This is shocking to me. Are you in the US? I'm pretty sure it's more like 10 years here in the UK.

Pretty much the only people who own cars for just 3 years are those who are leasing.

The average car on the road is over 11 years old in the US and average length of ownership for new cars is over 6 years. [1]

Really? I live in the UK. I and most of my family changes their car around every 3-5 years.

I'm about to chop my current car in after 2.
