They shared nothing, except the engine..period.


Get over the name issue already...

 

[EldoFan]

Shortest:
Had to be the poor, poor Mark VII.......

It's still sitting around, awaiting it's trip to that great 'garage in the sky'......but for all intensive purposes I drove it for about a month.....

Longest:
The Shaggin Wagon ('94 Plymouth Voyager--actually deserving of the nickname )

Have been driving it steady for 7yrs, since I turned 16. That will soon change though in a little bit once I score a new ride.

 

[XP300]

Shortest:

My first car a 1957 Ford ragtop with lots of problems not disclosed by the dealer when I bought it.

Longest:

1974 Corvette roadster - 22 years.

 

[HoosierRon]

Shortest: 1975 Corisca/Vega, which was totaled after 4 months.

Longest: 1993 Accord - daily driver for 9 years (167,000 miles)

 

[eurohazard]

Shortest: 1984 Buick Skylark V6........4 days

A dude was selling it for $50 because it had a rod knock. I talked him down to $25 because it needed wipers. (seriously!) I was going to use it as a "cheap" commuter car, but the rod knock was pretty bad. 4 days later I put a $100 sign on the window and sold it that night. $70 profit (after wiper replacement)

Longest: 1993 Toyota Camry I4.......6 years and counting!

I bought this car because I needed wheels that day (just got back from oversees). Paid $4,900 in 2002 and it had 120k miles. It hasn't been perfect, but it's been good considering the thrashing I give it regularly.
- Distributor @ 170k miles -- $150
- Struts/front rotors & pads @ 150k miles -- $400
- Driver's window regulator @ 130k miles -- $60

I've only owned 2 vehicles so far

1988 Chevy S10 - 8 years

2001 Chevy Silverado - 5 years and counting

 

[darndot]

The wife's 57 Chevy pickup been in the family since it was new.

The longest for me was my 91 Sonoma 173,000 miles and nine years.
The shortest is my caprice that I still own. That would be nine or ten months.

 

[paul8488]

Good idea for a thread!

Shortest: Guess the Fiero... while I still technically own it (it's till in a frienmds field), I really only had it about a month.

Liongest: Probably the Tempo... I had it around 4 years. Might catch up with the Daewoo... 2 and a half years so far!

Longest: 1989 Mercury Tracer, 7+ years over 183,000 miles (bought at 120,000)

[Ttple]

Shortest: 1972 Chevy Nova. It was a rust bucket when I bought it and pretty much fell apart.

Longest: My current car is an Olds Intrigue. I've had it over 5 years and it has 199,000 miles on it.

 

[nota]

1963 Morris Major Elite = one weekend (blew up the diff & resold monday am)

1965 Buick Riviera GS = almost 9 years & 90,000 miles (sad to sell)



Thats for private cars but I once owned a used car yard and did sell a few of those within 24 hours of my purchase

 

[Hitman1970]

Shortest: 1984 BMW 316 (SEP 98 -AUG 99) Bought this beater used and it failed to pass German inspection standards without some major work. We moved onto a Mercedes beater from there.

Longest: 1990 Mitsubishi Mirage: (JUN 91 - AUG 98) Bought this former rental in Killeen, TX and kept it for over seven years until I gave it to my brother before being stationed in Germany. It was a useful hatchback that served me well for a long time. Too plain of a vehicle for me to consider owning again now. It had manual windows and no cruise control.

 

[davidlane]

Peugeot 505STI, less than a month. My former wife totaled it one night while I was on a business trip.

Saab 9000 turbo, seven years if I recall correctly.

[FenwickHockey65]

Longest:

1989 GMC Safari SLT, 293,000 miles when sold in 2003, over 300,000 today and still truckin'!

Shortest:

Not too sure...but I think it was the Chevette. 1985 to 1990-something. It was still working when I was born since I remember riding in it a lot...but I remember that the engine blew out and it just sat in our driveway for a few years.
