I own a 10 year old Cadillac and it's running perfectly fine with mostly basic maintenance.

That's like the bare minimum lmao. I would hope a 2015/2016 anything functions as it should in 2026. We've got a 2015 Toyota Highlander w/120k miles that still looks and drives like new. I change the oil somewhere between every 5000-8000 miles. It's had one battery replacement. I'm considering a trans fluid change mostly just because I feel like it.

Hell, my 2008 Toyota Sienna - with 274k rough miles - is one of the few vehicles I regularly take on multiple custody related 500-mile roadtrips a year, without hesitation.

Its funny how most foreign cars are built exactly the same way now. With a lot of the "Foreign" cars actually being more American made than the "Domestic" brands lol

It only took GM until the 2000s to figure that out, and they still took a look at NUMMI and said "Nah, that's too hard".

I'm not bragging lol. The person I was replying to was talking like they disintegrate as soon as you drive them off the lot which just isn't true is all I'm saying
