 I get 17-18 mpg and it tows my boat well. I would love to have a new f250 but I can't swing the price.

Bud that looks great.  I have an 06 Eddie Bauer Expedition with 212,000 miles on it!
No serious problems to date.  It has only had synthetic oil it's entire life. 
Also have an 06 Scion XB with 120 and a 2012 Escape with 110.  All in great shape.

Definitely take care of them and they will last for sure!  I have a 99 Chevy Silverado that was my great uncles, still has less than 100,000 miles on it, and no rust to be seen yet!
