I keep all my cars for 10 years. I read an article once that said if you don't and you trade every three years that over the course of a lifetime you will pay close to 400k in car payments. I am getting ready to let the wife off the hook on the 2005 Honda Van a little early as she is complaining about driving a nine year old vehicle. I do like the imports for small cars versus American as they are more reliable and hold their value much better. Fort trucks, I buy American; American trucks resale is just a little behind Toyota and ahead of Nissan. I drive a Ford truck and probably always will. I got 215k out of the last one before I sold it and it was still going strong. I have had three of them and all of them were awesome.
