Enough will never be enough.
Once you’re able to prioritize what matters in your life – all of
those outside factors will only make you happier, but won’t affect you
as much when they let you down.
There’s nothing like knowing your happiness is based on yourself.
Keep growing, keep learning, keep following your dreams and passions,
and no outside factors will ever be able to take that happiness away
from you.

Complete list (AutoBlog.com)
Toyota Sequoia: 8.9 years
The Toyota Sequoia is one of two seven-passenger SUVs on this list of vehicles that owners keep the longest. “These vehicles tend to log high miles and take a beating. Parents who keep these cars longer probably aren’t ready to replace them until their kids get older and they know their new car won’t get destroyed,” Ly said.Porsche Boxster: 9.9 years
Falling into second place on the list of vehicles that owners keep the longest is the Porsche Boxster. Of all sportscars, the Boxster is the one that its buyers want to keep. It helps that the Boxster is instantly recognizable as a Porsche, and the cost of entry is pretty reasonable when compared to the likes of the iconic 911.Toyota Land Cruiser: 10.6 years
And now we come to the vehicle that owners keep longer than any other. We're not surprised. The Toyota Land Cruiser has earned a legendary reputation for long-serving durability. Check your local listings and you're not likely to see many Land Cruisers for sale with fewer than 200,000 miles on the clock.

That's Why They're An Expense & Never An Investment
Modern Cars Are A Nightmare That Will Soon Haunt Used Car Buyers Everywhere
As cars get stuffed with more and more technology, today's new cars are in danger of becoming all-but worthless as soon as a complex component fails, making the used car market a minefield
Is there something you’ve got your eye on? Something you’d like to poach from the classifieds when it gets old and cheap enough? Forget it, unless you’ve got big cash reserves. Things like the complex electrics in modern swivelling headlights or keyless entry systems, emissions-reduction systems, active driver aids and more will be ridiculously expensive to fix. Why bother at all? When the cars are a decade old, all this tech is just putting your wallet at ever greater risk of being violated.
One answer, of course, is to buy even older cars; simpler cars with simpler engines. Stuff from the early 2000s and pre-Millennium. Simpler usually means cheaper to fix. How does the saying go? The simplest solutions are often the best. When it comes to car makers, this nugget of old-fashioned wisdom has long since been forgotten. And used car buyers like us are the ones who’ll end up paying for it.
