How long do you plan to keep your FRS/86/BRZ
 
Hello guys!

Just wondering how long you all plan to keep your FRS/BRZ/86. Has anyone ever gotten bored of this car?

My FRS has been such a joy (sometimes a pain) for these last 3 years and 65k miles. I don't see myself ever selling it. After all that, the driving experience still puts a smile on my face every day! :happyanim::happyanim::happyanim:

What about everyone else?

When I bought mine 6 years ago, I planned on keeping it at least 100,000 miles. I am at 74,700 now.

I see. How do you feel now? Keeping it still?

This is my first new car.

I'll keep mine as long as I can still get in and out of it …. or it spins a bearing … whichever occurs first.


:D

I love my car. I plan on keeping it at least till 100K. I also bought my truck new in 2005, and it has 197,000 now.

No plans to ever sell it. I enjoy it way too much, and there isn't likely to ever be a car like it made again that can replace it for me.

I typically keep cars for 250k miles. I would keep my FRS that long if it wasn't for the fact that it spun a bearing. I'm not sure if I want to keep it for a long time now or just keep it for a few years and then dump it.

Or maybe do a K swap and keep it forever.

Do not plan on getting rid of the car... ever. But, I've said that before about things.

+1 hahaha same! Even when it's decade's old I plan to drive it occasionally :party0030:

I still have the last new car I bought on June 1, 2000. So 18 years is not out of the question. We'll just see how it goes.

I had planned to trade up to a 2017 this summer. But since I'm moving closer to work (from 40 minutes to 8), it doesn't make sense to make that switch right now.

Also, I don't necessarily want to take on another 66 month loan.

If I decide to do some mods (wheels, suspension, and a few appearance goodies) I'll probably end up keeping it until some catastrophic mechanical failure takes it from me.
