Default How long do you plan on keeping your S2000?

I have had a bad habit of changing cars every 2 years or less my whole life. Shortest ownership 9 months. I told my wife when I bought my S2000 that I'd keep it 10 years or 150,000 miles whichever comes first. How long to you owners or future owners think you'll hang on to your rides.

I too have a habit of changing cars every two years or so. When I bought the S, I vowed that I would keep it for at least 15 years. That coupled with the fact that I likely wont drive it more than 2-3000KM a year gives me no reason to sell it any time soon. There again, who knows? Knowing my past I'll storm right into the dealership with the keys to my Spa Yellow as soon as I hear that there is a new model on its way

I'm in the same boat, switching around too often. The car I'm trading I haven't had a year.

I think I've had a problem not knowing what I want. Up to this point. In fact, my wife encouraged me to get exactly what I wanted so I could stop switching.

But that's a good thing. I told her I was seriously considering the MR2. She asked me if I would be happy or if I would want the S2000 after a year. Very wise question. After that there was no way I was going to get anything less.

There is nothing out there I want more. I've had larger cars and they are not for me. This is a keeper!

I hope the S will end my car obsession. I got the wrong car last time and up to now, the S makes me happy so hopefully she is the one

Forever. I don't plan on replacing it with the new model. I do plan on adding the new model to my future collection though.

i usually switch every 2 years also. I would like to hold on to the S2000 for at least 5 years though. This is the first brand new car i have bought, i have no clue what i would trade it on in 5 years down the road though, until then i am enjoying every moment of ownership.
