About 15 years ago when there was a real budget crunch on they tried repairing cars past their best before date to put off the purchasing of new cars. A disaster. I think it was a good lesson in fleet management and economics. The things were in the shop constantly. I remember the Crown Vic transmissions just wouldn't last past a certain point.
We use to keep them for 3 years. Like you said when there was a budget crunch they extended the life to 5 years.
