laumk7 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I'm wanting to keep my next new car until it's unviable to keep any longer, before this my longest was just over 2 yrs I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L666JER Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Well I've had my mk3.5 fiesta for nearly 3 years (first car), never intend on selling it - been tucked up in the garage for 7 months :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartynS Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I kept my first Fiesta just under 5 years, my second Fiesta just over 3 years and my current Fiesta just over 1 year so far. Wonder what my next car will be . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B13 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I had my Ford Sierra for 8 years and the Mk 1 Focus for 9. I like to get my money's-worth out of 'em!! :D Had my little Fiesta Sport van for 18 happy, bouncy, stinky, diesel-y, noisy months.

JC600 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 3-3.5 yrs, had the last 3 cars for about that amount of time. Before that average was around 18 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Haddock Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Classic Mini Cooper S (i.e. 1968 Mk2) as a daily driver for 14+ years. Sadly the tin snakes (they were much larger than worm holes :)) got it in the end as it would have required a re-shell to save it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paramanic Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 my last car was 3years and only got this one in august but planning for 4years with this one last only would have kept it longer if it gave out better mpg to be honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodkat Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 First car (Astra mk2) 9 months, second (Astra Mk3) 5 months, BMW E34 525 3 months, BMW E36 316i 3 years, Vauxhall Vectra B 5 months, BMW E36 318ti (compact) 2.5 years, Honda Accord 4 years. Had a Toyota MR2 alongside the 316i, lasted 3 months before engine ate itself, and Mondeo ST24 alongside the Honda, had for a year before I served it on as a issue-ridden heap. The Focus has been mine since September 2014. Sent from my Gen 1 WAP phone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAIDER32 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 First car was a Mk6 Escort, had it 8 years until I got my Mk2.5 Focus Zetec S, which I'll have had 2 years in May. Having had the Escort for 8 years, I imagined if I got a good condition Focus it could easily last 10 years, so far so good!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
