I never sell my cars until they are 10 years old with at least 150k miles on the clock but which car will have better overall resale value? I think a new one with no motor replacement....no?

I also never had a chance to take the European trinkets like warning triangle and first aid kid. I would also want the plates as a memory.
I think you will get varying opinions on this front - I would do whatever you think is best, obviously depending on what options they give you. I really think you can sort of "transfer" the memories to a car that didn't get a heart replacement at 550 miles, but that's just me.
