My father always bought the largest car he could afford (they look better generally, and certainly go better) at about 4 years old and ran them until they rusted away. As cars are better protected these days, they do last longer. I have currently owned my -
Triumph 2500TC for 33 years
Rover V8S SD1 for 25 years
Jaguar Sovereign Series 3 for 25 years
and most others in the fleet for over 10 years
Buy the right car and you never want to move on. When folk ask which I prefer, I always reply "the one I am currently driving", or I would not still have it!
