How long do you plan to keep your FRS/86/BRZ - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I have had mine for almost 6 years and can't see myself getting rid of it, even when I pick up my next car. Plan to turn this into my first ever track car once I decide what my next daily is in a couple of years!

2015 Ultramarine frs, also here. Bought new. Now 56,000 miles.

I plan to keep it till I die. I'm 71yo now. So that could be soon.

Might get pissed at it if/when the TOB goes out. So far though, zero problems with this car. Most reliable car I've ever owned and I've had lots of cars.

>>>>>Might trade it for a newer model, if they make one which has more than 5hp more than my engine.<<<<< Can you hear me now Mr. Akio Toyoda ?

Might trade it for a BRZ if they eventually make the color >cool grey khaki< for the USA market.

Kinda really like the 50th Anniversary Edition in >Heritage Blue Pearl< as well.

Gotta be realistically sensible though. To change cars just for a better color than mine would be a stupid, very expensive move.

30+ years. I have it already 4 years and made in total 5.5k miles.

You're good for another 20+ years, so … the TOB will not last that long … so, save up ..

Reminds me of way back-in-the-day (HS/college years), when I had my old 1948 Chev. Since I painted cars for a part time income, whenever I got tired of the color of my car … I'd just repaint it …cheaper than trading cars...

Errr Forever,

To be honest I'm just too late to pull out.

I'm that dumb guy that spent too much getting STI mods while being not FI & without brembo..... (Ya I have every single item STI sells for the BRZ in Japan..... except brembo... >___> tS wannabe)

other then tS stuff....... exhaust parts along will push me over 4k... ............

I have the intention of driving the car into the ground. The reason I didn't hesitate on buying mine brand new was due to how reliable and simple the car is.

gravitylover · 07-12-2018, 05:22 PM

Since I owe more than the car is worth it would be kind of silly to get rid of it. As the mileage keeps piling up the value keeps dropping. As people keep doing dumb shit in parking lots and dinging it up the value keeps dropping. As people on the streets continue to park by braille and not seeing my car the value keeps dropping. This all makes it hard for me to convince myself to spend $$ on maintenance but I know I have to. It needs new shoes (summer and winter), new front brakes and probably the clutch kit soon too as well as another complete fluid change and I should probably put some new spark plugs in too. It's made it to 102k on the original front pads and rotors, original plugs and as long as it's warm out the TOB is fine but I know that when it cools off it's going to start screaming at me again.

All that said I still enjoy driving the shit out of it and will keep it for a long time.

I bought my first car used and kept it for 18.5 years. Then I bought my FRS used as well, so its only my second car. I'll keep driving and fixing it until it falls apart.

Depending on how the new Supra turns out (basically whether they end up offering it with a manual, I could maybe settle for a DCT), once those reach a price I can afford I will consider trading

Until one of us (or both of us) give up the ghost

Part of me hopes this car gets discontinued so it can become a rare gem in the upcoming years but then again I would like to see it it evolve into a new generation. This car is just so fun to drive. I cannot let go...
