Cars That Keep Going and Going

Keeping vehicles for 15 years could save $20,000 over that time versus buying a new car every five years, according to Consumers Union (the organization behind _Consumer Reports_). Using a Honda Civic as an example, the organization factored in the purchase price, depreciation, taxes, fees, and insurance. It also most likely to make it to 200,000 miles. Honda, Toyota, and Lexus make all of the vehicles in the top ten.

In many cases, such buyers roll what they still owe into their new loan, thereby ensuring that they will stay in debt for approximately forever.
