s/o how long do you drive your cars?

[aliciar6]

have had the jeep since Oct 2002, has 117K miles on it...but since i lifted it, it doesn't drive as well (thanks XH for doing a piss poor job of putting the lift kit on right), it gets crappy gas mileage and will be traded in for a fuel efficient family vehicle soon. i never planned on getting rid of the jeep, but i also never planned on having a family or living 40 miles from work either.

truck we have had since 2005 or 2006, has 176K miles on it. will drive it til it dies or will cost more to fix than what it's worth as a trade in.

I drove my Camry until it was 14 years old and had 120K miles on it. I would have kept driving it, except my mom offered me my dad's old car when he passed away. It was a very generous gift that I decided to accept. Now I drive a 2006 with 60K miles.

I'm nice to vehicles, but I drive them until they are dead.

This. DH and BIL are both mechanics. I plan to get 15 or so yrs out of my current car which was purchased brand spanking new in 05.
