7 years - buying used

2011 Honda CR-V - 3/2014

2006 Accord
2007 Solara

Kept the last car 17 years, expect to keep these just as long.

 

[Floridatennisplayer]

1987 Mercedes 300E
2002 Mercedes E350
2013 Mercedes C300 Sport

I keep them a while.

2010 Focus. I bought it used in 2013

Before that I drove a 1993 Dodge Shadow for 20 yrs.

Before that I was in the military for 20 yrs and had to rotate cars faster than I wanted to due to re-assignments.

2010 Compact import hatchback
1990 Compact import sedan

We're essentially a one car household, with a backup car

2003 Ford F350 I received in October 2002. I just ordered a 2017 F350.

I drive cars/trucks about 15 years, then get a new vehicle.

2012 Civic I got on the last day of the month in April 2012. 73,000 miles later and it's getting better MPG than when she started.

 

[RE2Boys]

2011 minivan purchased used in 2013, current mileage at 40K
2012 compact SUV purchased used in 2016, current mileage at 51K

And for my college boys:
2010 compact SUV purchased used in 2016, current mileage at 46K
2011 compact SUV purchased used in 2016, current mileage at 65K

The last three vehicles sold/traded were 12 years old when replaced.
When purchased, the price of the above ranged from $6K (but needed $1200 immediate maintenance) to $18K for the minivan

Haven't bought a new car since 1989.

 

[unclemick]

2006 Equinox, 228k miles
2013 Silverado 48k miles

Heh heh heh - The Silverado came with Farm. And then and then are the 1972 Chevy 10 wheel C 60 complete with a 25 foot hydraulic lift boom, a 454 Chevy 1983 Flatbed, Kawasaki and Echo ATV's, Five Tractors and a 1958 John Deere bulldozer which I've gotten to start but haven't had nerve enough to drive yet.

P.S. My Wife has a Honda Fit 2012 - a sensible 'city car.'

Just bought a car last week. It's a 2014 Toyota Corolla S. The S is for Sport which is kind of silly in a Corolla but this one had a back-up camera and I thought that was an excellent idea. 35,000 miles and 3 years old.

But the best feature about this car is WE PAID CASH!!! It's the first time we ever did that.

My previous car is a 2003 Toyota Camry with 84,000 miles and this one is now DHs "new" car. His 2001 Toyota Corolla with 142,000 miles will go on Craigslist in a few weeks.

SUV -7 model years old, bought used 6.5 yrs ago. Now driven by DD, the "family car" that will go to DS when she goes to college

Coupe - 2017 model year, bought used 4 months ago. "Dad's car" (my daily driver)

 

[MarieIG]

I have bought my vehicles old and kept them until they are forcibly taken away.

I am driving a 2006 Honda Accord, which was a gift from DF who bought it for me new, and is now passed. It has sentimental value for me and I don't want to give it up.

 

[gamboolman]

2006 Honda Accord - has about ~130K miles on it.

 

[ABQ2015]

I like smaller sporty looking cars but not a true sports car as is too expensive and I'm not brave enough to drive it appropriately. I keep my cars about ten years as I have not had great luck with them and get nervous at about 100K miles that they will break down on me. So my last three cars have been:

1986 Honda Prelude
2000 Mercedes C230
2007 BMW 328i (current car)

But for my next vehicle, I want one with more ground clearance and AWD with sufficient cargo room for long road trips so am considering a Subaru Outback.

 

[atmsmshr]

1987 Mercedes 300E
2002 Mercedes E350
2013 Mercedes C300 Sport

I keep them a while.

Lightly used Mercedes for over 25 years. Used Benzes for sale are all over Florida. Current ride is a 2007 S550 bought for $27k with 40,000 miles. Cost $100k new. Usually drive them another 6-7 years. Given 2 hand me downs to DS. First car for DD was a 97 ML320 (a tank) which is now my beater truck. Do nearly all my own work.

 

[braumeister]

I've driven nothing but SUVs for 30 years.
I get a new one about every five years, when they have close to 150K miles on them.

 

[IMATERP]

I'm 56. 2008 Honda Accord LX - 130,500 miles on it. I am certain that it will last another 5 to 10 years.

I may sell it next year and buy my wife's 2015 Toyota Camry XLE. She wants a smaller car and we bought the Toyota for her in a bit if haste after she totaled her 9 year old VW Jetta.

BTW - totaling her VW was one of the best outcomes as nobody was hurt, she received a very high payout from the insurance company, and her ownership fell in the doughnut hole where she was entitled to the VW Jetta rebate ($2,500) as well.

 

[Dawg52]

2013 Hyundai Santa Fe GLS with 58k miles. Engine light came on when out of town earlier this week. Took it to the nearest dealer and ended up needing a computer update of some kind. Hopefully not something that will start popping up.

 

[easysurfer]

Have about 35K miles on a used Honda Fit. Car is about 5 years old.

 

[ShokWaveRider]

BMW 328d 2014 (for 15 more days)
BMW 330i 2017, pick it up at the end of the month.

I only typically keep cars for 3 years, then lease a new one. OK..... it is my only real extravagance.

 

[Moemg]

2017 Rav 4 XLE . So far I really really like it .
