Odometer?

Just an idea hear me out!

What if we had an Odometer for vehicles? Which could then affect the price and sale of vehicles?

EG: If it was IRL you buy from a dealership for 35k with 6 miles on it, then lets say at 28000 miles you want to sell it, regardless of the upgrades you've done to it, you'd struggle to sell it at stock forecourt price? Yet if there was one on Auto trader with 12000 miles, it would be worth more than the 28k mile car?

So we could add this into the city to add that extra but of RP that some vehicles you store away so they hold value.

The reason the value goes down IRL is due to general wear and tear. The higher the mileage, the higher the likelihood there will be issues with the car that will cost to be fixed, which is why the price of the vehicle drops. 

This is obviously not a thing for cars in the city and therefore wouldn't affect the price of them.

Put it this way, if someone is selling a brand new car for 200k and someone else is selling the same car at 100k due to mileage, no one will ever buy the brand new car simply because there is literally no difference between the two. This would mean that prices of the new cars would slowly drop to the same price as the older cars as that is where people are spending their money.

I guess the only way it could work is if the effectiveness of armour on the vehicles deteriorates as time goes on and mileage is built up?
