In 32 years, I have owned exactly 5 cars which breaks down to 6.4 years per vehicle. Pretty much the average but my current car, a 1999 Mitsubishi Montero, is jacking that average up and I have no intention of ditching it any time soon. Sure, its got a few dings and bruises but I decided to stick a couple grand into tuning it back up and hope to squeeze another 50k miles out of it. Right now, the odometer reads approximately 218,000. My wife has the "new" car. A 2007 Chevy Cobalt (which, by the way, is up for sale!)

You see, when it comes to cars, I absolutely HATE -- with the fire of a thousand suns -- having a monthly car payment. I haven't had one in probably six or seven and do not want another if I can at all help it. Cars, to me, are no longer a status symbol but, rather, a means of getting from point A to point B. I need something reliable and functional. That's it.

I'm always a bit shocked to see the volume of shiny newer cars on the road but there are some that folks are less likely to trade-in or sell every few years than others. In Yakima, these are the "Top 5 Cars Yakima-Pasco-Richland-Kennewick Owners Keep for 15 Years or More".
