I think I've waxed my Mystique once since it was new. With 203,000 miles on it and almost eight years under its belt, a glossy paint job isn't going to bring me a penny more at trade in time, so why waste my time? I've outgrown the desire to have the shiniest car in town decades ago!

-Mark- '99 Mystique LS, totally original (including the original water pump and the premium stereo)! Bought new in December 1998 for $21,000. 208,000 miles
