How long you guys typically keep your car before buying another one? Confused whether to trade my car and get a new one. My current car is 2011 Camry . Saving money vs new car...

The answer to that comes down to what you want from life? Do you want to save money for your future or are you one who enjoys a flashy lifestyle?
For me cars are for taking you from point a to point b. They have to be reliable but not necessarily brand new. Camry is a very reliable cars and can go on for 200 K miles easy. If I was you, I would keep the car for another 2-3 years at-least. Its much more important to save for a house/kids education/retirement etc. rather than wasting money on buying new car every so often. Also, leasing is a bad idea if you want to save money.
Thants my 2 cents. Rest, everyone has their opinion. Maybe you want enjoyment and thrill of new car? You have to decide.

I would say miles matter to resale the car, if you put 200 k miles on your car, then there is no resale value, better choose some AWD cars in market, which suits the NE weather condition and enjoy the ride, five years if you drove the new car then the miles you put on would be 50k to 60 k miles, you can resale it for better value, typically in US, don't keep the car for more then five years or 80 k miles, there is no value for cars and will loose your investment, it's my personal opinion.
