For anyone who is interested, I have to brag on my 07 Envoy Denali that was purchased new in 07, now has 154,099 miles and although it has been retired to my wife's casual use we fight over who gets to use it most of the time.
I have logged all the maintenance and operating costs which includes fuel, tires, batteries, oil, filters, fluid changes, HVAC control module, evap purge valve, headlight bulb and some other misc. items. The third set of tires are about 20% worn so it looks like they will last until 190 k. It does need shocks and struts but the brakes are still in the acceptable range. Total expenditures shown on my spreadsheet is $26,108.62.
$26,108.62 / 154,099 miles = $0.17 per mile which I think is good.
To be honest, I do my own maintenance and minor repairs, the car has seen a lot of long distance travel, is always seviced @ 5000 miles, garaged most of the time and has lived in the mid south all its days, So it has been well cared for.
It still hauls my 5000# boat out of the water twice a year.
