I buy a car from new, keep it for 12 years and have 9 years of not having to pay any loan fees or anything else. Never understand why people change perfectly good cars just because they are a bit old, or have as many as 40,000 miles on the clock. My Golf, bought in 2006. 14 years old, 178,000 on the clock. I finished paying for it in 2009. Yes, it is starting to rattle, yes it has knocks and dents, but it gets me from a to b. Drove around Europe in it last August.
My work forces me to have a car no older than 5 years old but I really love my VW golf. It’s a solid car.
