How often do you change cars and why?

[Ssbcc]

I have had my current ride forr 6 years, and I've never felt the need to change cos it never gave problem. Sure it's an impreza from 2 generations ago but I must say the longer I drive it, the more attached I am to it. As a result, I have one of the oldest cars in my MSCP.

In contrast some of my friends and neighbours have had many changes through the years (the record is 5 cars in 6 years). I just wonder how they do it:

1. emotionally- surely you get attached to your ride
2. financially- how to afford 5 cars in 6 years, even if they are Japanese makes
3. logistically-change car every year quite siong, got to get new parking permit at HDB office...

 

For those brudders who are more experienced car changing, when do you decide to change? When got newer model? When old car konk out? When got extra cash?

 

Interested to hear your views.

current car, 3rd car, 4 and half yrs....itchy but push factor is really weak...

 

TS, your TS is a nice car...very stable ride...

[Ladykillerz]

for my case,

1st car: 2yrs in aussie

2nd car: 1yr

3rd car: 5mths

4th car: 3.5yrs

5th car: which is my current ride, about 1yr and running

 

if you would ask me, i think Throttle2 is right, it is more like itchy backside.

even now, i am quite tempted to change my ride.

but all thanks to high COE price tag, i ENDURED. =P

Overtrade lor. My friend 3 years ago overtrade his stream for a mb b180. Last month he overtrade again his mb to a bmw 320.

I am offically on my 2nd car (if exclude the one I have when working in U.K).

 

Change to my current one in about slightly more than 3 years. I expect to change my current one in maybe the same period, but I shall see lah.

Still love my car now, & add a bit of stuff every now & then to keep fresh & keep her in good condition.
