[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd say it's not just year, but mileage.  I am still driving a 16 year old Honda.  But it has super low mileage, 112k since a lot of that time we were in the city and taking metro or walking everywhere.

It could easily make it until 20 years most likely.

But I have a friend who drives all over the state for work and her 2010 Acura is about to die.  However, she has 180K miles on it.[/quote]

It's also a mileage question for me.  I replaced my last car at 11 years, but it had 175k miles on it and lots of issues - it was getting scary to drive, I knew that I was looking at thousands in repairs, and it just wasn't worth it.  My 2008 RAV4 has 133k miles on it, and I'm hoping for at least 3-4 more years (currently driving ~13k/year) before replacement.  However, my husband is also a 'car guy' (as another poster mentioned), so he switches cars every 3-5 years.

Most of my friends seem to hold onto their cars for 15-20 years, but they're also lower mileage drivers than I am....I doubt that any of them have more than 100k miles on 12-15 year old cars.[/quote]
