I haven't moved either, as I said, and also less wear and tear on
the car. Sometimes I get busy doing things inside the house or
out in the yard, and the car doesn't even leave the garage for a
full day or two.
We have annual inspections here, and they always smile at the low
mileage on the car I bought about a year before retiring...I'm
averaging about 3K per year.
Which is another reason not to move, everything I need is quite
nearby to this location, less mileage, less cost.
All depends, of course, on how one chooses to spend ones own
money.
