If it's with mileage, anything from little to heavy is the same, being this can really be reset. Bear in mind, a car being a frequent visitor to workshops also means little mileage.When u sell you car next time, the dealer would not pay a premium for your "little driven" mileage, it's only by manufature year and perhaps, maybe service records.Again, this is through what I experienced...especially weekend cars are of main concern. The most expensive parts of your maintenance of a car would be engine, transmission and air-cond. To summarize, there is a separate mechanical design of a car between "wear & tear parts" and "major component". One is meant for constant change, one is a life system. If a car is driven everyday, you ONLY expense the wear and tear, which is norm to change all your lubrication, filter, changing your air-cond drier, ATF oil etc. These are all not expensive significantly.However, many little driven cars have not complete the so-call "servicing mileage", so the owners don't yet change their air cond driers, they don't yet change their timing belts, no lubrication etc for a whooping long period. Adding to it, the car suffers a real cold state from 5 days rest to a sudden hot pressure in weekends.This is when "major component" fails. Cases like air-cond compressor jam-up by dirt as drier not functioning, ATF leaked or even runs, con-rod problems etc. You end up changing GB, engine and even air cond compressors. These are very big bombs to spend.</blockquote>
