I usually keep my cars for about 10 years. Plus the car is paid off and I like it a lot!!

 

I got mine on friday...
First time 2IS driver, i eFFin LOVE it.
Plan on keeping it as long as it keeps me

ps. dumpin it with H&R's, 35%f/15%r Tint, and LC wheels on thursday. Cant wait!

 

I'm seeing at least 7 more years on my '06. What a great car. What more could I need? Well, now that I ask that question, there is always something more I NEED!! I do have to keep it long enough to completely figure out the Nav system though.

 

i've had my baby for 2 years. i'd love to keep it forever but who knows, so many nice cars coming out left and right.

S5, 335d, Evora, Camaro, HS250H, etc etc

It's very tempting but, it's a money issue for me.

 

This question comes up in the car world from time to time and I've noticed a pattern with the answers. There seems to be two catagories.
1) Those who claim they'll "drive it til the wheels fall off." Then a new model comes out two years later and the plan is thrown away. My dad has said this for the last 20 years, yet ends up getting a new car every three years. There is something about being a consumer and sitting behind the wheel of a shiny new car with new car smell.... hard to resist.
2) Those who say, "I'm getting this $$$ vehicle next..." ...and it never happens. I am like this. I like to think with my eyes, rather than more practical. Human nature for a car lover.
Having said that, my next car will be a white Bentley. Errr, I mean I'd like to graduate to a GS. Then again, it would be nice to stop paying rent and actually own a place. See how this happens so easily?

 

until i can afford a better car

 

I purposely bought the IS for the long haul, hence why I got everything I wanted. I plan to keep it for at least 6+ years, with exceptions being significant issues or some really noteworthy sedan that may come down the line.

Otherwise, so far as cars go, it will simply serve as a dailiy driver, while I enjoy my other projects.

 

I usually keep my cars 6 to 8 years. I've had my 2IS for 3.5 years and am luv'n it so probably closer to the later

 

7+ years is the plan.

 

I plan on giving my 08 250 to my son when he turns 16 to drive to school and back. He turns 12 in September so this car is going no where

 

I want an is300 badly! I love that car.

 

31 more months. :-)

Only reason I wouldn't buy out the lease is b/c I must have ML in my next one... and black is a PITA to take care of for a daily. Love the car though. Might shoot for an "F".

 

plan on having mine long enough for my kids to be embarrassed when i take them to school or to the movies in it.... ill be the guy with the ancient car...

 

8-10 years

 

until a good deal on an ISF comes up lol
