Cars just last longer than ever before. People buy them for ego not need. That is a luxury that may be gone for ever. I had my last truck for 10 years. This new one is better and will probably last even longer. My car is a ‘93 and runs great. No need to change.
We own a ‘95 Ford Taurus (145K miles-runs great), a ‘98 Explorer (204K miles-runs great), and bought an ‘08 Fusion this past April...am hoping to trade it in on another new one within the next month or so...great car. As for the other two, they don’t look bad at all for their age and still running well (with a few minor quirks (cruise control went out on the Taurus a few years back and as much as the dealership tried to fix it, they couldn’t isolate the problem...so other than no cruise control, it’s in great shape). We have always taken care of our cars with regular maintenance, oil changes, etc. It pays in the long run.
