That's not the case for many brands. My GFs Jeep has transmission problems and a water pump failure at 17k miles. Its actually one of the worst car brands according to JD Power. She drives gently compared to me. BMWs don't make much sense to keep past 100K miles, they just cost way too much to maintain.

The only car brands you're talking about is Japanese brands and maybe the Korean ones.

Considering the cost of new cars --- if you can't get 200K with regular maintenance and minimal repairs, you have been ripped off.

Volkswagen has decent quality, though the whole DieselGate has lost them lots of buyers.

Jeeps are like Harleys. People like their looks, but they're trash cars and motorcycles.
