This article [1] was the top google result when I searched "average car ownership length". It reports 79.3 months is the average length that Americans own a vehicle, so a little more than 6 and 1/2 years. Paying more for a vehicle makes sense if you own it longer (or otherwise get more value out of it). I think the problem is that people both buy $5 coffee/day AND buy large, expensive to own and maintain vehicles AND replace those vehicles too often.
