My last two cars had 30k miles (+/- 10%) on them and one was certified.
After also owning a 10 y/o car Accord and a brand new Prelude I can say the 30k mile plan is the sweet spot for reliability and fiscal sense.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
