    OK so the car that absorbs miles the cheapest wound up with the most miles on it?

    Of the used ones put up for sale that happened to be ten years old at the time.
    That's the problem with these iSeeCars reports, they are just a narrow snapshot. Another model could have been driven further, but the high mileage examples were sold at 9 and 11 years of age.

    That's because the media and public don't know the difference between a study put out by anyone and a peer reviewed study.

    iSeeCars may actually do some solid research into the data they have, but you have to pay for it.

    If you're not trying to inform and educate the great unwashed masses....WHY do the study?

    Because some 'studies' are carefully crafted propaganda.

    Most of the fields for which that is true are referring to being published in peer reviewed journals.
