How long do you plan to keep you're 07/08 Tahoe/Yukon?

[LAP TOP GAMER]

Do you lease or buy for the long haul?

 

[fco_gonzo]

I plan to keep it until my kids are embarrassed to be seen in it.

I figure the inevitable rust after 300 000+ km will blend right in with the colour I picked (sport red)....

I kept my last Tahoe 10 years and put 100,000 miles on it. I figure this one will be around as long with about the same miles on it. :thumbsup:

 

[johnebgoode]

I wont fall into the mileage category as I never put a lot of mileage on any of my vehicles. Truck is now 4 months old with only 1500 miles on it. But I usually get a new vehicle every 3-4 years regardless.

 

[LAP TOP GAMER]

Wow so far most want to keep them over 300,000.

 

[The_Yukonator]

Hell! I'll keep mine until the wheels, chasis or the hole truck bu hat mater fall apart!:smilielol:

I do too, but I figure most of us will be proven liars at 150,000 miles or less.

I won't,as a 40K vehicle is an expensive vehicle for me, so I am defiantly going to get my money's worth out of it!

My wife never keeps a car after 50k miles, so we'll probably get rid of it in a couple years. I guess she just likes to be in a new car. Me on the other hand, I'll drive the wheels off of one. I'm planning on getting an Black '08 LTZ in the next couple months, but I'll never get rid of my '04 LT, I'm looking for at least 150-175k out of it.

I usually get a different vehicle every 9 months to a year, its a bad habit I know, but I really like this one and plan on keeping it for a while. The vote is still out on how long, I am already eyeing a new Denali, DAMN THIS CAR BUG!!!

 

[Rafael]

What if gas goes to $10 a gallon? Who's selling at that point?

 

[fco_gonzo]

I dont think I have ever put that many miles in a single car but I do plan to keep it for a long time or at least until i pay it off :lol:

I had that bug too a few years ago when I was in my thirties, that's why I started paying cash for my cars. I'd go to trade one and I wouldn't get enough for the trade to cover the cost of the loan. When I started paying cash I'd just suck up the depreciation !

It seems here in California a 100,000 is really nothing for a car as you can rack that up in a short time just by commuting to work.

I've had mine about 7 mos and will be hitting 12,000 miles this week, hit 800 gallons of gas today.

Never bought a vehicle for mileage, not gonna start now. But really.....10.00 a gallon?

 

[Ray in Kingwood]

LOL @ fco_gonzo answer......sounds like what I would do :smilielol: :smilielol:

 

[KSEngineer]

I've been told that just short of the 100,000 mile mark is a good time to get rid of the hoe if you don't want the expense of rebuilding a tranny.

$3000 to $4000 for a tranny or 40K for a new Tahoe. I think the new tranny is cheaper unless my math is wrong.
