How many of you plan on keeping their Tahoe over 5 years?

[LAP TOP GAMER]

Most people don't seem to keep car very long these days and 5 years seems like a long time, I myself plan on keeping mine for over 10 years.

I buy and keep my cars until they get to expensive to fix. How ever long that may be. It is quite nice not having car payments and it keeps me from caring about depreciation.

I don't care about depression ether, as I drive it and enjoy it and realize that it is not an investment I'm buying.

In '09 it will be 5 years for me. I almost had my '97 Tahoe for five years but I traded it in for my current one.

 

[Rich2007Z71]

I had my last one ('97) for 10 years. Heck - it will be five years and it will just be paid off!! So YES I plan I keeping this one until the tires fall off!

In for the long haul on this one. Vehicles are so expensive now, they should be owned until they die. At least 10 years. I only drive 6-7k miles a year so at tens years my Yukon should have roughly 70k miles on it. Should still be running strong with proper maintenance.

A good reason to hold on to them.

If I had the Z71, hell they could just bury me in it!

I drove a Honda Passport for 10 years before buying the Tahoe. I'll probably drive the Tahoe at least that long.

I usually trade cars about 3-5 but that's just me, 10 yrs is a very long time. :Chevy:

I'm in the school of thought that yes vehicles are very expensive and you might as well find what you want and drive it until the wheels fall off, getting you're moneys worth out of lets face it depreciating asset.

 

[Rich2007Z71]

Funny you should mention about being buried in a Z71 - even though I am only 48, I told my wife, if something happens to me and my truck is still in good shape, put me in the driver seat with my shades on, the stereo blasting and bury me away! :smilielol: :Angel:

Yes we love our Tahoe's.

12,000 miles in 4 months.. I'll be ready for a new one in 5 years. I wear 'em out before I get tired of 'em.

I've been thru far too many vehicles in the last five years. Had I stuck with my 1st Avalanche it would've been paid off this year, but unfortunately I kept getting the new car bug. Oh well, live and learn. I'm in the Tahoe for the long haul cause there isn't anything out there I like better..........until the 2013 or later redesign comes out. :thumbsup:

Why is 2013 a magic year?

 

[CutchZ71]

Just a guess at when the redesign might happen. I'm hoping its no sooner than that because I need to keep this one for awhile.

I hope that this body style stays around for a few years as I don't know how else they could improve it.

Yeah I like the current version, I hope they keep up for another 3-5 years.

My '01 dosen't look good underneath.
Kept it too long. Soon to be turned in.
Numerous things went wrong in those years but it's got to be better than a F-O-R-D..
