This week saw the 40th anniversary of my ownership of my first Citroen.

    I have owned several for 10 years or so.
    1972 Plymouth Duster. Lived in a cookie cutter development at the time we sold it and friends and relatives had trouble finding our house.
    2003 Grand Caravan
    2013 Grand Cavavan. This one we still own and just passed the 10 year mark recently, so it is just barely the longest and we intend to keep it a while longer.

    I have owned a ton of cars, and never kept them for very long. The longest that I can remember was my 2005 Mustang GT Convertible. I bought it used in May of 2005 and traded it in on a New 2012 Mustang GT convertible in February of 2012

    Bought my 1985 Celica Convertible in 2012. I don't plan on selling it anytime soon.

    How long did you keep the second one?[/quote] 2 years. Loved the car, but my back could not handle the seats. I could not drive it for much more than 2 hours without my back hurting.

    i think about 12 yrs. the only reason i sold it was because it was breaking down. It was like losing a friend. Get the longevity out of your vehicles for max savings.

    I had a 2006 Toyota Corolla I sold to the finance officer at the Nissan Dealership when I bought a 2020 Nissan Rogue Sport SUV. 175,000 miles. Strange story behind selling it to the finance manage. It was starting to give me some problems. And, I was getting to be an older age senior. I wanted something to get in and out of.

    [quote]2006 Honda Element Ive owned since 2008 and 1953 Ford Customline which I bought in 1997 and used every summer[/quote] Nobody ever sells Honda Elements. When I worked as a service advisor at the Honda dealership, people would ask me why they quit making them. I told them that people that own them love them and keep them forever vs replacing them every few years. The sales gradually declined to the point that it was not worth it to update the chassis for newer crash requirements

    I bought a 1966 Mustang convertible in 1976. I still have it and drive it on a regular basis

    I know I know all the Elements I find for sale have very high mileage. Im going to look until I find one. Has to be low mileage and manual gearbox. Perfect time to launch a new one it finally gets to be in

    I have the same problem with VW Eos. It is a convertible with a metal roof.
    I bought a 2008 in 2001 and kept it over 9 years.
    They stopped making them in 2016.
    In early 2021, I bought a low mileage 2014, reducing age by 6 yeas and mileage by 85 k. Unfortunately, that will be the last one.

    I've never kept track. I've owned my current car for 15 years.

    [quote]Hydraulic suspension and disc brakes. Air-cooled flat 4. that must be a Citron GS (or GSA), because that's the only Citroen meeting the description.[/quote] Yes, it is a 1976 GS 1220 Club estate.

My son and a deer ran into each other. While the damage was only moderate, it doesn't tale much to total an 11 year old car.

    Have to say 8 years was the longest, most of the time we get rid of them in 5
