I have a 2009, my husband and son have 2010s.

What type of repairs are costing $2k per year? And for how many years have you be this? Maintenance is always expensive but age of the car is a wash for that. Maintenance should be done on every vehicle.

I’m the one with the 2001 Jeep. We also have a 2001 Jeep Cherokee, a 2004 Nissan and two cars that are less than 6 years old. Every few years we have brakes, which are maintenance, and recently had to change out a belt of some sort. But we don’t do anywhere near $2k in repairs per year on any of our vehicles.

2007 Ford Expedition and 2010 Honda Odyssey - our kids bemoan that our cars will never die.

Lol, not even close. We currently drive a 2009 Chevy which still runs but needs to be replaced (only 80k miles but it's just a crappy car and we're happy to be done with it). But until a few years ago I was still driving a 2001 Toyota that I'd never spent more than a couple grande on repairs for and ran perfectly. We sold it because we really didn't need two cars and it was the smaller car and we'd just had a baby.

But yeah, when we buy a new (to us) car later this year it's going to be exciting because there are so many features that are standard now that we've never had. I think we're going with a Subaru, either Outback or Forester. Woohoo!

2007 Honda with 215K miles

I drive a 2007 Toyota Camry. I spent $0 in repairs last year.

Nope, we got you beat. We have a 1998. Yours isn't very old. I think our other one is a 2011. I forget.

2005 Honda Civic

99 Camry. Runs great!

2001 rag top Jeep Wrangler Sport. Old but good.

I have a 2008 Mercury Mariner with 225,000 miles on it.

I always laugh when people pay 30 percent more for foreign cars.

I have a 2010 Mazda. Not anticipating getting rid of it any time soon, but have also set money aside for a new car should,this one start to have a lot of issues. It’s at the point where I’ll pay for maintenance and small repairs, but not worth the hassle for something big.

2005 Hyundai SUV. 90k on it. Still runs great, zero issues.
