Average Age of Bob Member's Vehicles

[cheetah50]

Averages out to: 9 Years. One fairly recent (2022) and several much older.

 

[50yr Street Mech]

03' Toyota Solara , 06' Toyota Camry, 13' CRV. All with 4 bangers and automatics. Yeah, their old, but good.

 

[SeaJay]

2 vehicles, 8 years old and 3 years old

I think mine works out to 12. Which I think is the national average. Go figure - mediocre my whole life.

In the late 90s, there was a TV commercial for "1-800-SAFE-AUTO" insurance where a guy said, "My car is twelve years old! Does it look like I can afford car insurance?!??" (At the time, I had a 12-year-old Caprice and it seemed OLD).

Times have sure changed!

'96 - my daily
'98 - my pickup truck
'03 - girlfriend's spare car
'13 - girlfriend's daily

Love the efficiency, power, and safety of newer vehicles but can't stand the UI.

 

[Cujet]

2024 F150, exactly 1 year
2017 Jag F-Type S, 8+ years (and is still among the most fun cars I've ever owned, just a flat out blast to drive)
2003 Jag X-Type, nearly a century old
1971 Cessna Cardinal 54 years old
Avg 10.6 years. But the old jag needs to go.

 

[ATex7239]

2, 2, 10. Average 4.66 years old.

 

[RooflessVW]

My average went down after selling the Trooper.

With the Trooper: 18y.o. fleet average
Without: 12y.o. fleet average.

If you would have asked me when I first discovered BITOG in ~2003-‘04, I would have said ~15 years old. Today I can easily say, 2.5 years.

 

[CKN]

CKN must still be asleep; we haven't been mocked yet for driving beaters.

Not mocking. If I had to guess before opened this thread I would guess 20 years.

 

[earlyre]

I own 1 car.
MY2013 ( Build Date of Aug. 6, 2013) so just a bit over 12yrs old.

 

[Oldwolf]

11 yo Toyota Sienna
10 yo Toyota Prius V

Isn’t this where we have the obligatory BITOG discussion on whether we use average or median?

In this case the range is most interesting

Wide range. Narrow range.

Combine with age
