Just curious about how long the peas keep their cars.  And share model and mileage if you'd like! The oldest car in our household is my 2007 Odyssey. It has around 255,000 miles on it. There's also a 2012 Toyota Camry, a 2012 Nissan Sentra, and a 2016 Honda HRV in the family. We had originally planned to replace the Odyssey with a Pilot or CRV in 2021 but the market has been so terrible that we're holding out as long as we can. (Hope I didn't just jinx myself!) |

I drive the oldest car in our household. I have a 2010 Lexus RX350 with 160,000-ish miles on it. Lots of life left in it, IMO. I drove a minivan for 17 years and over 300,000 miles. I want a reliable car but I'm perfectly willing to drive "all the goody out of it" as we say in the south.
Edited to add:
After reading other's posts, I'm adding that I didn't even buy it new. I bought it from my oldest son's godparents when they bought a new car.

Currently, we have two 2022 cars, but got them both in the second half of last year. Our previous cars were a 2012 Mazda with 210k on it and a 2013 Acura with 145k. They were both still in great shape and hadn’t had any major problems but we were starting to feel like our luck would eventually run out so we traded them in while the market was crazy to maximize what we could get for them. (Still shocked at how much we got for them lol)

DH drives a 2010 Mercedes C300 with less than 90,000 miles on it but he didn't buy it new. He bought it in 2013.

2004 Honda Pilot with over 250,000 miles on it. We traded in my 2004 Pilot for my 2019 Highlander. I loved that Pilot and shed a tear when we left it in the Toyota parking lot. But, I love my Highlander too! |

I typically keep my cars for around 10 years.
Right now I have a 2021 Subaru Forester with about 17,000 miles on it.

I am single and drive a 2011 BMW 5 Series with lots of kilometres on it (no idea of the number) ... I'll continue to drive it until it starts to cost me some serious money ... right now I love not having a car payment!  |

We don’t buy new cars so it’s not necessarily that we’ve kept it that long. Younger DD’s car is a 2012 Ford Escape. That’s the oldest we’ve got at the moment. I think we’ve had it four years.

But, I love my Highlander too! I also had a 2004 pilot that I loved. My SIL has it now and it has about 250k miles. I have a (used) 2014 Odyssey with about 91k miles. My DH just got a brand new car a year ago. I plan on driving the van for 4ish more years. |

Both of our cars are '08. One has around 170,000. The other is just shy of 200,000. We bought them both used. We'll keep them until a mechanical issue costs more than $2-3000 to fix. We rather like not having a car payment and insurance is cheap, even at full coverage.

My everyday vehicle is a 2012 Cadillac with 177,000+ miles. I’ve owned cars for longer but not with that much mileage. The oldest car in my collection is a 1962 corvette.

I have a 2013 Ford Fusion with 86,000 miles on it. I'm sad they're not making them anymore. Same thing happened with my last car, a 2004 Ford 500. They stopped making them in 2007. I must be a car line killer. As soon as I get one, they stop making them.  |

2010 Ford Fusion hybrid. Bought it new when I retired and thought it will probably be my last vehicle, so I put all the accessories on it that were around at the time. It has GPS map in the dashboard, heated leather seats. It has 93,780 miles at this time. The first 18 months we had it we drove the heck out of it....Drove to the Grand Canyon, to Yellowstone Park and over to see the last Shuttle launch (in Florida) and to Canada. The dealer could not believe it, every time he turned around I was back for an oil change because of the miles. Our road trips have greatly decreased now. I have turned into the little old lady who does not put miles on the car. I think "13 year old car" time for a new one. Then I look at the mileage and think, "No, this one still has lots of miles to go before it is done."
ETA: One of the reasons the 2010 has low mileage for its age--we didn't drive it during the hot summer months after the Takita airbag situation was made known to the public. After we were able to get it replace, then I began to drive it again.

1998 Buick Century bought in 2000 with 7500 miles on it. It was my daily driver along with a few longer trips each year. Bought a 2017 Hyundai Tucson in 2017 but still drove the Buick to work (a very short commute of about 4 miles each way) until the Fall of 2021 when I started driving the Tucson. Dh still drives the Buick as his “run to town” ride, it currently has about 116,000 miles on it. It was and still is a pretty dependable car, has had regular maintenance and a few repairs over the years, but nothing major.

2003 PT Cruiser with 325000, but inoperable. DH wants to resurrect her to make 350000, but I said she's done her best and to say farewell.
My 1999 CRV had 265000 and lasted until 2021.The rack and pinion system took her out.
Our 2010 Galant has 160000. We like to drive.

My husband has a 1985 Jeep CJ7 with about 70,000 miles on it.
He's the original owner and obviously doesn't drive it much.
But it was our daily driver for awhile way back.
It's a manual so i've never driven it.

we have two 'project' cars in the garage - they've both been daily drivers in the past but currently aren't in rotaton. DH's 1981 Mustang (his first car that he got in 1989) that is in need of restoration and DS's 1978 Ford F150 that was his first vehicle bought in 2010...it doesn't fit in his garage so it's living in ours for now.
Actually being driven regularly?
1986 Chevy pickup (DH's - inherited from his dad in 2004), 2002 Ford Mustang (just acquired for DD to learn on), 2012 Cooper Mini (DH's commuter car - bought in 2014), and 2014 Ford Flex (our family car -bought in 2016 I think). None of them bought new. No plans to replace any of them anytime soon.

2003 Ford Escape, it was DH commute-mobile until Covid and now he works from home and never goes anywhere... As soon as my kids' get their licenses it's theirs. It has 150,000 miles and we just paid to have the struts and the oil pan replaced, otherwise we've never had a problem with it, other than people stopping us all the time to ask if we're selling it.
Our other two cars are circa 2004.

The oldest is a 2019 Lincoln Navigator. Don't know the mileage. Generally we buy a vehicle about a year old and keep it for about five.

I drive a 2007 Toyota with about 210k miles on it. I really want a new car, but, I hate car shopping SO MUCH. I have been using the pandemic as an excuse, but, I do need to figure it out, soon. I have loved my Toyota and it has hauled my family high and low for the past 16 (?!) years. Best car money ever spent.
