How long will you keep your Supra for?

[hogmaw]

I've had mine coming up to 3 years now and despite our first baby being due this summer I have no intention of getting rid.

 

Road tax increases - don't care

Petrol price increases - not bothered

CO2 issues - load of old cobblers

Weekend driving only - means I enjoy it more

Maintainence costs - I'm not single turbo so it's not an issue

 

The Supra stays! I think I will have this car for a long time yet. What about you lot?

[dibbleyuk]

proberly just for this summer mate.. then its bigger better things!

 

 

 

Twin Turbo/Big single what ever i can afford at the time

[Matt H]

the amont of money im ploughing into it means i'll probably never get rid of her!

[SupraStar 3000]

for ever and ever,....

[jim_supra]

Mine will be with me for at least another couple of years

[Jake]

I'm in my fifth year of Supra ownership. No plans to get rid at the mo.

[Ian C]

6 years in May, still happy with it What on earth would I swap it for

[spidermonkey]

had mine over 5 years, got my second baby on the way (understanding missus) not looking to get rid of it at the moment

[mathew]

wanted one for years, finally got one and already looking into getting rid of it. but not quite yet, most probably in the autumn.

as much as i hate the idea of selling it i also need to move out:(

[VIL]

coming up to 5 years and still love it......yea it has its moments but what else could I get to come close to replacing it without spending BIG money.

 

I did have a wobble last year and looked to sell it as I was setting up my own business and thought I could do with the money but I`m glad I didnt.

 

To be honest they have come down in price so much its not even worth thinking about selling it as I would be gutted to sell it for anything less than I feel would be its true value......

 

Chances are I will own it for life!

[silvershark44]

Unfortunately mine will be up for sale in the next few weeks.

 

Ill be finishing Uni this year and instead of getting a job straight away im going traveling for a year. So there is no point in keeping the Supra, as i have to save to go away next year and will have to get rid of it before i go anyway.

 

So look out for a stock j spec auto very soon!

[flukey-lukey]

I'll own it forever, or until I decide to go travelling in a couple of years... but maybe I could keep it in a garage somewhere until my return? hmmm

[cleland]

Ive had my car 3yrs, i have had a lot of sports cars in that 3yrs that cost a lot more, but never once thought of selling it,

I dont think theres any car for the money thats as good.

[Pete]

Depends. I may decide to sell up and build a project if I can afford to run a sensible commuter car as well.

See how well the business does this year.

[GLENN STONEHAM]

Had mine 7 years next month and still get a thrill out of looking at/ driving/ owning it.

Dont fancy anything else (excluding lottery win type change) other than a newer & faster one.

[GLENN STONEHAM]

Just had a thought . [sHOCK][/sHOCK]

 

If I keep it as long as I"ve owned my Triumph Stag (bought it in April 1978) thats 29 years.!!!!! Shit ... 29 less 7 years already had supe ...thats 22 yrs to go .... I"ll be 79. yes 79.

How will I get in & out. Think the Stags going to be the record holder on years of ownership.

 

Any one here had a car that long I wonder?

[Kranz]

Considering the amount of time its taking me to actually get to BPU, I recon about 36 years...... and then I will have only just completed the upgrade

[rovervi]

probably keep it for good, get other cars along side it

[edge]

 

 

Any one here had a car that long I wonder?

 

Longest ive owned a car is 3 years from new otherwise its been a year or less for every car.

But ive always wanted a supe and theres so much i want to do with it. What else would i get for performance/pound/looks that matches the supe

[DannyW]

Had my supra less than 3 weeks and it's up for sale

[Gazboy]

I'll probably chop it in for a VVTi6 next year, or go to the dark side and get a Skyline GTR33.

[Havard]

Had my supra less than 3 weeks and it's up for sale

 

Why is that Danny??

 

I have had mine 6 weeks and although I am going a bit silly getting it tidied up I am absolutely in love with it. Have only done about 300 miles but I keep looking at it!!

 

The grin factor is immense......

[RobSheffield]

Im keeping mine for quite some time!

[Scoboblio]

Probably not for much longer TBH. It's a gorgeous car and I love it, but nowadays it spends 3 weeks every month parked up because I won't park it anywhere dodgy. Meaning I have to run a second car.

 

I'm thinking something more sensible but still with a bit of power, like an ST200, always wanted one of those.

[downimpact]

It's a future classic and even then will probably not sell, Supra's for life not just xmas
