What's the median age of vehicles in your household?

[JDgreen227]

This afternoon I was driving home from Flint in my 2004 Saturn, and it seemed that everyone who passed me was driving a newer vehicle than me, and because my other ride is a Y2K GMC, I thought my pair was old. Did a Google search and it told me the median age of US cars and trucks is 11.1 years, meaning my two average out to the 11 year old mark. How do your daily drivers compare to the reported median age? And for the sake of clarity please omit any special interest cars like a '56 Chevrolet or '68 Roadrunner UNLESS they are actually used for regular transportation.

My farm truck is a '91 F-150, and my hauling/work truck is an '03 F-250

1988 Ford E350 7.3 Maxivan, used occasionally for carrying loads if it's likely to rain, only about 100 miles/yr for the last few years
1993 Dodge Caravan, 4cyl stick shift - several K/yr (20 yrs old)
2002 Ford F350 used when I haul stuff - about 12K last year (11 yrs)
2004 Honda Civic Hybrid - SWMBO's - maybe 5 to 7K last year (9 yrs)
2009 VW Jetta TDI - about 20K last year (4 yrs)

So w/o the '88 the average is 11. I must be average.

Up until I retired in 2011 I lived 1.2 miles from work and was on travel 50% of the time. Thus, although the Dodge was my "daily go to work" vehicle I only put on about 500 miles/yr. Routinely used Stabil. Saved the TDI for trips.

I'm driving a 2003 Silverado - 10 yr old last month. My wife just got a new Hyundai this spring to replace her 10 year old Hyundhai. Rust is a killer up here- all of the salt.

I have a 90, 94 and 97 that don't get driven often and a 2005, 2008 and 2012 that get regular use. That puts our herd at 12 years but the regular use median is on 5 years.

'95 Kenworth
'97 F-250
'97 Toyota
'98 F-150
'03 F-350
'06 F-150 (son's truck)
'10 Honda Civic (daughter's car)
'11 Toyota Corolla (wife's car)

Considering the 2014's are already out, that makes my median age almost 12 years old.
And, for myself, I have no plans to buy a new one anytime soon.

My average is 16.5 if you count in my '77 Loadstar. Without that included the average drops down to 6.5.

2006 F-150 and a 2004 Subaru Outback...that comes to an 8 year average.
Might replace the Suby when the truck is paid off, otherwise no plans to buy a vehicle.
