kasim Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 I have seen many different people here in dubai and uae changing car every year and some sticking to their car for long time. Where as Im an average person who keep the car for 3-5 years. I am curious to know how long you guys keep your car. Please vote and see the realistic results among car enthusiast's in UAE. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adil Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 I usually keep car for 2-3 years - 90% of the time, and 3-4 years - 10% of the time if car is too good and Im facing difficulty in buying my next car. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattd Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 My average is 3 years + - few months. Btw, it's a good question with a poll to gauge general consensus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaurav Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 I think I am the only one to vote for 1-2 years here, lol.I change car every year, if car is too good then max 2 years. Let's root for each other & watch each other grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockytan Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 Well here when cars, fuel, reg, insurance are so cheap to own unlike other expensive countries I don't think anyone want to stick to 10 years with single ride. I drive two cars: my daily commute I change in 1-2 years and weekend offroad ride 4-5 years tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babaei Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 (edited) Well, I keep my car as long as it's under warranty. As I drive a German car, I'm just too scared to keep it beyond that. I actually buy extended warranties, but still only manage to keep the car for 3-4 years. Edited October 8, 2015 by Babaei 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmyjt Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 This is indeed a question that I keep asking myself when I see a new ride that I want to get, but keep putting it off due to the following reasons and hence I have had both my cars for almost 6 years now. I am curious to know people's view on this.One is a Pajero and the other is an S class. The S class had extended warranty until last year..Both have run approx 85,000 kms in 6 years. I dont drive long distances for my daily commute so the Merc is my car of choice. I only use the Pajero if i have to carry around a lot of stuff and people!If i were to try and sell either car, I would get miserable resale values and that kills me after having spent so much money to buy it and so I figure I can keep both of them as long as it doesnt come up with major repairs and so far, neither of the cars have had expensive repairs.So what does everyone think?Keep the cars for as long as possible? I mean arent S class's meant to keep on going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 I think many here do the smart move of keeping the car under warranty and upgrade to new ones once warranty finishes. I can see the overall poll has settle for 3-4 years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doornextboy Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 The maintenance cost is uncertain after the vehicle's warranty and that's what scares me. So, 3-4 years is my safe choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
