* Maintenance: Regular maintenance, including oil changes, tire rotations, and addressing any issues promptly, significantly extends a car's life. Neglecting maintenance will drastically shorten its lifespan.
* Driving habits: Aggressive driving, frequent short trips, and towing heavy loads put more wear and tear on the engine and other components.
* Storage: Proper storage when not in use can help prevent corrosion and other damage.
* Road conditions: Driving on rough roads contributes to faster wear and tear.
* Specific model year and condition: The quality of the initial build and any prior damage will influence longevity.
While some Buick Centuries might reach 200,000 miles or more with proper care, others might experience significant problems much sooner. It's not about a specific mileage limit, but rather how well the car is maintained and used.
