How long has your car been in your family?

For me it would be my 2003 Audi A6 Avant that I just sold last month, been in the family since new and it was definitely the best car I ever owned before the Marauder but I had to sell it because car ownership becomes progressively more and more expensive over here. Now are even introducing a toll system on the Autobahn which is based on displacement and emissions of the vehicle so it'll be super expensive for the Marauder again, as if taxes and insurance wasn't already expensive enough.
Gets to a point where I can't afford having 2 cars anymore so I'll probably have to sell my project car too if the government keeps stealing my money like that but they'll never bring me to sell the Marauder even if that means I'd have to live in a garden shack to be able to afford it soon. :depress:

The Marauder will celebrate its 15th birthday on June 26, 2017.

As far others, my Dad's 1991 Nissan Stanza holds the record which will turn 26 years old in August of this year. Good car.

Some very impressive stats here, but not surprising for a group of car people.

My stats are;
2003 Marauder - 15 years - bought new in 2002
1963 Marauder S-55 - 36 years - bought used in 1981


Still, none of these come close to 102 years and owned since new. WOW
 
My Dad bought my Marauder new in 2002. Now I have it. It has 205K miles and going strong. My dad is very impressed with the continued care I'm giving it. He was meticulous with keeping the service records up to date in the owner's manual. I've carried on the tradition.
 
This is a good thread, and there are some awesome stories here. Glad I'm not the only one. I've always wanted to get into buying and selling cars, but my wife says that I would go broke because I would never sell any.

First, because it is a Marauder forum,

03 Mercury Marauder Bought NEW in Jan 2004
89 Mustang LX 5.0 convertible Bought it in September 1994
46 Ford PU traded a Cimatti motorcycle to my uncle for it in 1974 when I was 12, later my uncle died and my aunt gave the bike back to me.
 
My Marauder takes the PRIZE.....picked it up 11-25-03 and she's still with me!!:beer:

Best car I've ever owned and she has 269K miles on her now!!:bows:
 
So sad da camry gotta go. If anyone intersted in northeast let me know. Remember 76000 og miles and V6. Eat off dat motor

I have owned my Marauder for 10 years and my Suburban for 14 years, Mustang for 7 years. looking for something new next year. probably keep everything just adding since my 2010 GTI will go to my son.
 
I have a '69 Corvette which I've owned for 30 years last month.

Other than that, an '86 5.0 SSP which I've owned for 16 years, and my '04 Marauder and '04 Mach1 which I've had for 13 years.

wow, nice list. Just like Joe walsh too. I feel for gdmjoe as my son would have no intrest in my cars either. In the end its just a car but boy I'd hate to give it up. My daughters say they will take my cars though.

70 442 W30 25 year
the MM and Suburban since new in 04 but none even close to 50 to a 100 years in the same family.
 
Dad bought his 1970 Triumph GT6+ used with 12K miles in 1972. 2017 it has 49K miles. :) I have had my Buick Grand National for 17 years which is unthinkable. I usually get bored with vehicles after a few years............... funny I have had my DBP Marauder for 5 years.
