You're likely* throwing money away. In the old days 100K was pushing it, but cars these days are much better, and I'm talking Ford, GM, Chrysler too, will often run 200K+ very reliably with basic maintenance.

* the age of the car, has an effect too, since many components tend to wear out / degrade over time regardless of the mileage ... so if you're driving 100K over an extended period of time, say 10+ years, then your method may be more ideal.
