Who's keeping their Camaro for the long run? - Page 8

I plan on keeping mine forever, I have a pair of Monte Carlo SS cars a 1971 I bought in 1982 and a 1983 I bought new in 83 that will stay forever too. The daily drivers come and go as needed.

Plan on keeping it a while. Its a driver, not a show car. Its not always clean, and I enjoy yhe Sh#t out of it.....

I tend to keep my vehicles for 8 to 10 years. By that time I'm usually ready for something new.

Plan on keeping mine for a long time. Had an 02 WS6 for a long time & immediately regretted selling it so I won’t make that mistake again!

Oh man! I'm jealous of you gents that have not been through so many cars! I my 20 years of driving, I've gone through at least 27 cars, and I've kept some up to 10 years. It's tiresome! Most of them were beaters. Also I've moved on average every two years since I was a little tike, very jealous of folks who have lived in the same house most of their life..

I bought mine used in Sept 2017 and I just paid it off. I plan on keeping it for a while.

Drizzt ss · 07-18-2019, 02:59 PM

Definitely keeping mine until the wheels fall off. Love this car and as soon as the warranty is over, I’m gonna make her even faster, can’t wait for headers!

ItsChristianInHD · 07-19-2019, 09:46 AM

Keeping mine till the wheels fall off. If I’m feeling froggy in 2022 or 2023 I’ll probably add a SS to the collection keeping the V6.. By then I better have a new job, new place, and a house.

I too plan on keeping mine for a very long time.
We tend to keep our vehicles a long time anyway, if for no other reason than we research them to the hilt before buying them so they are simply good matches for us.
However certain ones stick with us quite strongly and I feel that this will be one of them.

We have had my wife's truck for 25 years for example.
She loves her truck. It isn't going anywhere.
Our son is quite likely to inherit it someday.

rshelar · 07-20-2019, 01:19 PM

My son also inherited my truck four years ago but it’s time for it to go. I hate to see it go but nobody needs a truck any more. That 5.3 has been bulletproof. First year 2004 Silverado crew cab. Last time to Tahoe this week.

I plan to. It’s paid off. Just bought a new truck a few months ago. Next on the new vehicle list in the coming years will be my wife.

Not sure.

I have a convertible, and even with the extended warranty plan, it is not covered.

Have had so many issues thus far, I fear in year 3, 4, 6 it will be a huge headache.

So I have a love / hate with it.

craigss50 · 07-20-2019, 07:43 PM

Well I did plan on keeping it for the long haul before the C8 unavailing. Now I don't know.
