how long do you keep your vehicles?

[timaishu]

This idea to make this thread came to me because there is a guy around my age (23) in my neighborhood and he goes through cars quick.

Since I have been paying attention. I have seen him drive a ford ranger, 4th gen mustang v6, 8th gen civic, then the ranger came back, 3rd gen mustang 5.0, and now his most recent car a 2000ish bmw 328i. The family has only been in our neighborhood for 2 years.

They are definitely a car family. Dad has a black expedition, matte black tacoma, black wrangler, and a black suped up mustang foxbody 5.0.

I am curious if anyone else here does this. If I had the money, I would definitely find it fun switching out cars, but I enjoy my 3.5altima enough to keep it for a several more years till I can justify a new ride.

What about you guys?

I've had my Subaru Legacy GT almost 8 years. Not quite 100k miles on it yet so I hope to keep it another couple of years.

I drive them till the wheels fall off.I have 4 vehicals and one is paid off the other three will be in october.

My truck is the only vehical that I've purchased brand new......its 2001 and now has 113,000 on the clock everything we have was purchased used.I do 99% of all maintance and repairs myself.

I hate car payments so I do the best I can to stay away from them.

I've kept my last two vehicles 7 years. I got bored with both, a black 1989 Nissan Maxima and a red 1999 Honda Accord. The car I currently have (1999 silver Lexus GS400) I've had for about 2 years. I really want a manual and so I see myself getting another car in 3-5 years.

It seams like we keep our drivers around 6 yrs or so. A lot is based on mileage and reliability though.

I still have my second vehicle, an 86 Silverado. I've had it for 26 yrs.

I had my 08 Accord EX for 2 years. I put close to 75K miles on it and when it got time for new tires, I said screw it and got the 2010 TSX. I figured since it had alot of miles on it for a 2 year old car, I should probably get rid of it while I could still get some dough for it. I don't know how some people do it...I guess they just got the dough to do it.
