Whatever that means. Basically I run a car until it starts having trouble beyond my threshold of pain.
The long runner was an '84 C900 bought new, drove it for 19 years, kept it for 20 years, 163K miles (age and rust finally got to it)
Previous:
'78 Scirocco: 8 yrs/148K miles (almost new)
'86 GTI: 10 yrs/147K miles (bought new)
'96 Ford Explorer: 8 yrs/136K miles(bought used w/ 25K miles)
Present stable:
'95 9000 CS bought in 2005 (for daughter's use) with 138K miles
'96 9000 CSE bought in 2003 at 90K miles
'03 9-5 wagon bought in 2006 at 40K miles
