I should also add that I'll probably never buy a new car again.



Unless I win this $1.6B tomorrow

1980 Toyota Corolla SR-5 Liftback - bought it used from my sister with 80k miles (?), kept it about 5 years

1988 Ford Ranger XLT Supercab 2WD - bought new, kept it about 12 years

1987 Honda Accord LXi Hatchback - bought it used from my sister with about 60k miles, kept it about 4 years

2002 BMW 325i - bought new, still have it

2000 Honda Odyssey - bought CPO with 50k miles, drove it to the ground with 205k miles

1994 Chevrolet K1500 Silverado Sportside Z71 - my "beater' which I bought used with 150k miles, still have it after 10 years, only put about 3k miles a year because I only use it to tow my boat and on days with significant snowfall.

2016 Toyota Sienna SE - bought CPO with 25k miles, still have it

I've had 4 bikes in my lifetime, 2 I bought new, 2 used.

Matt you brought up an interesting topic, almost all of my used cars I kept for a short period of time (you could count the time in months not years) with the exception of the 997 ( 1 1/2 yrs) the 650i (don’t remember how long) and the R8 (almost 4 years).


No used car ever felt like it was truly *my* car except for the R8, I always felt I had to buy new to get that feeling.
