Driving less is usually a good thing. If you can avoid putting miles on your new car by putting them on your old hoopty instead, you might want to do that. However, you need to balance this against the fact that it's likely your new car probably gets much better mileage and is safer and more reliable.

In the end, it comes down to a value judgment. If you're just running down to the store, sure, drive the beater. If you're driving across the country for a vacation, it might be time to reconsider. (I've actually taken advantage of unlimited mileage offers on rental cars to rent a vehicle for vacations. For a two-week vacation, somewhere between two and three people is usually the breakeven point in cost compared to plane or train travel. If you've got at least two drivers who actually enjoy driving, it's about as fast as taking a train, and you have the option to take short detours to visit interesting sites you might otherwise have missed.)

Today, with fuel costs rising all the time, mileage is very important and should the first thing you look at when buying another car.
