How long are you gonna keep your TL
I know quite a few TL Owners and some CL owners that say they will never get rid of their 2nd gen. Then there are some that trade every 2 years. How long have you owned your TL currently, and how long do you think you will keep it?
For me --- owned it for 2 years so far, have 2 years left on loan, but after its paid off im keeping it till it dies

Prick of the month
I have been thinking about selling and getting an NBP with black interior, I love these cars too much to move on to something else at this point. I'll probably wait until they come out with a 4th gen Type-S before I buy something new.

Ive had mine for just about 3 years now. Ill probably keep it untill it wont run no more. Im in college, got 2 more years left so ill have it for the next 2 years plus maybe 1 or 2 adittional years ontop of that, then probably will be able to afford my first brand new car. maybe. Even after i get a brand new car, ill still keep my TL because i love the way it looks and its in great shape and would make a good daily driver if anything.

I used to say that I keep my cars until they "die"...
But the honest truth is that I will keep my cars until it is too painful to keep any longer (either through dependability inconvenience pains, or financial pains of constantly repairing things)...
I've had my car since I bought it brand new in 2003, and plan on at least another 10 years before expecting any of these sorts of "pains" though...

Bought it three years ago...ready move on. I loved the TL, but now I love the LGT. I'll probably keep it for another year (unless I get a good offer) and pick up the Suby

I'm Down Right Fierce!
Had it for about 5 years... currently at 80k. Gonna let it go sometime next year after I take the California BAR exam.
Love the car, but gotta let it go before resale value drops too low.
