How old is your car?

mike65

In light of the recent thread which touched on post/pre 2000 cars I thought this was a worthy survey!

How old is your car?

Mike.

Hagar

1997

/edit did that poll just appear?


/Another edit What if you have 2 cars?

Guy:Incognito

I have a 97 and a 00.

I'll be going back to driving my 97 safrane in the next couple of weeks as I'm due taxback from last year and can now afford to tax the car.:)

I selected 10/11 in the poll.

It did Hagar!

1990.

Cars of similar age to mine are starting to become quite rare these days.

2000. I went from '94 to '96 to 2000. That means my next will be '08.

My old Volvo 740 is 1992, recently went over 200,000 which I am told is not totally uncommon with older Volvos. Running very well.

Oh yeah mines a 96

My car is 91. I find the attitude in Ireland towards the age of peoples cars hilarious. Many times, when people discuss their cars, the conversation will go like this
a - "What type of car is it?"
b - "Oh its an 06"
a- "Very nice"

Many people are embarrassed if their car is older than 00 now, what would the neighbours think, etc :rolleyes:

Nail on head there... Have commented on it many times! Used to get on my nerves until I realised that's why you can buy fantastic older cars in this country for silly money. The insiduous alfa smear campaign helps too

PS Driving a '98 - upgrade from a '00!

Mines 04.

gary the great

One of my mates is convinced it saves you money to get a brand new car every 2 years. Dont ask, ive already explained to him but he loves having a brand new car and hes happy.

Mine is a 96 mazda 323f, with lots of toys, great fun to drive and looks dam sexy.

Split the difference!

1991 Toyota Sera. Again with more gadgets than you get with cars of its size brand new! I'm certain it will be going just as well in another 16 years. Don't get much year snobbery as its a bit unique.

Does my Transit van count. . . .

06 btw...

junkyard

The newest I have is 2007 and the oldest I have is 1953.
