I guess I'd question "regularly."

In any case, something makes cars depreciate over time. Lots of people don't dump their cars just because they're tired of them. And, if you're just driving somewhere like the US Southwest, age probably isn't the issue.

Anyway, If the cabs were getting 100k miles per year, how often were they getting replaced?


Some of these cabs are lasting 30+ years, though they often use old cop cars which also have high mileage. The limitation is offen accidents not direct mileage.
