    I’ve had 3 cars the first was 10yo when i bought it, the second was 3yo when i got it, the last one was new. Each one lasted 5 years, 12 years and then 10 years respectively. Moved to a walkable/bikeable city & I don’t even have a driver’s license anymore. New cars are not bad as long as it doesn’t get changed out every other year, and you get one that is a reliable model.

      You had a brand new car that only lasted 10 years?? What are you doing to your cars??

      My friend has a 1993 Toyota Land Cruiser that the mechanic said drives like new.

      I have a 2008 Nissan 350z that I’d expect to get another 10 years out of.

        Sold it when we moved out of the country, lol. It was a 2007 FJ Cruiser we got for 18k, sold it for 10k. Only changed the starter (drowned it), and a couple other things. Best vehicle I ever owned.
