I bought an '04 Corolla off the lot and still drive it to this day. It looks ugly as sin due to the various people who have insisted on running into my vehicle, but it still runs great. Literally the only things I've had to replace on that vehicle is the battery, some fuses, and the starter (and the starter going out was my fault) 2 months ago. I really don't understand why people feel the need to buy a new car every 4-5 years as they pay off the old. That money would be way more useful going to something else.

Yep. I've got a 2002 Corolla. One of the rear inside door handle is gone and it's just a wire, all the plastic hub caps are gone, the drivers side exterior handle is broken so I've gotta pull it in a special way for it to open. It burns oil so I need to top it up maybe once every two months or so It's got about 280k km on it and runs like a beaute. Bought it for $2k two years ago. Gas is still cheap, insurance is the cheapest I can get at my age group and I'll probably sell it for $1k in the future. If I bought new I'd be spending at least 10x more on price, 20% more on insurance as well.
