We have kept our cars between 9-11 years, until they die or we pass them onto to the kids. We have tried to stagger things so that every 5 years or so one of them has to be replace. However, 5 years ago all three of our cars had to be replaced in the same year (accidents and expensive transmissions/motors blowing up) and we went with Toyotas for the first time. These cars has been a joy, with no unexpected maintenance issues so far, as compared to our previous GM/Chrysler/Ford cars.
Mine has just over 100K miles. DW's has only has 55K miles which is low for a 2011 model year (every time I bring it in for its regular maintenance I am approached by a salesperson wanting me to trade it in towards a new car). We are hoping to get another few years out of them.
We have budgeted for another "newly used" car (SUV or minivan), we are taking our time about it and looking for a good deal.
