I would probably switch every 6-7 years if I was in a financial position to do so. For a while I was not, plus I really despise car payments. I paid $15K cash for the one I drive now.
lol I use to change every 4000 miles for my demo.. that gets old.. I honestly could not remember what damn car I was driiving due to the fact I was in and out of one every 6 to 8 weeks lolol
1993 grand am 1 year (first car)
1998 Chevy blazer 1 year
2001 Camaro 1 year
2002 Eclipse 2 years
2002 Ford Lightning 2.5 years
2002 Dodge Ram 1 year
2002 Z28 Camaro 1.5 years
2008 Chevy Duramax (bought in Feb.)
I had a new 1999 Chevy then traded for a 2003 but this one I think I want to keep it till it really dies a slow death. We actually have 2 Chevy's from 2003. One with a Japanese motor and the other the GM 4.3L
We dont want any more car payments...that $1000.00 is better off in the kids RESP
