The set of journals have been ranked according to their SJR and divided into four equal groups, four quartiles. Q1 (green) comprises the quarter of the journals with the highest values, Q2 (yellow) the second highest values, Q3 (orange) the third highest values and Q4 (red) the lowest values.
Now, the New York Times offers the viewpoint that, in terms of cars and mileage, 200,000 is the new 100,000. Two numbers make it apparent that 100K is no big thing anymore: The average car on the road is about 11 years old, and the average car is driven about 15,000 miles per year. Multiply those figures together and youâve got a fairly average car with something like 165,000 miles on it.
That is a lot of miles for a car if it is much less than 5 years. 12,000 miles per year is the so called Blue Book value so if it has more pay less than the Blue Book price for it. I have had my car for five years or more -- Hyundai accent -- but only have 35,000+ on it. My wife has had hers one more month than mine and hers is beyond the 70,000 mark.
