What age is your car ? Whats the oldest car that you own or have owned..Is it in great condition for its age ?? My oldest car that I own is 21 years old..It is in mint condition and still drives like new, no rust and is more solid than the new cars of today..I feel totally safe in it..

Our van is 10 years old..we usually don't keep them very long..we bought this one used about 3 years ago. Unfortunately it has some rust, so I think it is time to trade it in on a more current year..I thought you had to leave your car out in the weather..I guess you don't get any snow where you live....lol...It probably does get to one bizillion degrees though..huh?

It gets hot here, thats why I would like to leave it in the garage so its cool if I need to go out, but it gets cold too, it snows about 45 minute drive away..But I have never seen real live snow before..

When we lived in Arizona the car would get so hot you couldn't put the little one in the carseat right away. We would start the air conditioner and let it cool down first..Snow is really neat..I enjoyed it more as a kid..I like to take my grandsons to slide down the hills at the park..

My oldest car is 6 years old, its done 1,70,000 kms and still running smooth. My other car has just done 35,000 kms. The first one is the one I prefer more because of its awesome mileage of 16 km/ltr. Whnever i go long distance, i take the first one. But for leisurely purpose, i take the 2nd one as it is more hipper than the former... Both are Fiat brands...

I recently gave away my VK Commodore...built late 83. That makes it nearly 24 years old. It was beginning to be a bit rough but it has done a huge amount of klms, the motor is old. My friend is driving it now and it goes through lot's of oil. I bought it late 95. It was a great car. The car I have now was my Dad's. It's a Holden Astra, built in Germany in late 97. Dad bought it in 98. When i got it last november it only had 27,000 klms on the clock. He pretty much drove it 15klms to town maybe twice a week and did a couple of trips to Sydney from tamworth...about 400 klm. I've had problems with it since i got it....lol.

Well, my current truck is 16 years old. It's a '91 Toyota pickup single cab. Yes, the truck is in great condition mechanically. We bought it off the original owner almost 2 years ago and he serviced it regularly all the way up to the time he sold it to us. It's till running strong after 250,000+ miles and passed the smog test a few months ago with flying colors. Cosmetically it needs some work. Paint job is faded, there are some dings, and the driver's side has a hole in the seat. Oh yeah, and it needs new tires all the way around.

We have a few cars here - there's a 15 year old Toyota Hilux that we've only had for about 12 months now but she's GREAT, the body & interier are in great condition & she drives excellent. There's a 12 year old Suzuki swift GTi that is gorgeous :) The body has a few bumps but they weren't caused my me ;) She drives pretty well too but we've only had that car for 4 years now. Lastly there's a Nissan Pulsar (Sentra for the American's on here) 2002 & she's still like new - low km's, runs like a dream, looks great - i don't think i could ever bring myself to part with her - she was my first 'new' car! So i've had it for 5 years but no complaints anywhere with that one!

My car is a 2003 Ford Focus and it's the first car I have ever owned. Even though it is fairly young, it still has a lot of problems, all manufacturers errors. The lates problem is my key not turning in the ignition. Ford refuses to put a recall on this problem even though it has happened on thousands of Focus's so far, and it's going to cost me about $300 bucks to replace and it will probably need to be replaced again. If I had known everything I know now about Ford I definitely would have shopped around a little bit more.

I owned a Honda Accord and its year of make was 1982. I sold it in 2005 when it was 23 years old. Now I own a 1983 bike which is running in perfect condition.

Hi Calais, I have a 98 chevy venture minivan and a 94 ford ranger. The van needs brakes but other than that it runs great. The ranger drives like its brand new. Take care, Terry

we just trade in our car with the 2007 chrysler pacifica. The oldest car I ever had is Toyota Corolla 1973. It worked so nice, and when i got that car i was like the second owner. The previous owner really took a good care of that car.

our car is a 1976 mercedes in really good condition well, was until about 2 weeks ago when she got rubbed up against a wall in a parking lot. she drives really well, but she is a big drinker so it will be time to sell soon. it feels safe to have the children in this car, i do believe it would not crumble like most cars these days if it was ever in an accident, so for the childrens saftey it will be hard to give her up, for a newer less thirsty model. her name is bluey even though she is green.
