Opening an old thread. I was 43 when I bought it and I still own it at 53. We keep cars until they only have scrap value so the list is short for two people. Out of order below:

We had an 86 VW Golf GTI (From Brother in law)
Dodge Neon (From Sister in law)
Ford Escort with a salvage title that I sold to my brother for 1$
Geo Prizm.
06 Corrola we bought new. (Wife's first new car)
18 Camry we bought new. (Wife's current car)
84 Pontiac Fiero (My first car)
86 Bronco II
10 Fit (My first new car and still rockin' it.)
93 Honda CBR600F2 (My first new anything and was going to be my death or ticket to jail.)

79 yrs old sold our 2019 Toyota Rav4 XLE with 7,000 miles got $28,200 for it. Went back and looked at the original sale I paid just over $29,000 for it back in Oct 2019.
Fit has 98,000 miles on it in 10 years it should have 148,000 mile on it.

Age

I am 81. Our second Honda Fit, the previous one being a 2008...kept it for 11 years. A wonderful car.

We now have a 2019 Honda Fit EX, with automatic. We are averaging 42.5 mpg over 2.5 years of driving. Most of our driving is in the mountains, or in the desert here in NM.

We have Honda Sensing, and use it all of the time. Recently, the radar and front camera saved us from a very bad accident (not our fault). The radar saw the truck 1 second before we did, and braked.

It may have saved our lives.

Wow. Let's see... I was 25 when I bought my Fit new.
38 now, and she's still going strong. The Fit was the best purchase ever made.

Sounds good. We had two Civics that we kept for 17 years each, just by coincidence. The 1980 had 305,000 miles on it.

14.2007 Ford Focus SES sedan (auto) - needed a cheap commuter with auto

So far I've owned 4 autos and 13 manual vehicles.
