keep it until the maintenance is more than oil and tires. These days, 10 years plus is easily doable.

rule # 3
no one cares what kind of car you have, as long as its safe when you are driving in some else's car.

Its always amazing to me what people pay and what people buy when dealing in future junk
New technology is worth paying for. My new vehicle will pull itself over if it detects that I’ve become unconscious, it will correct me if I swerve, and it will stop me both forward or backwards if I’m about to crash into an obstacle or person. Thankfully, I haven’t needed those features but nice piece of mind to know they are there. With a 6 year warranty, hoping it won’t be junk in that time frame, so no repair worries.
