Is it wise to trade your car in every 1-3 years to always have a good running vehicle?

Question

Is this a good idea? Do people ever do this or is it weird?

What do you think? A waste of time?

Answer 1

First off Toyotas are no better than most American cars.  They have their apples too as in Tundra and Solara.

Recent market changes make it ill advised to trade every 1 or 2 years however a 3 year cycle is good if you put a good down payment every time you buy a new one.  If you do not put any money down then you need to wait til 4 to 5 years also the length of the finance term is important because if you go 72 months all the time it will not be as easy to trade in this cycle.  the best thing to do if you trade on this cycle is to go 60 months at the most.  

Answer 2

lots of people do it but i think its better to get a car with good reliabilty and hold out bout 5-6 yrs.

Answer 3

Stick with Toyota and you can drive them for 10+ years if you maintain it.
