How old is the car you usually drive?

[McFarnsworth]

7 years old, 15k miles
10 years old, 57k miles
23 years old, 82k miles

... I don't do a lot of miles.

[R2T2]

Daily: 6 years old, 58,000. Grande Punto T-Jet.

[SarGara]

The results are no real surprise really considering the poll jumps up an increment of 10yrs when previously only in 2yrs or 5yrs.

[Planet Claire]

My daily car is 7 years old with nearly 48k on the clock. The weekend car (which was my daily for about 8 years) is now 15 years old with 176,000 miles.

[LeoZwalf]

My daily and only car is a 22 year old Golf with almost 230,000km (so around 142,000 miles) on it.

So basic (only 'toy' is power steering, no central locking, no electric windows, not even a rev counter) cheap to run/tax/insure, easy to work on, parts are plentiful and cheap.

I've never owned a car newer than 1998 and have been driving since 1999 :-/

[ArmaghMan]

Daily 15 years 170000 miles
Toy 15 years 102000 miles

[LouD86]

My daily is generally up to 6 months old, but no older.

My fun toy, well its 18 years old, 120k on the clock, and hilarious fun!

I change my daily every 4 to 5 months.

Picked the current one up at the start of Oct, ordered a replacement today, looks like I'll change by the end of Jan.

Change the wife's car every 10 months as well.

I picked up my current car three months ago, it's ten years old.

The wife changes her car every ten years.

Only one of the five sentences above tells you how old a car is.

Why?

He's got to be on a wind up - the car in the profile picture is a filthy dirty Fiat Stilo and in the garage section he's got a Bora.

[BMW343]

Daily is 11 years old with 110K 3 series touring

Toy is 6 years old with 55 K (110 Defender)

[Bill]

My daily is 12 and on 114k, hers is 11 and on 90ish.

I suspect the age of our cars is a reflection of our (possibly misplaced) confidence in our abilities to get something reliable and maintain it, combined with a desire for something interesting that is probably more expensive new.

[Daston]

Just over 10 years and 46k miles.

[TREMAiNE]

My daily is 5 years old and has done a mere 40,000 miles.

[Chicane-UK]

My only car / daily is a 1995/M on 198,900 miles.

[SimesJH]

Daily is 7 years old and 80k
Wife's daily is 14 years old and 67k

The others range between 20-44 years old and 47k (eldest) to 165k (youngest).
