How long should I keep my Volkswagen Passat?

I have a Volkswagen Passat and I've been driving it for 5 years now. It's been a reliable car, but I'm wondering how long I should keep it before considering trading it in for a new model. Any advice?

It really depends on your personal preference and how well you've maintained your Passat. If you've kept up with regular maintenance and it's still running smoothly, there's no reason to get rid of it. Some people keep their Passats for 10+ years!

If you're starting to experience frequent repairs or the car is starting to feel outdated, it may be time to start looking at newer models. However, don't feel pressured to get a new car just for the sake of it. Keep your Passat as long as it's serving you well.

I've had my Passat for 8 years now and it's still going strong. As long as you continue to take care of it, there's no reason to get a new one. Plus, it can save you a significant amount of money.
