In reply to the discussion: Where were your current cars or vehicles built? [View all]hunter
(40,506 posts)28. I bought a new car once when I was young and foolish. I won't ever do that again.
I attribute the mistake to testosterone poisoning. I did manage to pay it off and drive it fifteen years more.
The average age of our current family auto fleet, four drivers, three cars, is 23 years. Two cars are approaching 200,000 miles, and one is well over that but the odometer has been broken for a year. I may or may not fix it.
Our next car might be anything, but it will probably be used, a few years old, and have more than 50,000 miles on it.
I therefore have zero influence on the current new car market.
In my personal utopia there are no cars.
