How long have you had your car? When do you plan on getting a new car?

I've had my car for 6 years. I used to put a lot of miles on my car with some brutal commutes but now I walk to work so I don't really drive often. So for now I'll keep my car.

It's also really nice not having a car payment.

I have had my car about 4 years now, and I hate it!  It was good until it was beyond the warranty and now no one can figure out what is wrong with it.

I will be getting a new car as soon as DH graduates and is working. Hopefully after the first of the year, and I can't wait! We just traded his truck in as it wouldn't have made it through the winter.

My car is about 3 years old, and I've had it the whole time. I was super snotty when I bought it, needing everything that came available, minus navigation. My problem now is that I want an SUV instead, but to get the same things in it would cost me a fortune. For now, I'll enjoy my car and wait to see if a deal falls in my lap.

I bought my car in July 04. I plan on driving it until we have kids and I need something larger. It's still in good shape and I love that I'm not paying a car payment.

I've only had the one I drive now since April  It was my mother's and she gave it to me when she had to quit driving.  It's a 2001 CR-V and I love it.  It only has about 90K miles on it and I'll probably keep it until it falls apart.

Our car's two years old. We probably won't get another one until we move to an area where public transportation is limited and we'll each need a car to commute. For now, we only use it on the weekends for errands or for small road trips here and there.

I have had my truck since spring of 07. I still have it but I lend it to my mom since Eddie and I only use his car. We were actually thinking of trading in his car for a truck sometime next year though.

I have never really been a car person and he has fallen in love with the truck Ford came out with.

My car is an 03, but I've had it since 05. I will get a new car when I'm pregnant. My car is a coupe and it's hard to get anything out of the backseat. I can't imagine trying to get a carseat in and out of there.

I drive an '02 Civic that my parents leased new, so it's almost 8 years old.  When the lease was up I bought it out, so it's been mine since '06, I think.

While this car could easily last me another 5 years (<3 Honda's) a coupe is not the most family friendly vehicle.  I guess we'll reevaluate the car situation when I get "in the family way".  Derek's car will be paid off next year, so why not throw in a new car payment! Yay! Not.

My car is an 07 and I bought it new, it already has quit a few miles on it but I will keep it for another 3 years at least. Almost to the point of no car payment!

I have a feeling, I have the oldest

Mine's a '99 ranger. I bought it new, as a high school graduation present to myself. It has 79K miles, so at this rate, I'm going to have it forever This was always the plan.

DH's personal vehicle is a '02 ranger. We're trying to sell it. It's still in AK and not doing us any good. DH drives a '08 Impala here, it's a company car, and he hates it, but its free, so he drives it.

We won't be buying another car until a kiddo comes along, which is years away.

I inherited my car from my parents. They bought it in 2003. It's still in really good shape so I'm hoping it'll last at least another few years.

We got our car in 2008, it's a 2007 Pontiac G5. So we've only had it two and a bit years... though as soon as we can (or as soon as I'm pregnant) we are buying a Chevy Equionox.

I haven't owned a car since I left Toronto in 2004.  But we're planning on buying one next year, which I'm really excited about.  Well, except for the part where I have to actually take the test to get licensed here ...

starsailorr26

I've had my car for almost five years. It's really reliable and still in great condition so I have no plans to buy a new car anytime in the next few years.

chicha0719

I've had my car since January, so 9 months. Even after it's paid off I want to keep it, it's a perfect car for us.

As far as getting a new car, as soon as DH's car is paid off next year, we are going to look for a truck for convenient purposes (moving, camping, furniture buying, etc.)

I think I take the cake. I have a 92 exploder (explorer) I've had it for 2 years, we only bought it cause Russ hit a moose with his truck (04 F-150) and he needed something cheap to get him to and from work until his truck got fixed. He has had his truck for 4 years. Hopefully my vehicle blows up soon so I can get a new vehicle.

I just got my car in August.  It is a 2005 Subaru Outback and I love it.  I don't think that I am going to get a new car for a while being that I just got my car.

I have had my car for 5 years now.  I bought it brand new with zero miles on it.  I'm paying for the zero miles though.  Car payments on interest are not fun.  I don't think I would get a new car though.  I know my ride and I don't feel comfortable in another car.  It feels like I'm cheating.
