I started with a F150 that had the turbos go at 120000kms. Then a Tacoma that was a service hog. Now I'm on my Volvo, which is actually been the cheapest of the three believe it or not...but it only has 100000kms on it.

But to pylon's point, the moment you need to replace the battery *and someone will need to eventually*, it is easily the most expensive vehicle on your list for maintenance and repairs, and the battery replacement is worth more than the vehicle itself. You're more likely to take it to scrap than fix it. An old ass Civic, there are breakers that have usable engines and transmissions sitting around for less than the price of a Peloton bike.
