[Protege52003]

plus i own a new house and have a child on the way!

not much extra money........

happy holiday's everyone!

3 years is not old.

 

[mooS mooS]

We're planning on keeping ours for as long as possible, we love itthat much

Hell, I bought a new car as a daily driver just so that we don't rack up miles on our P5

This is an illness, I know (glare)

3 years is not old.

when everyone around you is getting new cars, 3 years seems old!

i guess t is not though.

 

[magnumP5]

Yeah, 3 years, not old. My truck is 20 years old now I believe (not incredibly old, but you get the point), but I see your point. I know a lot of people that get new cars after like 2-3 years, I guess we just hold onto 'em longer in my family

[RaiderMS3]

I got mine 3 years ago in October. Almost 40K on the odometer, and runs great. Gotta do an oil change this week, but nothing else really needed.

[bonesmp5]

2 years 4 months and 46k miles ---

this is the second longest I've owned a car

 

[aMaff]

HA HAAAA! Multiple entendre!!

 

[bazooka joe]

stick shift.

hahaha(naughty)

 

[iLisa]

I think it says something that 90 percent of 5 owners wanna keep 'em..

 

[paranoidxe]

LOL WOW, thats crazy if you think 3 years is old. Before I got my protege5 I had a 17 year-old corolla (88) and a 10 year-old talon (95).

I don't even consider the Talon that old really, I mean its still fairly modern in terms of technology (ABS, AWD, etc.). I guess everyone's opinion is different.

 

[sickpro5]

cars from the mid 90's and up age gracefully i think,especially if you take care of it. I got a 95' montecarlo that isnt old imo.

 

[i12drivemyMP5]

Hope mine lasts as long as my 1982 toyota truck - 400k so far. P5 still fresh @ 38k.........Neither going away.........

 

[khaosman]

I've owned my baby for just about a year now, and those ~14k have been great I hope to keep it a long, long time

 

[Protege52003]

what? there's a little ryan on the way, maybe??? you're going to be a dad?? on no!!!!

yeah, early june......

trouble! i am going to have to get a bigger car/SUV to carry all the stuff. The P5 and the Jetta are small!

Think the P5 will have to go (shrug) ; the Jetta has well under 10K still.
