Mercedes 3-8 years. Kept the last one 8 years because of covid, and it was a year too long. If we lease, then 3 years, if we buy then shoot for 5. It actually doesn't even pay off to keep it for the 5 years, it works out to be the same, but supply issues have been an issue the last few years.

But my brother in laws mom who just died at 99 got a brand new car as her 19 birthday gift.

She kept it 80 years and gave it to her grandson in Will. Mint condition

This. Ours are currently 20 and 17. But our average miles/yr is way under the average and we are good about regular maintenance.

My husband changes cars more often than he changes his underwear. I can’t even begin to tell you how many cars we’ve had in the last 18 years. It’s his thing. He’s CONSTANTLY looking for a new car. I have learned to accept it.

New cars about 9-10 years.
1991 --> 2001 --> 2011 --> 2019

The 2019 purchase was a certified pre-owned and will not keep it 10 years. It's awful and would love to offload it now, but I have some other large purchases coming up so trying to hold out.

11+ years unless repairs starting to cost me a lot of time and money.
Last car was bought used in 2008 and I sold it in 2019.
2019 one should easily last 15 years as I drive only 5k a year.

We have four. We bought each new in the following calendar years - 1999, 2013, 2021, 2022. We have teenagers so we’re keeping the old cars for now.
