[quote=Anonymous]Indefinitely if maintained prudently. That doesn't mean it won't require expensive replacement components from time to time, sometimes unexpectedly and inconveniently, which are still likely to cost less than a new replacement vehicle. There are other considerations in keeping a car a very long time, such as missing out on improvements in safety, efficiency, and infotainment amenities. Safety improvements, especially, are nothing to disregard cavalierly - older cars can lack extremely effective and potentially life-saving features like automated emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, supplemental airbags, better seat/headrest safety designs and lane-keeping assist, and their safety cage structures lack the degree of integrity and crush-resistance of new vehicles made with better metallurgy and safety engineering design. It is a common mistake to focus on penny-pinching over driver safety, given the stakes involved. [/quote]
