Car still going strong.

I've been pleased with the performance of my 2012 Kia Rio.  150,000 miles.  No mechanical problems outside of warranty except  replaced brake rotors.  Current brakes at 50,000, had them checked and they still have 8-10,000 miles on them.

The problem with this car is it is almost worthless.  The trade-in value is less than $2,000.  If i spent money to detail, maybe and could work hard to show and sell the car for $4,000.

I'm thinking about going electric.  I've heard that used electrics really lose their value.  I'm going to see if somebody can find me an electric at an auction with low miles and a range of greater than 110 miles.
