I generally buy vehicles new, or nearly new, with the intent of driving them until they turn into dust.
Two vehicles stayed with us for 14 years.
- 1989 Ford F-150, bought it new and drove it 234k miles and donated it for a tax deduction 14 years later, in running condition but needing a lot of work to keep going
- 2005 Toyota 4Runner, leased it from new, then bought it, ultimately put 206k on it, and sold it for a good price last fall, in excellent condition mechanically and cosmetically
