I'd like to think that every one does take these things into account... but I'm sure many don't.

I do my own maintenance work, and I know more about my car than the average driver knows about... anything, so for me, it's not so big a deal.

I don't use new parts when I replace stuff, unless it's brakes or something similar, so I save money there (I don't use new tires either.)

I'd like to think that people might open their eyes at some point... instead, I find it more and more likely that I'll just close mine.
