That's a good point. If you're like me, working five days every week for about fifty hours a week, you don't have that much time to just drive around. Commuting can be a b*tch, but luckily for me, work is only ten minutes away.
All in all, I put about 500 miles on my car every month just to work and back. Maybe another 200 miles going out on days off or just running errands. 700 miles/month x 12 months = 8400 miles/yr. x 4 years = 33600 miles by the end of my initial 4 years.
Add 2 years @ 8400 miles per year = 50400.
I guess the extra two years could benefit me as I'm not really planning on doing any modifications. But to each their own.
BTW, talking with my co-workers and friends, I realize I am below the national average for miles per year. On average, people put between 10-12000 miles on per year. In that case, an additional two years probably isn't worth it as you'll be over the 50k miles mark.
