Average Age of American Cars is Now 10.8 Years

This surprised me. But after calculating the average age of my fleet (94, 98, 01, 09), I guess I am about average.

The average age of my parent's fleet (84, 86, 96) is 23.3 years. They have not bought a new vehicle since the purchase of their 1984 Chevy Silverado pickup!

For my fleet, 1963, 1994, 1997, 2000, 2000, 2002 = 19.3 years. If we count my 1948 Ferguson, the average is 25.7 years.

1957, 1992, 1993, 2000 = 26.5 years.

2002, 2002, 2007, 2007 = 7.5, but I'm working on it...

2003, 2010, 2011, 2012 = 3 years, but you knew that.

'03, '06, '07 = 6.66 years

1992 = 20 years.

Including all of my cars from the past year though 2004, 2000, 2006, 1992 = 11.5. Pretty close.

1967, 1994, 2002, & 2009 - 19 years

Unlike Titus & cone-cerned all my stuff can move under its own power. ::Banana::

'79 Accord, '85 RX7, '94 Miata, '00 F150 - 22.5 years old

But before the Miata my DDs were the '85 RX7 and an '84 BMW... the 7 was the summer car and the Bimmer was the winter car.

Wikipedia is down, what is a Ferguson?

1990, 2001, 2006 = 13. Not too far off.

I read that as the average American made car, so it's a zero for me. 2 Mazdas and a Honda, all foreign.

93,97,00 so 15 yr. average.

Oh, then I'm a 6. Call me a richer. w00t!

19.5, lol.

2000 (Dodge Truck) + 2003 (Wife's truck) + 2005 (s2000) = 9.33 years

(and all thankfully paid for!)

'97 (f150), '07 (mx-5), '09 (is250) = 7.6666666666666666666666666

'94, '07, '08 = 9 ave.

95 miata, 98 mustang, 99 expedition - 14.666
avg mileage 215

i am feeling the need for something a little newer to replace the expedition. the tranny has to go sometime on it at 290k

And, this Ferguson runs, it's the '63 Impala that doesn't run TODAY.
