Most of us are too optimistic when it comes to our futures. I'm all for positive thinking, but we most often expect the future to be better than our pasts. This isn't always the case.\r\nThis concept is illustrated by a Prudential Insurance ad where they ask people to place magnets, one each, for something that happened to them in the past and, one each, for something they expected to happen in the future. Good things were represented with yellow magnates and bad things were represented with blue magnates. For the past it was pretty even good and bad, but when looking into the future, people anticipated much more good than bad coming their way.\r\nClick here to view the Prudential commercial.\r\nWhat does this have to do with cars. Well, most people buy cars on credit and base the payment on at worst their life not getting any worse and at best getting a promotion, raise, or some other type of monetary increase. This leads to all manner of problems  and people over extend their income.\r\nBe realistic about your future. Expect the best, but plan for the worst. That way, you will always be prepared.\r\nClick to Listen:\r\n[powerpress]\r\nMy friend Ellory Wells, has been telling me for a long time I should recommend specific vehicles to my listeners. I have resisted because I want to teach the car buying process. I want to teach someone how to fish, not give them a fish.\r\nHaving said all that, I have come across two articles that help me point my listeners in the direction of some vehicles that will with the best chance to go over 200,000 miles.\r\nEver wonder what vehicles can go 200,000 miles most often?\r\nIf you are like me you have. I want to know that my vehicle has the oomph to last. No car is cheap and we all work too hard for our money to just throw it away.\r\nLuckily, there are a couple of articles that share some of the vehicles which most often make it past 200,000 miles.\r\nOne is from our friends at Consumer Reports, Best cars for making it to 200,000 miles, 10 models most likely to run for the long haul.\r\nConsumer Reports' Top 10:Toyota PriusToyota CamryHonda OdysseyHonda PilotToyota CorollaHonda Accord sedan (4-cyl.)Honda CR-VToyota SiennaToyota Highlander (V6)Honda Civic (non-hybrid)\r\nThe next article is from I See Cars. Their article, Top 10 Longest-Lasting Vehicles in iSeeCars.com Study Are All Trucks and SUVs. I didn't know much about I See Cars, but they are a site that allows one to search and compare cars. They also have a research tab.\r\nTop 20 Longest Lasting Vehicles:Ford F-250 Super DutyChevrolet Silverado 2500HDChevrolet SuburbanToyota 4RunnerFord ExpeditionGMC Sierra 2500HDChevrolet TahoeGMC Yukon XLToyota SequoiaGMC Sierra 1500GMC YukonHonda AccordDodge DurangoSubaru LegacyToyota TacomaToyota AvalonFord ExplorerFord F-150Lincoln NavigatorChevrolet Silverado 1500\r\nI See Cars also had lists that excluded trucks and another that was only listed with cars.\r\nThese two studies came at the information from very different points of view. I would recommend checking out both articles for all the details.\r\nGive this episode a listen!\r\nLinks:\r\nEllory Wells: http:\/\/ellorywells.com\r\nConsumer Report - Best cars for making it to 200,000 miles 10 models most likely to run for the long haul: http:\/\/www.consumerreports.org\/cro\/news\/2015\/03\/ten-for-the-long-haul\/index.htm\r\nI See Cars Article - Top 10 Longest-Lasting Vehicles in iSeeCars.com Study Are All Trucks and SUVs http:\/\/blog.iseecars.com\/2014\/02\/24\/top-10-longest-lasting-vehicles-in-iseecars-com-study-are-all-trucks-and-suvs\/\r\nPrudential Commercial: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=o3pFHPgH3oU\r\nDid you enjoy the show?\r\nIf you liked this episode, please consider going to iTunes and subscribing.\r\nOn iTunes once you subscribe, you can leave a rating and review.
