How old are you, and what’s the oldest and newest cars you’ve owned in your life?

r/

I am 26, the oldest car I’ve owned was a 2005 Toyota Highlander (also probably my favorite for some reason), and the newest one is a 2019 Subaru Impreza (my current car). How about you?

    The oldest was from 1983 but that isn’t really an achievement in 1998

    In relative terms the oldest car I bought was 15 years at purchase and the youngest was three years. Generally though I tended to buy at seven to ten years old

    I’m approaching 40 (who’s still counting past 35?), I’ve owned one car that’s now approaching 20. I’m constantly stuck in the same traffic with more fancy cars & I can afford to buy a house now with the money saved up even though it’s somehow said that my generation won’t be able to do that no more.

    Right now I’m 38 with a 2010 vw golf. I want to get an Audi when she dies. Unfortunately it will likely outlive me and the human race since they apparently never die.

    30, ran a 1999 Nissan Maxima into the ground at 279K miles, inherited from my dad. Ran a 2007 Cadillac into the ground at 224K miles, inherited from my grandpa.

    Bought a 2025 Mazda, plan on running that into the ground. Both were exceptionally well taken care of, so hoping I can crack 300K with impeccable maintenance.

    How long are you going to wait to ask for the first and last street we lived on? Or maybe our mothers’ maiden names?

    Back in 2017 when i was 24 my grandmother gave me her 2004 Toyota Echo with about 75,000km on it. It was my first car and I was elated to get it. I drove the shit out of it, ended up more than doubling that odometer by the time i was done with it.

    In early 2021 when i was 28, i traded in that Toyota Echo for a 2017 Kia Soul EX with 21,500km on it.

    Currently 31, and still love my Kia Soul, just recently hit 100,000km on it.
