My car is almost 19 years old but since I have worked at home most of the time I have had it, it has very low mileage on it. I have taken several long trips in it, one last fall. So far it is holding up well with only a few things needing replacement like the radiator and a door lock. It is a Honda Accord. Anyone have an older car that is their primary means of transportation?

my car is six years old and so far i never had any problems with hit. In fact, I have a good quality car. It doesn't break down. It is a Toyota and I always think that they have been good quality cars and they are the one to have if you are interested.

I like my Honda and will keep it as long as I can. It gets decent gas mileage, still looks good and runs well. Now, I just hope I haven't jinxed it.

Glad you like it. I bought mine new so I'm the only owner it has ever had and I have put most of the miles on it. In almost 19 years I'm only on my second set of tires and those look like new.

My car is new. Well it's used but pretty new. It's a 2006 Mustang. My husband thought that he just had to get it. Boys with their toys!!


myLot reputation of 92/100. stealthy (2788)   ranked 191 out of 37,632 in life  3 years ago

Mine is a hatchback so it looks fairly sporty. I had a real sports car before it, a Datsun (Nissan) 280zx; it was fun to drive.

I bought a SEAT Ibiza last year brand new. I am happy with it. The car I had before was a VW Polo, I bought that one brand new, too and I had it for 13 years with no problems. When I gave it to the dealer he said it would be exported to Russia as where I live there are strict ecological laws. This car was in very good mecanical condition and didn`t have any rust spots not either. I am glad that somebody in Russia still has a use for it.


myLot reputation of 92/100. stealthy (2788)   ranked 191 out of 37,632 in life  3 years ago

Never heard of the SEAT Ibiza, I guess it is something we don't get here in the US. The almost 19 year old Honda I have now is the oldest car I have ever had and the longest I have kept a car. Usually before this I would get a new one after 8 years. I did get a new one after 1 year once because someone offered to buy the 1 year one at a price I couldn't refuse.

My truck is 15 years old. That is our newest vehicle. My husbands everyday driver is 21 years old.
I think as long as you take care of the car it will treat your well back.


myLot reputation of 92/100. stealthy (2788)   ranked 191 out of 37,632 in life  3 years ago

The truck is the first response that is older than my car. I never had a car more than 8 years before this one, so far so good.

I got you beat. I have a 1978 Mercury Marquix, with low milage. Its still in good shape, looks good and runs like a champ. With gas as expensive as it is, it doesn't go for many joy rides. The car is my primary means of transportation too.

My car is now 6 years old. I got it last year directly form germany. Since I like german cars and previously i owned a VW Golf III, I choosed the VW Golf IV. It is with a 1.9 TDI with 150hp. My friends couldn't belive that a diesel car has so much horsepower. But after a few test drives they changed their mind. Some of my friend call this car ar diesel sports car:D

My little car is 10 years old. I bought it just over 3 years ago when I started driving. But I am thinking of buying a new one next year. My car is Nissan Micra and is a bit on the small side for two car seats. So now that I have my full licence and am a much better driver than when I first started, I'll be getting a new one.
