We planned on keeping ours for around 8. At 8 they were fine so we kept putting money in the bank and said we would go to 10. At 10 it became a game. Due to other unrelated life circumstances we replaced both car and truck at 14 years. Both vehicles were fine and sold cheaply to friends kids.

my Toyota went 14 without any repairs that were not normal maintenance (battery, brakes, shocks, etc)

Can't say enough good things about Toyota and Honda....as well as GM trucks/SUVs. They've all served us well. I can't say the same about a Chrysler that my wife and I sold when it really was on it's last leg. That thing was a huge POS and left us stranded a lot.

We'd still have our Honda Accord if it had decent traction in winter weather. Accords are legitimately awesome cars.

My current dilemma is determining how long to keep our Subaru. It's had some minor issues, but it's mostly very sturdy. It has a CVT which I've been told can be very expensive to replace when they go out. My attitude now is that a new CVT or some new head gaskets, while expensive, are WAY cheaper than a whole new car.
