I have four running vehicles; they are
8 years old
11 years old
19 years old
61 years old.

Admittedly, the 61 yr old gets driven lightly and in warm weather.

I have two cars- 2009 Acura TSX, 2011 Honda CRV. Keep them both in great shape. My prior car, 1991 Acura Integra, i had for 20 years & 300K miles.

I love cars but they are many better ways to spend your $$$ IMO. My in laws get new cars every three years- and complain they don’t own anything.

1948 Plymouth Special Delux, 1952 Pontiac Chieftan straight 8, 1956 Studebaker, 98 Mark Eight, a pair of 20-year-old Continentals, and the new youngster, a 2017 Expedition.

The Expedition is so complex I bought an extended warranty and when it runs out, the Expedition will go. I plan on replacing it with a truck from the seventies.
