It seems like more and more people are ditching their CL's, going after something newer, faster, or more virgin (no mods). Just wondering how long people are really planning on keeping their CL's.

In around 3-5 years, I'll be around 140k; however, if my current luck with the car keep on, it'll cost more to repair than it's worth long before that...

 

I'm planned to keep mine for only 4 years from the buy date...Mainly cause the cost to repair things when the mileage is high ends up costing more, cause something more costly ends up breaking down after time of deteriation...

 

im probably gonna keep it for about 2 more years.. or untill it breaks down..

total break down that is..

 

so far.. i've had it for 3yrs and 9months!!

will have it for like 1~2 yrs more before I completely go back to my country

p.s:legendary, haven't put ur spings yet??

 

i did put my springs on! they're so nice! i have to take pics tomorrow..

or as soon as i can get a car wash.. lol.. it keeps raining dangit!

 

yeah.. lots of raining recently.. definetely seattle weather

well.. how's ur ride?? a lot of differences...right?? less comfortable..much shaking.. lol

 

Man Iam ridin' till the wheels fall off this mother.

 

i wanna keep mine forever

 

What he said...

 

Unless you spend a LOT of money every month on repairs then it'll still be cheaper to drive your current car than making payments on a newer one. IMO, I'd stick with the CL until the car is incapable of being driven.

 

Well I will have for 3 yrs on my birthday. I feel as long as she runs well and doesn't start to costing me bundles, she's worth keepin. plus after I'm done payin in a year I can afford a newer engine, maybe H22

 

im tired of it, but i drive different cars all the time so when i do drive the cl, it feels somewhat good for a slow car

 

i love my cl i hope that i can keep it till i kick the bucket. Keep it in my garage as a classic when i get older.

 

I certainly want to keep it as long as I can. Had kind of bad luck with accidents and stuff though...that's what is getting expensive. But, I guess bad luck with a new car would be just as expensive. It's just kind of discouraging though.

 

new cars are cool... but the CL is just gonna have less and less resale value.


i wanna keep mine forever as well.. a first car is like a love.

 

ya its raining down here right now

im probably going to keep my car for 3 or 4 years, at which that time ladies will never tell me my car is cool at all anymore, and i will be forced to get a g35.

 

I'mma keep mine forever also.

 

im runnin this bitoch til' the wheels fall off

 

eventually this will be my second car, and i'll just have a daily driver

 

car is giving me to many headaches... the monthly payments are more than the car is worth at the moment... so less than a year.
