My car I plan to keep as long as possible. Taking good care of it I think I can (accidents and other complications aside). Maybe my kid will be driving it in 15 years?
My girlfriend's car, she loves. She wants to keep as long as possible too. Her's guzzles more gas than mine. If I could convince her to drop that thing and get a Mini that would be the next car we purchase. Until then, we're fine with what we have. If nothing else I might get a new (to me) motorcycle, but in the meantime I'm planning to fix mine up even though it will do absolutely nothing for resale value. It still runs great and there is no reason for me to upgrade (if anything I need to buy more protective gear).
