Nah. I buy shells or cars with blown motors, so the purchase price is usually dirt cheap, if not often free. And since I get a huge discount at Mopac and a couple of other performance shops, I'm already paying much less than retail. ;) HST what?

I don't think i ever sell my car now, I think it worth way more than the market price, cause i take too good care of it! Paid 40k tax in 2 years ago now worth 20k and going down :P

I drive mine to the ground. Lately, I've been looking around... preparing to move on cuz I think my car's on it's last legs. I've never sold a car, it either died, was stolen or written off. I thought my current car was going to be written off last year when I was rear ended but stupid ICBC decided to fix it.

had my s2k since 06, still have it. but have been through like 8 cars since 06 i get bored of a car when i cant do anything more interesting to it

Just bought a Cadillac SRX after having my last car for 6 years.

I've always thought about selling my daily driver for the last 8 years (92 GS-R), but when it really comes down to it, I can't really let it go. There aren't many cars these days that offer a combination of fun, ergonomics, reliability, and practicality. There are a few cars that maybe come close to what I'd want in a car (Mazdaspeed 3, Audi A3, etc.), but why spend the money and lose the depreciation when my car will easily run for another 10 years with basic maintenance? My car isn't worth much on the used market these days, so there's really no sense in selling it.

On the other hand, I still had the itch to drive something different, so I bought an E30 for shits and giggles.

had my car for 2 years... already bored of it..

Won't be selling my 240 anytime soon.

I am on my 23rd car right now.
I buy cars because I love them, I buy cars because they are cheap, I buy cars to flip them and make money.

My favorite cars that I have owed are
- 1970 GTO
- 1988 Prelude
- 2003 350Z

I also miss my 1974 Maverick too. It was a sleeper that was fast, cheap and reliable. Too bad it was ugly as shit. :)

I had owned my impreza since Dec 2005. Had plans on selling the suby for the last year but never went through with it. The trade in value just isn't worth a new car. Looking for a used vehicle that I can possibly tag on an additional 1-2k but at the same time i'm saving up for a place. damn choices!

longest i've kept a car is 2 years. shortest i've kept a car is 6 days. im on my 29th car now since 2002. i think the reason why i change cars so often is because my perfect car doesn't exist.

They either blow or get written off.
Or I can't afford it anymore.

I'm starting to rethink this whole car thing. I might just get a bike finally. Been planning to for the past 5 years.

I learned how to drive in my brothers '70 Judge. Looked exactly like this:

If you write off cars you might want to reconsider a bike - hurts a lot more to write off a bike. :D

Which one? Be specific :P

when i had my accord i thought i'd keep it for 4 years and chuck it, turns out after a few months i decided once i had enough money for WRX i'd sell it.


once i got my 240 i' thought i'd mod it to cars that are on importtuner lol, but i found the g35 much more attractive.

now, that i have my G35, i'll be keeping it for at least 5 years or until i finish school, but at the same time i can't think of anything i want more than this that isn't too expensive.

so 4 years, and i've only been through 3 cars and one scooter.

Man, for those of u who go thru cars like tampons, how much time do u spend buying and selling ur car. U guys make it sound like grocery shopping.

I think I lost count. Should be on my 23rd car right now since 2002. Almost always have two. Most I had at a time was 4 cars.


I think I should around the break even mark right now or at most -$1500 including all the cars I've either sold and or kept.

When my father was a bachelor, he used to go through cars every 3-6 months too. He was able to do this at a time when living costs were low and job security was high. With living costs as high as they are with respect to wages, I think it would be very hard on the pocket book to go through cars every 3 months because you always lose money in fees, insurance, and general repairs. Of course, if you look hard enough and are patient, you will sometimes find a diamond in the rough that you can flip a few months down the road for a small profit, but these are few and far between.

When people buy used, they are always looking for a deal and most are not willing to necessarily give you a price that reflects the amount of money you've put into a car.

:lol If I'm dead I won't have to deal with ICBC waiting for their statement on who's at fault.

On my 4th car now and been driving for 3'ish years? I go through them when I blow them up, find something better, or want something else... Not a fan of selling. I have never sold a car do get a different car.

Here's mine:

^ looking at that makes me want to make out with your cousin.

Depends on your needs I guess.

I had a boring automatic Honda Civic and it didn't take me long (1.5 years) to realize I needed something better. There was nothing wrong with the Civic except it was just an appliance. I don't plan on selling my S2000 for a loooooong time unless my situation changes drastically.

Damn, nice ride! Do you still own it? I was sad the day my brother sold his.
