Personal advice
Jennifer and Fritz Kysar
Kearneysville, W.Va.
1994 Ford Ranger pickup
488,000 miles
Advice: "If you're going to drive a vehicle for a long time, buy replacement parts with a lifetime warranty. I haven't paid for a set of brakes in eight or nine years," Fritz Kysar says.
Jim and Sharron Amis
Ringgold, Ga.
1995 Honda Civic
227,000 miles
Advice: "Simple, basic maintenance on a regular schedule will take you many miles. I buy a logbook and keep track of everything I do in it," Jim Amis says.
Tom and Ruth Bushaw
Kennewick, Wash.
1990 Lexus LS400
332,000 miles
Advice: "Get things fixed as they crop up, even the little things. If it gets too expensive or too much of a hassle, then it's probably time to replace the car," Tom Bushaw says.
