[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just came to the realization that I'm a "lifetime" buyer.  My second car is going on 12 years (honda civic), I had my first for 10 (used volvo sedan).  I don't see any need to trade it in, it runs great, maintenance is still affordable and there's obviusly no payment.   Our second car is a SUV we bought 5 years ago, we paid off the loan in 2 years and will probably keep it until it dies.

Dont see any need to trade in a perfectly good car, not get much for it, only to start over with new payments.   [/quote]

We are the same.  We buy cars and don't get rid of them until they are at least 15 years old - well so far the only 2 cars we replaced were 15 year old cars which we sold for a very low price to someone who needed a car that was cheap and ran well (we had a honda and a toyota and despite their respective ages, they were in tip top shape).  We only replaced them because we had kids and the safety features on the old civic and tercel were not wonderful as those cars were both from the early '90s.  We expect to keep our current cars long enough to give them to our kids when they learn how to drive.  [/quote]
