I'm a buy it new and drive it for 250,000 miles or more kind of guy. The last one didn't have one single body panel that wasn't dented or replaced at 330,000. Some of them matched...
They all break, new or old. I keep mine in tip-top shape, mechanically, and run the crap out of them. 100,000 miles is just barely broke in.
Whenever I get a new one, I cringe a little on the first ding or scratch, but then it's just another work truck, and they are there to be put to work.
