Ferrari Mailing List: LFC Car Replacement Years

[Paul Bennett (pbennett]

We have all developed soft rules for our car ownershop practice - what 
works best for our budget and needs.

Some buy new,  hold car about 3 years (lease), then sale/trade-in/move 
it to second car status
Some may buy a used 5 year car, hold another 5 years before disposing.
Some will  buy used at about 5 years, hold 10-20 or more years (forever).

Quick post, 3 numbers showing the 'soft rules' expressing the buy/sell 
years at recent car purchases.
Age at Purchase, Age at Separation,

1, 35
5,12

It would be interesting to see the variation in auto purchase habits and 
perhaps provide a suggestion for change.
It would also be interesting to note what event triggers the process, 
like my wife saying 'I don't trust this car anymore'.
