The Uber Bubble

I think people drastically overestimate the depreciation from mileage. When you go to sell your car in 15 years the difference between 150k and 300k miles is maybe a couple grand. You're taking about a few cents per hour.

The amount (and cost!) of maintenance to get a car to last 15 years is going to vary significantly based on how much it is driven

Thats usually accounted for separately from depreciation

And where! Salty New England snow/slush will wreck the carriage, compared to winter in San Diego.
