I have a 1997 Toyota Corolla, 161,000 miles. I’m keeping it around, though when I am able to purchase another vehicle it certainly won’t be a new one. Maybe in the 2010-2015 year range.

Better off sticking with something older than the 2010-2015 year range. In fact I would spend the money to restore something before 1985.

But anything before 1970 will bring you a profit even after driving it for 20 years. This is what I have done most of my life. Pick up vehicles made before 1970 and put 10k-20k in them and then double my investment after I drive them for 10 years. I don’t lose money because of depreciation, I actually make money in the end because of the demand for classics.
