You should try to time their demise so they die on the lot. These days if you
can just get the smoldering hulk to the dealer the marque will toss in at
least a grand extra off the price of a new vehicle, even if the old one is
destined to the crusher...

Dealer? I've never bought a car from a dealer and I don't intend to
start now! Then again I've never taken a car to a garage apart from for
tyres and exhausts.

I've found that the last six months of the life of a car is often the
time you seem to MOST need a reliable vehicle. And that last six
months is when it really heads downhill.
So I try and get rid of the thing BEFORE it has that slide into the
automotive grave, but after I've gotten the best years of its life out
of it.
My Audis seem to reach about 250-300k before I take $800-$2000 for
them.
