We (my wife and I) always have around 10 good running cars and trucks. Works great for us. Always have plates on 5 or 6 at a time. One set of summer rigs and one set for winter (they get a lot of road salt and all are 4WD). We like having a mix of small high-fuel mileage cars, small 4WDs, diesel trucks for trailer towing, etc.
Is it expensive? Well, I've never had a car payment in my life. Also never had collision insurance in my life. Here in New York, motor vehicle inpspection is half price (or less) for older vehicles. Also parts are dirt-cheap. I suspect we spend a lot less, in total, to keep 5-6 on the road all the time, then others spend on one newer vehicle. But that only works if you do your own repairs and pre-buy most parts. I like having the choice of different rigs and also like the idea that if one needs repair, I just stick it in the shop and drive something else.
At the moment - we have on the road for the summer - a 1995 Geo 4WD Tracker, a 1999 Kia 4WD Sportage, a 1992 diesel Volkswagen Jetta, a 1992 Dodge extended-cab 4WD Cummins-diesel truck, a 1998 AWD Dodge Grand Caravan, and a 1986 Chevy turbo-diesel 4WD Blazer mini-motorhome.
700 miles from home up in northern Michigan we have a like-new 1994 F250 4WD ex-cab turbo-diesel truck in storage that we use most of the summer when we go there. When we leave NY, I pay $7 to swap plates from my Dodge to the Ford up in Michigan. Works out well.
