when to trade in the old car?

[devil4u2c]

Okay so here is the deal, I purchased a 08 civic with 43,000 miles on it about 2 months ago, now it has around 52,000 miles on it. I bought the car because I now work 90 miles from home, and I needed something good on gas, so the question is how often would you trade in your car under the same circumstances? I mean I will put around a thousand miles a week on the car so it will be over 100,000 miles this time next year. Any in put would be appreciated

When shit starts breaking and it cost just as much as a used/new car.

keep it until it dies, then when you pay it off get nicer car for short distances

I say drive it in the ground. As long as the body, interior and engine is still good on it, even with higher miles on them hondas always seem to get a good trade in value.

Drive it until the wheels fall off.

About every 60,000 miles, We trade out cars, or every 2-3 years. But we take care of our stuff, So when someone gets our old vehicle they get a decent vehicle.
