Wow, I was just looking at replacing my wife's 1998 Saab 9000 with 204,000 miles with a 2009 Saab with 95,000 miles, and I was thinking how new that car would be! My current newest car is a 2004.
Although when I first met my wife, back in 1987, her parents were both driving around in 1960s Volvos (a 120 sedan and a 120 wagon). Nowadays those are classics, but back then they were just old, so I don't get any crap from my FiL regarding the age of my cars.
