    My F-150's, 3 years. I average around 45K miles per year, so after 3 years they are gone. I sell the truck and go get another one.

    The wife, well that is a different story, and she only puts about 12K miles a year on her car. At 30 months she is itching for another one.

    Depends, had vehicles for 10yrs and I’ve done the every 3 year lease. If it’s a good vehicle and serves what I need it stays until one of those things change.

    As long as it does what I need. I have a 2004 Explorer we bought new, a 2012 economy car we bought to run up miles going to work and my truck is 2014. No plans to replace any of them. Last vehicle change was 4 years ago when I needed a bigger truck to haul an RV.

    Until it starts becoming a maintenance issue or it’s totaled.

    Current car is a base 2012 Honda Civic with 280k miles. Bought with 30k miles on it back in 2014. 7yrs and 250k miles trouble free miles still runs great and gets 36-40mpg.

    can’t afford to buy new and replace every few years.
