That's for sure.
I have owned 2 new cars in my life. The rest have all been used. And I never change cars before 150K.
My 9K was 7 when I bought it and is 9 now. My daughter's 9K (acquired in Feb.) just turned 10. My wife's Exploder is 9. Average mileage is 124,700. All run fine. I 've never understood why people feel they have to have a new car so often (ego aside, but even then...).
You listen to "Car Talk" on NPR and you hear lots of people calling in who have tons of miles on cars and with cars 7 to 10 years old. But yes, in general cars have become as disposable as other household appliances. IMHO, leases have helped this happen, but that's another topic.
I wonder what the average age of Saabs is here at TSN. It'll vary by model, too.
