keep or sell?

Just curious, what do you intend to do with your TSX? Sell/trade up in 3 years? 4 years? 5? Keep it until it breaks down? I have a feeling my 6MT/Red will be hard to find a buyer for, and I would think as a Honda it will be quite economical to grind until it's dust. But that seems like a very long time to go without something new to me... and I'm worried red will not look so quite so red in 5 or 6 years...

Maybe this could be a poll, but I'm too lazy to figure out how to do it
:imwithstupid:

And if this is a repost, apologies... I tried but maybe am no master of search.

Funny you ask this, becuase I am also wondering what other people plans are with the TSX. About finding buyers..I don't know. I am looking for a used TSX and I can't find many (maybe 1 or 2) in CG. It looks like many people are and will hold onto it..I In any case, I was going to buy a used one, then trade it in for a brand new car (TL?) in 4/5 years.

Well you won't find many yet of course because it's only been out 1 year. I remember seeing something about acura TL's being in the top 10 resale value after 5 years (at 50-something %). But I know only time will tell how well the TSX holds up... technical reasons aren't the only factor, so it's rather complex and difficult to predict..

In five years maybe sooner, I'm planning on trading it in for another car. Hopefully, by then I can afford to spend more and buy a more expensive car! But now I'm cool.

I would say that I plan on keeping mine for 4-6 years. Mine is merely my fun "commuter" car. Thus, depending on job location and family situation, I'll likely keep it for a good while. Can't even imagine what I'd get next...hopefully a convertible-I was so into getting a '01 Saab 9-3 convertible before the wife stepped in and decreed that a baby seat was not appropriate in a drop-top
I'm planning on the next truck purchase for the wife to replace the Pathfinder...definitely something larger...maybe even a MDX

I'll be driving mine into the ground. I plan on driving it for another 4years and half. That would bring me to 500,000km, which is good enough.

And then what? Are you interested in the TL or the new RL? Or is it too early to start thinking about it?

I don't know yet, but a hybrid is definitely in my views.

I say that now but hopefully it'll be worth too much not to sell or trade in

Then again...I was going to keep my old G20 but a dumb-ass woman took care of that...

Yeah I guess. So for now, I think I'll keep this baby forever

I'm hoping that the TSX is still in my list of "cars I want" when the time comes for me to move on from what I have now. We'll see, it's a ways off since we're currently looking at new homes ( time to move up from our current house!)

It will stay in my family till it breaks down. My dad bought the car I drive in 1988 and then handed it down to me when he got the TSX. So when I get the TSX I intend to keep it going as long as possible.
