How often do you/your parents get a new car?

My mom gets a car roughly every year now, some times more. She does A LOT of driving, so she puts a lot of miles on her cars, usually when the odometer hits 150,000 miles.

I want to keep my Accord untill it gets to 150,000 or 200,000 miles, unless it gives me problems before then.

We switch out the company cars before 100,000 miles because they are worth more. Or when we've reached our lease limit.

We also only buy used cars/salvage cars for our personal cars, because they are cheaper, and there isn't anything wrong with them once they are fixed.

My dad buys a car every 3 or 4 years, as they are normally performance cars. My mum on the other hand buys a new car maybe every month or two. As my dad finds deals on cars, buys them then makes my mum drive it. He then sticks it on eBay for more than he bought it. She's had her current car for about 3 months, which is a record.

my mom has had her range rover for about 6 months and it has almost 80k miles on it and when she bought it had 35k miles. We have a good salvage yard where we get all of our luxury cars for deep discounts.

They don't, the car we have now was given to us by my dads mom when his dad passed away, and that's the first car we've had in years and it's an old used one, but it works.

But, hopefully when this one dies we'll get a new one.

i would have thought it was quite simple.

simply remove your bank statement(s) from wherever you may keep them, remove your digital camera, ensuring it's charged, and switch it on. next, point your viewfinder at the statement you have carefully laid out and press the shutter key to capture an image.

after you have done that, connect one end of the USB cable to your digital camera and the other end to the pc. transfer the images however your camera wishes. Then, once uploaded, visit a popular image host, and browse for your image. copy the upload link and post the image.
