How quickly do you turn over vehicles?

[ZA-289]

I think there may be something wrong with me. I cant seem to keep a car for more than 6-12 months before I'm bored with it and find myself looking for something else!

I used to really enjoy having a new car every few months, (sometimes 2-3 cars at a time) but now even though I still find myself looking for a new car I'm getting sick of it, its like im fighting myself all the time, its very exhausting!

Can you help me!

[OLDFORDNUT]

ni i cant help,im afflicted with the same disease,
lol

[nstg8a]

yup, im the same, 6-12 months is my normal limit. and normally own more than one at a time.
right now i have my ef, and two xf's here in brisbane, and my xf ute back home.

missus got grumpy when i stopped on the way home from picking up the ef to have a look at a ute for sale on the side of the road lol.

I've got 2 cars, my ED that i've had for 5 years, and my El i've had for 2, can't see a reason to sell them lol

[sneaky]

sounds like you need a bigger mortgage so you can't afford new cars, or maybe a wife and kids. these 3 things combined stops me from car shopping

[OLDFORDNUT]

my latest toy and i have a banana back tray truck and a VX commodore ive just repaired, and my EL on gas my daughter seems to have again,hope she pays the rego this time

[ZA-289]

Oh thats cool!

I have a Fiance and 1 Year old baby, but my morgage is tiny and I have a decent amout of disposable income, yes I have though of lashing out on some home reno's or something just so i dont have the cash to spend. but I like having cash handy for a rainy day. It helps me sleep at night knowing I can pay the morgagte for several months even if I loose my job etc..

I've had 3 cars in 3 years, Territory & 2 FG Falcons, hopefully I'll hold on to the current one for more than a year! New 5.0L V8 might make that a bit hard though.

[Jim Goose]

On average every 5yrs.... for my daily driver.
Had my XB for 15yrs now.

[LUXO_8]

had my NC since 02...wont be going anywhere...
just got my EF and dont see it going anywhere for a while.
just enjoying life debt free for a while, but will have to think of buying a house in the next couple of years...... might buy something new on the mortguage

[MAGPIE]

Have had 11 cars in the last 14 years... yeah I have a problem

The worrying aspect is that in that time I held onto a EL XR6 for 5 years because I couldn't bring myself to own an AU

[sagt]

The only reason I stop buying cars is that I run out of room in the shed. Two years is the most I ever had a daily driver. Project cars last a bit longer I take photo's then it's on to the next one.

[pauljh74]

I'll have to buck the trend - 2 cars in 16 years - planning to keep the current car I've had for 10 years for another couple of years or when finances allow.

[Kryton]

I dont think there is a car in this world that i wouldnt be bored of after 6 months.
Im just one of those that will never be happy with what i have.

[trippytaka]

I'm jealous. Seriously. I wish I had the coin to switch and change... :(

I used to be like this for a few years, different car every 6 months, was very expensive.

My brother was worse, he brought/sold 12 in one year & if he sold any more he'd have to get a Used Dealers License lol.

[Joe5619]

some of you guys have wwwwwwaaaayyyyyy to much money!!

Every 5-8 years for me..

[JC]

24 years of driving and i think I'm on car#22. But that includes the missus cars too, and we've been together 20 years. Still, If I have a car fo 2 years, I'm doing well.

[Bobman]

Love the Pontiac, but not the Kingswood hub caps, lol.

I have the same problem with cars. Usually get a new one every 2 years but always looking for cars on eBay and Carsales.

[DJM83]

not when you consider the fact i dont own my own house and have had 5 HK Monaro's including one Bathurst 327 4 speed big tank ,could have brought two houses if id kept them, then their is the 2 genuine XY GS sedans in very good condition and the genuine XA GT sedan that went up 4 times its value within 6 months of selling it a few years ago,
bloody addiction for sure.
P,S, i have started looking for a set of baby moon caps for the Pontiac

Had my licence for 22 years. In that time I've owned 5 cars.

Ford Laser (KE) - 13-14 years
Ford Laser (KJ) - 6 years
Holden Gemini - 2 years
Ford Futura (AU) - 8 years and still going
Ford SR (AU) - 5 Years and still going

In all fairness though, the Gemini was my wife's before we got married.

So really I've only bought 4 cars in 22 years! Every car I've bought has been a Ford.

I'm almost 23 and am on cars 5&6 but a few of the others I've had where given to me as inheritance and didn't really need those, so sold them on, I'm very happy with my EL and my GU Patrol and don't think ill be buying another car for a long while
