I bought a cheap, new car about five years ago and think I could easily get another ten out of it. I don't love driving it but it was one of the best financial decisions I've made.

Wife vehicle #1 we drove for 11 years and 265,000 miles.
Wife vehicle #2 we drove for 14 years and 244,000 miles.
Both Honda.
I drive mine no more than 20k miles and 1-2 years because I get bored easily. That’s why I always buy used from private sellers. (To limit my losses)

Wife has 2006 Mini Convertible. It has about 150K. Has used oil since we bought it new...its built by BMW so that is to be expected. Other than keeping oil in it....about a quart every 5000 miles....it is reliable. I hate the damned thing but it is kind of nice of an evening to spool around with the top down smoking a cigar....

At 14 years. Driving a 2010 Acura TSX. Only 138k as my commute to work is short.

my wife’s 2012 wrangler has almost 300K on it. Nary a hiccup

2013 Ram 1500, 170k

We've had several cars in the family last that long. Usually starts out with an older person driving it for 5 years or so and passing it down to a younger person.
Used to do that with my Mom's Buicks - she'd pass it to my older sister, then pass it to me. My older sister smokes like a chimney so I'd have to give the car a complete cleaning.

I'd throw out some money to get that truck, especially if it did not have an automatic.

I have a 98 GMC 1500 with right out 300000 on it. Was a daily driver until gas went sky high.

Funny i see this today. I ran into my great uncle this morning at a local breakfast joint and immediately recognized his truck. When walked in I asked him how long has he been driving the same truck. 30 years was his answer. F-150 that he purchased new when I was 8 years old. He has no intentions on replacing it either.

13 years so far out of a 2011 Acura MDX. Over 250k miles. Used to be my wife’s daily driver, but I took it over as mine when she got a new vehicle a couple of years ago. Still looks amazing on the inside. Not sure about the new MDX’s, but this one has been amazing in every way, except gas mileage was never great. But with 260 hp, I guess I shouldn’t expect good gas mileage.

Wife’s Expedition is 14 years old, 291,000 miles. Original engine and transmission.
My F150 is 10 years old with 165,000 miles.
Keep oil and filters changed , use synthetic or synthetic blend oil, you should get 200,000 on most vehicles today.

Wish a Ford and a Chevy would still last ten years like they should.

2000 250 Powerstroke 463,000 still running. Never been in the engine. Redone the front end and could use some fresh paint

My uncle had a 2004 Toyota Tundra that he got rid of in 2022. Thing ran like a champ until the end. We held a funeral for it at its last LSU tailgate and ate jambalaya off the tailgate of it. Sent it off the right way.

I find myself more interested in how long I can keep my truck than what's new, honestly. Going on 8-9 years,250k on this one. So far so good.
Posted on 5/8/24 at 12:28 pm to Chad504boy
I’m getting close. 2011 F150 with the coyote. 180k miles, only things I’ve had to address are the bullshite coolant hose o-rings and the waterpump. All of which were super easy to swap.
