How long do you keep em?

How long do you keep your vehicles?

[MadFish]

I drive it until its dead or I decided to buy a new one.

[MountaineerTom]

I keep mine as long as I can.  I'd still have my '91 Silverado if it wasn't for a drunk driver.  I was planning on getting a new one in 2010  , when my son turns 16, and giving him my '91.  

[General Lee 01]

I obviously can't speak for myself, but I can tell you every vehicle mom has owned saw their last miles with her in the driver's seat.

I had my first truck for two years before I got my new Silverado (dad has the old one now).  Plan on keeping this one forever, even if I get a new vehicle later down the road, going to keep this one forever until it don't run and the body has rusted to nothing.

Daily driver, 3-5 years if I put a lot of miles on.  Otherwise, I keep 'em until I get tired of them.  Usually sell them before hitting 100k miles though.

Ummmm,   "no comment"!!!  LOL!!!

[SteveSierra]

Well I should make no comment as well but, here's the short list. :0

 

79 Monte Carlo - 2 years- wrecked by drunk driver

82 Z28 - 2 1/2 years

87 Z24 - 3 years

91 Camaro RS - 6 months(lemon lawed)

92 Camaro RS - 3 years

95 Z71- 3 years

98 Z28- 8 months

99 Tahoe - 2 years

01 Camaro SS - 3 months

01 Z71 - 4 months(should have been lemon lawed)

02 2500HD - 6 months and counting...

 

Averaging 1.4 years per car.  :0  :0  :0

I don't know.  I had my S-10 for three years, but for some reason I got the wild idea that I needed more room.  So I go the Blazer.  Before that I had planned on keeping the S-10 until it died.  After getting the Blazer I figured I would keep it until it died, but I've had so many more problems from it in 2 years than I ever had in three years with the S-10 that I don't know.  If it holds up I'll keep it as long as I can, but you never know.

[CMNTMXR81]

Usually 3-5 years or until I feel I want a new toy.  

 

I had delusions of Granduer that I'd probably keep the 2500HD until I put 100k on the odo, but I know GM will come out with a new and improved 496 and of course I'll have to be the first on my block to have it.  

 

I'm seriously contemplating selling the Aurora simply because I really don't need it anymore and the Tahoe is going back in three months as it's 5 year lease is up.

[GreenRado]

Generally drive them till they die - or need something else to better suit our needs.  Drove my poor '88 calais until the rear wheel shock mount rusted through, then retired her to spare parts.

 

Rado going back @ end of this year (4 year lease), and will order an '03 and hope to drive it till it dies.  If value holds OK, and I can make some bucks buying and reselling, may do that, rather than just turn in.

[pepper32]

I keep 'em until the ashtray is full, then trade for a new one.

[WEFs99]

My 99 regular cab will get replaced with a '03 extended cab as soon as they are out. Unless the '03's have cladding then I've got a problem.

[pacodiablo]

lately only a few months due to freaky financial situations and a bad transmission.  i had my first vehicle (86 f150) for about 7 years

 

i will be keeping my current truck for prolly at least a year, likely 2 or 3..it depends on what the 03 f-150 looks like

[Greg]

I usually intend to keep them for 5 or more years, but something always seems to come up and I end up getting something new in 2-3 years and 75-100K miles.  This last time it was GM's October incentives coupled with the availability of the AV.  Of course, waiting until January would have been a better deal.  Oh well, at least my son got the benefit of that round of incentives.
