Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
We buy new (yes we know used is cheaper) and usually keep cars for 8-10 years. Highest mileage car we've owned was 164K - a 1982 Honda Prelude.
We've never had a car until it became unreliable, though I suspect all of the cars we sold/traded went on to run for many years. From what I read most well maintained modern cars are relatively trouble free for at least 15 years/200K miles. http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/2...iles/index.htm
I don't want to hold on until a car is unreliable or financially unjustified, but I think we need to push the years/miles envelope a little more...
