“If you find something you like, you tend to stay with it”…that old adage certainly has applicability to motor vehicles. If you’ve developed a fondness for a certain make/model, you’ll likely buy another…and another…and another. So, today’s QOTD is; have you purchased the same make and model vehicle multiple times over the years? If so, how many in total have you owned?
Couple rules of engagement; 1) it should be the same brand/make and model (i.e., a Ford Escort, not just a Ford), 2) different trim or grades within specific models are allowed, and 3) it should be personally owned – not a fleet or business vehicle.
I know this question tends to favor older drivers who have had longer driving careers, but we’d like to hear from everyone – so, if you’re in your early twenties and have had two Civics, we’d like to hear about it. More importantly, tell us why you decided to buy another one…
To help illustrate and as an example, here’s mine;
Though I’d like to tell you I’ve owned six Corvettes, or five 911s, our family is currently on our fourth Toyota Previa/Estima van. All have been used (not new) – a 1990 US model, and three JDM versions; a 1992, a 1999, and our current 2007.
Why’d we keep buying them? Reliability – each one we’ve owned has been absolutely trouble-free – the 1999 model we owned for 10 years. I also have to admit I find the design attractive – especially the 2006 and up model.
So, what have been your multiple-owned curbside classics and why’d you keep buying them?
Three Ford Galaxies (1962, 1963, 1963).
Three Ford Crown Victorias (1986, 1992, 2001)
I love my big Fords.
A 1981 Renault 5, a Renault 4 (model year forgotten), and two 1987 Renault GTAs, both at once.
74 Toyota Chinook camper , 88 Toyota pickup , 96 Toyota Tercel , 84 Toyota Sunrader motorhome, 2014 Toyota Yaris.
Four Nissan Maximas over three different bodies…
’91 GXE
’97 GXE
’95 GLE (my mother gave me a good deal)
’87 GXE wagon (current and most recent)
Also currently, two 4.9L Cadillacs…
’92 Fleetwood
’91 STS
I’d really love a ’92 STS…or a ’92 or ’93 Deville Touring Sedan.
06 ford focus zx5
07 focus ses
08 focus ses
09 focus se
We bought the 06 for my oldest daughter and liked it so we bought the 08 then the 07 for our youngest daughter then the 09
The 06 zx5 was totaled last May when a driver made a u turn without looking .that car was replaced Wilt a 08 taurus
My family seems to have a lot of loyalty particularly to make and somewhat model:
Me:
2 Toyotas
’99 4Runner
’14 Camry (both kept less than a year, probably won’t try a Toyota again)
2 Fords
’07 Focus
’07 Escape.
Parents:
2 Audis:
circa ’76 Audi Fox
’85 Audi 4000
2 Plymouth Grand Voyagers
’88 Plymouth Grand Voyager
94′ Plymouth Grand Voyager
4 Tahoe/Yukons:
’97 Tahoe LT,
’99 Tahoe LT,
’04 Yukon Denali
’12 Tahoe Z71
3 Toyota/Lexus:
’02 Lexus RX300
’03 Toyota Camry
’08 Toyota Prius
My brother is attracted to quirky or cars with unreliable reputations:
’99 Saab 9-3 Convertible,
’08 Land Rover LR3,
’13 Volvo XC70 T6.
Immediate Family:
3 BMWs
’14 X5-Sister-In-Law
’15 X3 Diesel-Mother
’15 320i-Me
Grandfather (When Alive):
78 Impala
87 Caprice Classic
Nissan/Datsun
Three consecutive 510s beginning in 1985.
69 510 wagon
69 510 2 door sedan
71 510 wagon
At least a half dozen or more parts cars either purchased and stripped or came with/already stripped or made a flat rate deal to strip in a scrapyard.
Three 710s
2 1974 710s. Both 2dr coupe models with no b pillar. One complete runner and one badly corroded for parts.
75 710 2door sedan. With a b pillar. This one came with a huge warehouse of parts.
Three hardbody trucks.
88 KingCab 4cyl rwd.
93 KingCab 6cyl rwd. First and only new vehicle purchase. Paid cash.
94 KingCab 6cyl 4×4.
Honda
77 Civic, 78 civic and one or two parts cars. Went through 2 bodys and 4 engines before calling it quits. Never owned another Honda again because 510 ownership overlapped and rwd trumps fwd in my book.
I inherited a 93 Civic, the death car, from a family member who unfortunately died of injuries that resulted from a collision in that particular car. I used the insurance payout to purchase the previously mentioned 93 KingCab.
Ford
74 Mustang II v6 auto. Given to me as a project/fixer upper. Bought a parts car to go with it that was a v6 4spd. The 69 510 longroof was already road worthy so it got the body and paint treatment while the Rustang IIs got parted out then scrapped.
Thats it for the multiples now to break the rules a little with the singles in no particular order including:
VW: 74 Superbeetle, 80 Rabbit diesel.
Hyundai: 84 Pony, 04 Accent
Nissan\Datsun 78 200sx 5spd bought for a project but stole the drivetrain for a 510, 06 Sentra
Ford/Mercury: 94 Cougar V6 auto.
Toyota: 72 Corolla 2dr longroof Toyoglide. 89 Corolla 4dr sedan.
Mitubishi\Dodge: 81 Colt. A notch was cut in the dash every time the odometer rolled around. 480K km. I bought it with 440K on it but later scrapped it because it was just gawdaufull boring to drive. It got hit by a deer in one of those rare deer hits car incidents and not the other way around.
There’s probably more.
The one’s I currently own are the 71 510 longroof, The 06 Sentra and a 67 Datsun roadster project along with 2 completely stripped parts cars in totes and on shelves in the basement.
I’ve only owned one car, so I’ll throw in some of my parents’ pairings as well (mostly Fords):
1980 and 2007 Corollas
1997 and 2000 Ford Windstar
2000 Focus wagon (lemon) and my 2012 Focus SFE. The fact that I even set foot on a Ford lot after the memories of my father’s 00 Focus, let alone bought one new, is a real testament to their current quality (yes, the 00 was that bad).
2009 and 2014 Escape.
Four Plymouth and Chrysler Valiants ’64, ’61, ’65, ’63; five Dodge Darts ’65, ’64, ’71, ’64, ’73; one Dodge Lancer ’62 (still got ’til I can find its next loving home), counts as nine Chrysler A-bodies. Not ten, because one of the Valiants enumerated above is also enumerated as a Dart for reasons to be explained in a forthcoming COAL.
Four Dodge Spirits ’91, ’92, ’92, ’91 and an identical-except-trim Chrysler LeBaron sedan ’92, running the gamut from plain to R/T. More COAL material.
Two Volvo 245 Turbos ’85.
My dad is on his 3rd Legacy having bought a 93 in the late 1990s and he is now on his 2nd 96 which is also rusting to death. My family has owned at least 9 Saab 900s over the past 35 years.
Previas are quite common in Portland, OR.
1974 Pontiac Catalina coupe
1974 Pontiac Grand Ville conv.
1986 Mercury Grand Marquis GS
1989 Ford Crown Victoria LX
1990 Mercury Grand Marquis LS
1991 Mercury Grand Marquis LS
2003 Mercury Grand Marquis LSE
2008 Ford Crown Victoria S P70
Cadillac Sedan deVilles: Two different 63’s, and 75, 76 and 77. Add Fleetwoods: 74, 76, 80 and 89 (the 89 was FWD, full disclosure). They’re Cadillacs, what’s not to like
Volkswagens:
64 Bus (yes, before they became hippie vans)
71 Super Beetle owned by Mrs. Tom when I met her
77 Rabbit
Chevrolet:
86 and 90 Cavaliers (don’t laugh, Mrs. Tom liked them)
Ford:
90 and 97 Rangers
70 F100 (stretching a bit, but all trucks…)
5 Mazda RX-2s
2 VW Dashers (and 1 Audi Fox, same thing mostly)
2 MGBs (one was a GT)
2 A2 Jettas
Many multiples on marques, but this answers the question as stated.
2 well-used Honda Accords (1990 and 1991 – it didn’t hurt that the ’90 was FREE!)
Currently 2 Buicks, 02 Regal LS and ’03 LeSabre.
The latter 2 were purchased because they have the 3800 V6 under the hood, one of the best engines ever made.
The Regal came first, because my wife took it on its initial test drive and loved it.
Short list compared to some:
1976 Volvo 245
1982 Volvo 242 Turbo automatic
1984 Volvo 244 GL
1990 Volvo 244
1992 Camry Wagon 2.2 4-cyl.
1995 Camry Wagon 3.0 V-6
2006 Toyota Highlander
2015 Toyota Highlander
A penchant for vanilla vehicles, I guess.
Currently
3 – Ford Tauruses ’95, 98, 01

4 – Dodge 3\4 pickups
5- Valiant\Darts

Plus 10-15 other cars in 50 years of driving.
Of the other cars
1 – 1950 Chev PU
1 – 1962 Ford Fairlane
1 – 1969 Toyota Corolla
1 – 1974 Dodge Van
1 – 1972 Ford Galaxie

1 – 1992 Saturn
1 – 1988 Corsica
1 – 1986 Dodge Lancer
1 – 1951 Mercury Meteor
1 – 1965 Rambler Ambassador
I must of had a brain fart when I posted the other cars.
1 – 1961 not 1951 Mercury Comet not Meteor
1 – 1967 not 19767 Dodge Coronet
1 – 1972 LTD not Galaxie although all the big Fords are Galaxies to me. Guess my brain got imprinted with one of my best friend’s ’62 Galaxie with a 406.
And of my current cars I somehow forgot my 1990 Ford Tempo with 96,000 miles – less than 3,700 miles a year, not many 26 year old daily drivers with this low mileage.
Getting older sucks, but it beats the alternative. Seems like Mopars come in first with 18, Ford & GM tied for second with 7 each and AMC third with 4 among the cars I have owned along with 3 others.
Yeah guilty of this once you have good example of something I tend to repeat buy

1960, 1963, and 1969 VW Beetles. The 1960 was my first car – bought it from a buddy of my Dad’s for the grand sum of $250 in 1966. The 1969 was my first new car, during undergraduate college. The 1969 was not particularly well made or reliable and the dealership was less than helpful in resolving problems. As a result of that experience I never bought another VW product.
1981 Plymouth Champ (Colt)
1984 Plymouth Colt
1987 VW Jetta GLI
2000 VW Jetta GLS
First generation Honda Odysseys:

1998 EX (current, 112K)
Why?
Reliable
Comfortable enough
Fairly economical (mid 20s MPG)
Durable (often have 250k+)
Versatile
Yes! The original and best in my opinion. In the driveway there’s also a white ’96 with 563K miles on it awaiting an engine transplant that’s not pictured. It’d probably still be running had the P.O. not neglected the timing belt. That’s 563K on the original unrebuilt transmission. Amazing.
For some reason I always lust for an 1980s B/C body after going about a year without having one around. I love the styling and driving feel, they capture “classic American car” in a more modern, cheap package. Although besides my current one, which is a pristine “keeper”, they have all been sub-$1000 beaters with over 100k miles.
1985 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale Brougham LS (longest car name ever) – $800 – Clean body but high miles, sold, might still exist
1984 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham – $900 – Rusty, faded paint. Had Macco paint it 1950s pink as a joke, junked about a year later. People still ask me if I have this one.
1985 Chevrolet Caprice Estate – $700 – Total beater, but durable, junked last year at almost 170k miles
1990 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser – $2500 – Cream puff one-owner time capsule, only 61k miles, not driven in the winter. Could easily sell for a profit if I wanted, but I can’t imagine getting rid of it.
Some observations/issues with this platform:
– The exhaust system rusts out on EVERY ONE of them. They make a distinct loud flappy noise similar to a freight train. I notice it with other old B-bodies in traffic too.
– I think these cars came from the factory with the “Check Engine” light on. Most had the Olds 307, but even the Chevy with the 305 shared this issue. Didn’t affect how they ran.
– The Cadillac version has a vastly firmer and tighter body structure and way more sound insulation than any of the others. It rivaled modern cars for solidity and lack of rattles over rough roads.
– The station wagon versions rival 4WD SUVs for their ability to effortlessly plow through deep snow. The sedan versions are more front-heavy and fishtail way more easily, requiring much more gentle steering and braking
– Good luck finding one where the digital clock in the radio that works (even the pristine low mileage examples)
– None of these cars are very comfortable going faster than 70-75mph because of the extremely low output engines. You technically can and the suspension feels fine, but it feel like you’re ringing the life out of them. The OD transmission will kick down to a constant, droning 3rd gear around 81MPH with any sort of wind resistance or incline so they are a chore to drive in mountainous western states where the speed limit is 80. I always wonder how the ’77-’79 versions drive with the bigger engines, but they are harder to find now
– Nothing makes you appreciate fuel injection like trying to start one of these things on a 30-degree morning.
All Mopars for me, and some repeat buys:
–Jeeps:
2 CJ-7s
1 Scrambler
1 YJ Wrangler
1TJ Wrangler
Dodges:
’84 Dodge Power Ram (which my dad still has)
’05 Ram 1500
Chryslers:
1 PT Cruiser GT
1 Chrysler Sebring coupe
The only thing I wouldn’t repeat buy is the Sebring. Its not a ‘bad’ car, just not for me. As in I barely fit in it, 205 hp from a V6 is NOTHING like 215 hp from a turbo 4 and its Mitsubishi character comes thru much more than its Chrysler bones.
The YJ is a ‘maybe’ in that its kind of a tweener among Jeeps. Unlike the CJs and TJs it doesn’t seem to have much going for it that any of the classic Jeeps don’t.
2001.5 Honda Accord EX (new)
1997 Honda Accord SE (used)
2011 VW GTI (new)
2015 VW GTI (new)
The two GTIs are almost identically spec’d except the 2011 had plaid cloth (with heaters!) whereas the 2015 has (real) leather. I loved my 2011 GTI but the 2015 is turned up to 11.
Two Big Mitsubishis in twenty-seven years.
’89 Magna – bought new as a family car when I finished college. I specified the base 5 speed manual with the optional EFI engine and power steering. Great car, apart from clutch and gear linkage work needed at about 150,000. Lasted until 230,000 km when it started using way too much oil (typical big Mitsi fault) and the CV joints gave out. Traded for….
’00 Verada/Diamante – our current family car. No major work needed. Now at 335,000km and running like a top, having just brought us on a 4000 km road trip for our holidays, with another 3000km to get home.
So how do you get a Mitsi to last so long? Live in the country so the car has lots of long trips, and service it regularly.
Ah… country miles.
2005 Ford Escape when I was transferred to upstate New York. Was one of the few CUVs at the time to have all wheel drive and V6, which I bought it for the snow. Was very surprised how well it was put together and had few issues (front brake rotors would warp at 60-75K mile intervals).
Upon return to the south, sold the ’05 Escape (tin worm had come to the surface) for a 2012 Escape which was the last of the V6 before move to turbo I4 starting in 2013. The new Escape has 6 speed auto and VVT for more power, leather, etc. but its not as fun as the ’05.
Funny, but I do miss the snow!!!
1993 Lincoln Mark VIII and (still have) 1997 Lincoln Mark VIII.
These are great cars.
’93 Saab 9000 (142k-145k)
’99 Saab 9-3 (89k-129k)
’95 Subaru Outback Wagon (119k-162k)
’03 Subaru Outback Wagon (89k-150k)
’05 Subaru Outback Wagon (99k – present)
Same make/model, all hatchbacks, though Mazda has changed the nomenclature over the years —
85 Mazda GLC (323 outside North America)
89 Mazda 323
2016 Mazda 3
I’ve owned a total of over 30 automobiles since 1976 but as for repeats of make and model:
4 Jeeps; 2 XJ Cherokees and 2 MJ Comanche pickup trucks.
9 Mercedes-Benz with 3 pair being repeat models:
2-W111 sedans (both driveable, one being pristine at 37 years of age)
2-W124 (one sedan and one coupe*)
2-X204 (one the first year 2010 GLK 350 and the last acquired last February, a 2015 GLK 350)
The GLKs are the wife’s. She had a ML 350 previously and loved it but liked the GLKs even more. I bought the 2015 (dealer demo with “free” extended warranty) a little over 2 months ago since the 2010 was getting into the “high maintenance era” of its existence and I was so put off by the looks of the new GLC I didn’t even bother to drive one.
The older and new GLK are virtually the same exterior and interior color and appear virtually identical with some detail exceptions like the headlights and AC vents. We didn’t tell anyone we made the switch and only my 80 year old father (a true gear-head) noticed the difference when he sat in the front seat and got a good look at the dash board.
*the E320 coupe is my all-time favorite to date.
6 1966 Valiants – An aunt had one growing up for 12 years and every important trip i had as a kid was in that car.
3 Chrysler Cordobas- 2 1978’s and a 1979. just really,really liked them. if i had the money today for a decent one, i would still buy another one for a daily driver.
6 Chrysler Fifth Avenues- 1982-1988. reliable cars, not hard on gas, and just kept recycling the rusted out ones for parts.
3 Oldsmobile Delta 88s- all 1985s. bought the first one as a good deal at the right time, then just repeated the formula twice more.
Four Mustangs, three Maximas, two Corollas.
I’ve got a brace of Renault Nines – both 1983. Plus a 1986 Renault 5.
I’ll keep it short, after more than 100 posts:
2 VW Rabbits, 1975 and ’79.
2 Volvo 240s, 1980 242, 1980 245
4 Toyota Camrys, 1997, 2004, ’05, and ’15
The Volvos and Camrys for reliability and crashworthiness; the first Rabbit for innovation in a small car (but very unreliable), and the 2nd Rabbit in the mistaken belief that it would be better.
I have owned more than one Riviera, but not all sequentially:
1971, 1976, 1990 and 1995. Only the 1995 was new and I ordered it. The order went through the factory twice, I got the second one.
61 f100, 68 Mercury f100, 2 – 69 f100, 71 F100, 72 f100, 74 F 100, 80 f 150, 90 f150, 97 f150, 99 f150, 2002 f150. For whatever reason I have kept this last truck for almost 14 years and it is still going strong.
Cars have been all over the map but my Ford trucks have been good to me.
My first car when i was 16 was a 1994 Mercury Cougar XR7. When it was totaled by a drunk driver I loved the car so much I bought another one, same color but a 1993 model. Loved them both
Mercedes-Benz W123 300D 1984, old cab with 600000+ km.
Mercedes-Benz W123 230E 1983, still my daily driver with 225000 km.
I’ve owned some GM B/C -body fullsizers, and own an E-body.
1967 Buick Riviera, owned for 14 years, 188.000 miles, mostly all original
1977 Buick Riviera, was my daily driver for some years, a great car, Buick 350, lazy, but smoooooooth.
1979 Chevrolet Caprice classic sedan, 350 engine, a lot of options, daily driver.
1989 Chevrolet Caprice classic Brougham. 305 Tbi, daily driver.
1977 Cadillac Coupe DeVille. 260.000 miles, daily driver.
Of all these the greatest car was the 77 Riviera I think, all of them very reliable, as most BOF american cars are, but the 77 Riviera was very quiet, smooth and comfortable. In fact I was a bit diassapointed with the 77 Coupe DeVille compared to the 77 Riviera, the Riviera had a more comfortable ride, was quieter and used less gas. The Caillac was way more powerfull with it’s 425.
1982 Honda Accord Hatchback 5 speed Lindsey Blue Metallic traded for:
1987 Honda Prelude 5 speed Polar White traded for:
1994 Honda Prelude Si 5 speed Milano Red totalled and traded for:
2001 Honda Accord EX-L V6 Automatic Coupe Taffeta White traded for :
2013 Honda Accord EX 6MT Coupe Crystal Black Pearl
Loved them all except the 2001. Fantastic engine, world’s worst transmission. Can’t help but think how infinitely better it would have been with a manual.
I’ve owned only Hondas, each one brand new, and can’t imagine buying another brand. Consistently reliable and durable.
I’ve been the Ford version of the Sloan Ladder of Success since 2002:
2001 Ford Focus ZX3
2006 Ford Fusion S (5-speed manual)
2009 Ford Fusion SE AWD
2012 Lincoln MKZ AWD
I had ’87 and ’93 Cadillac Brougham/Fleetwood Broughams. What the ’93 gained in driveability, power, gas mileage, and lack of vaccuum lines, it lost in interior quality, character, looks, electrical gremlins, and head-turning ability.
My parents had ’84 and ’91 Honda Civics. And my father had/has ’00 and ’04 Toyota Tacoma small pickups.
Of the dozen cars I’ve owned in my 39 years, three have been F-150s:
1992 F-150 Custom
1992 F-150 XLT
1999 F-150 XLT Sport
Most have been Fords, over half of the total:
1968 Galaxie
1992 F-150 Custom
1992 F150 XLT
1998 Escort
1993 Taurus
1999 F-150 XLT
1993 Mazda MX-6 LS (counted as half, rebodied Probe)
These are likely going o be my last as I don’t like current Ford’s direction…
I would agree with that. As a longtime Lincoln owner, I won’t like that they downsized the Lincoln and there is no frame, no v8 to style, no class. The Ford cars are all mostly Volvo platforms and the engines are expensive failure prone Turbos
Of the ones that I can remember:
Subaru: 3 Brats (1986, 1985, 1986)
Jeep: 3 Cherokees (2001, 2000, 1994)
Citroën: 2 Meharis (1982 4×4, 1969 US model); there’s also a 2CV I’ll mention for the purposes of branching out the family tree
Renault: 2 LeCars (1977 & 1979); 2 R5s (1986 TL & 1988 (IIRC) GT Turbo)
Peugeot: 3 205s (all XRAD vans); 3 505s (1985, 1987, 1988); 4 405s (1989 diesel; 1989 DL (US model); 1989 & 1991 Mi16s (also US models)
Fiat: 2 Pandas (4×4 from 1987 or so and a 1983-ish 45)
That just covers similar models, though. If same-make vehicles are included, the list is a bit longer.
Two Imprezas (1998 wagon, 2014 XV), and two Volvo wagons (1983 240T, 1997 V90)… but where I really have this problem is bikes. 3 separate Vespas, and 6 total Suzuki modern twins (all the same basic platform)

Between my dad my brother and myself we went through 7 V4 SAABs
When my wife and I met and married we were both driving Honda Accords. We will probably never own another Honda as we freely exchange cars and Honda seats kill my back.
For what it’s worth tractor wise I’ve also own(ed) IH cub cadets 2-129, 2-1250, 2-1450. Still own 4 of them, but 1 is going up for sale as soon as I get all the snow removal equipment and tires off it and set it up for mowing.
