10 Cars Owners Keep Forever
Here's an interesting article from Forbes this week. They highlight the top 10 vehicles where the owners are most likely to keep for 10 years or longer.
All of the cars on the list are from Japanese manufacturers, with Toyota holding the top 4 spots. The Toyota Highlander Hybrid comes in #1, with a whopping 32.1% of owners keeping the vehicle for a decade or longer. Check out the full list below, especially if you like to hold onto your vehicle a long time.
As always, I recommend using TrueCar No Haggle, RydeShopper and CarsDirect to see the lowest prices your local dealers are willing to offer.
