Sold my commute car last Sunday. Had it 15 years. Shortest time I have ever owned a car. 2003 Focus with 160,000 miles. I had planned to drive it at least 200,000 miles, but our daughter bought a new (used) car, and gave back the used 2007 Taurus we gave her 10 years ago. It only has 89,000 miles, so I am keeping it.
Wife's car is a 2000 Mountaineer with 131,000 miles.
Our "family" car is a 1987 Suburban, bought it new. 158,000 miles. It will be 31 years old in October.
Our toy car is a 1965 Mustang. Bought it fully restored......basically a brand new 50 year old car....2 1/2 years ago. I've put about 2,500 miles on it.
OP, I know what you mean about the new cars. Our daughter bought a 2017 Fusion Hybrid. Backup camera. You can use your cell phone through the radio. It coaches you on how to get better fuel economy. Tire pressure for all 4 tires can be checked on the dashboard. Nice toys, but if anything breaks, it will be expensive to fix. She did get an extended warranty, and fortunately, being in California, all the hybrid components (including the battery )are under factory warranty for 15 years or 150,000 miles.
