Americans Keeping Their Cars Longer

A recent study proved that americans are keeping their cars longer then in the past due to the quality improving and the uncertain economy we have been experencing. John Polk that released this study said that the average age of a car on the road in 2007 was 9.2 years old. Also in 2007 over 41% of the cars were 11+ years old. The average age for TRUCKS is 7.1 years old. He also stated that the sales of Mid 1990's trucks sales sky rocketed. The number 1 reason why everyone is holding on to their cars for a longer time is the uncertain economy.
