Oh, I didn’t think about having multiple cars. Are you a big car guy?
I’m in my early 40s, and I’ve owned two cars. I bought my current car after the last one got rear-ended.
Sidenote, I’m not counting cars that belonged to spouses or the car I drove in college – technically, that one belonged to my parents. If you add those in, I’m probably up to 6 or 7 cars.
Honestly, I can’t even imagine what it would be like having only owned two cars in my whole life.
Easy, just think back to when you were driving your second car ;)
What typically prompts you to buy a new car?
For me, it’s always been that I “need” a car for commuting, so I’ve looked for something reliable and efficient (I put “need” in quotes because technically, the bus routes in my city could have gotten me to work without a car. Turning a 20 minute drive into a 90 minute bus ride isn’t super palatable, though).
I bought my first car used and my second car new around the time Cash for Clunkers was affecting the used car market.
Yikes, do you get a new car every single year?
I’m more of a “buy something reliable and drive it 'til it breaks” type.
