Average Age of U.S. Cars Record High, 12.2 Yrs.

[odanny]

How old are your vehicles?

My car is a 2008 VW, best car I've ever owned, 131K and runs and looks like brand new.
My truck is a 1994 C1500 W/T, don't look like new but still runs that way.



A shortage of new cars and sky-high prices for used vehicles has led to cars and trucks on U.S. highways getting older. A report from research firm S&P Global Mobility shows that the average vehicle age is now a record 12.2 years.

Automotive experts say the increasing age of cars and trucks is not entirely attributable to the distortions in the automotive marketplace. It’s the fifth straight year that the average age has increased.

I have a 2006 Tacoma bought used with 150,000 miles. Only routine maintenance for the next 60,000.

I have a 2000 Chevy S10 as my backup vehicle in case I need to put my Toyota in the shop.

I would not buy a car during the obama regime. I did buy an escalade during Trump. But it was used. I do not want EVER to have a car payment. I'd like to find a truck made in the 70's.

Meh, I have two older than that but we keep ours garaged and properly maintained. We're both retired so they don't see that many miles so they should last a good long while.

I saw the weirdest S10 for sale the other day....A 2004 S10 4X4 crew cab....It was so homely I was almost tempted. Had it been white like this one I might have bit but it was a ugly-ass dark royal blue.

The oldest vehicle I've had was 18 when I unloaded it last year. A 2003 Ford Ranger; still running well, though missing a few parts here and there.

1982 Toyota 3/4 ton pickup. Rebuilt the engine last fall. Looks ugly as I haven't restored the body yet, but I love it.

Those trucks are indestructible.

My oldest roadworthy vehicle is a 1953 Ford F650 dump truck.
