We have 2 cars and plan on keeping both of them.
Mine is a 2014 Toyota Corolla that I bought 1 year ago. I took it in for an oil change even though I've only driven 1600 miles in a year!
DH drives my hand-me-down 2003 Toyota Camry. It has about 86,000 miles on it and is in very nice shape for being 15 years old. We keep the Camry because we already own it and it's been inexpensive to maintain and insure.
One of the reasons we keep it is that sometimes we loan it to our son and DIL. She is immigrating from China but when she has been here it has been helpful to them to have a 2nd car so he can go to work and she's not left isolated. We are more than willing to loan it to them for blocks of time (like 3 weeks or so) and we can accommodate that pretty well but it does take some planning, compromising and adjusting on our part. We just like our independence and the ability to go somewhere without leaving the other one stranded. Just takes some planning.
