TBH mate, most private owners treat their cars like shit. Either they don't care or they're just plain stupid.

From my experience, people who drive a lot with a certain car seem to look after it more since it is their "workhorse and partner". And even if the car gets abused, at least it gets maintained regardless of cost.

I'd rather have a 150k police car than some old ladies low-milage city runabout whose engine hasn't seen operating temperature, let alone a service in the last 10 years...
