All our kids inherited our old cars, eliminating having to take a chance on buying used. The tradition still continues, our DIL is still driving our old 220,000 mile Corolla. We figured she would drive it for a few months until they could afford a new one. She has been driving it for a few years now and loves it. And at the last family get together, they were all arguing who gets "Blue" our commuter Mazda3.
