Have you never had a car start burning oil due to gasket failures and what not?
All of the cars I've owned had 80k plus miles on them when I bought them, and most recently I disposed of a 2001 Corolla with 265k miles on it. They all had various moving parts that failed at least annually and prevented me from using the vehicle *at all*. I'll take a slightly reduced range on my EV over that, any day.
