I realise there is a raft of reasons ranging from needs to wants. I'm more curious about wants i.e. there is nothing wrong with what you already have, but there is something else you think you'd rather have.
In my case and for the last couple of decades, I have adopted a buy new and keep for 8-10 years, then buy another. Rinse and repeat. I figured that with proper maintenance, most cars should offer trouble free motoring for a decade and its first 200,000 km. By then, there will be new tech, new safety systems and better efficiencies. Now, I'm not so sure.
How often do you change cars, and what's your rationale for doing so?
What do you drive now, and what are you contemplating next?
