I just sold my mazda mx6 that I had since 98 and it was pretty sad to let it go. I can't believe I had the car for almost 5 years! so what's the longest you've had a car and which car?
 
I bought my Talon in November of '89, ('90 model year) and it's still going strong.

I just got my NSX, and I plan on keeping it until I'm too old to drive

A somewhat modified '85 CRX-SI, since '85. Still puts a big smile on my face today.

Hondas are like that, you know. I don't anticipate ever selling either of, as neither has ever been surpassed for what it is. Five thousand pounds between them, and miles of smiles.

I had my 78 911SC Targa from Oct. 1983 to Oct. 2002. I sold it to buy my current NSX and while the 911 was certainly part of the family and predated our marriage by 2 months, we can see ourselves keeping the NSX just as long, at least right now.

My '94 Caddy STS - bought new in Sept. '94 & still going strong almost 130K miles later - I swear I didn't spend a nickel on that car through 100K other than consumables (tires, brakes, belts, batteries, fluids,filters - pretty much it)
Since then however, alternator, ac compressor, steering pump, idler pulley, two sway bar brackets, ignition coil, another battery, transmission repair (shift solenoids)& the ride control shocks need replaced - still, not bad total for 130K miles & 8 1/2 years.
 
My NSX is the car I have had the longest, 3 years.

'85 Civic - 2.5 years
'89 Accord - 1.5 years
'94 Land Cruiser - 1 year (still have)
'96 Grand Am - 1 year (don't ask)
'96 Accord - 1 year
'00 Xterra - 1 year
'00 CLK - 7 months (still have)
'91 NSX - 3 years (stil have of course)
 
I have had my Lotus Europa JPS since June of 1974. It has over 100K miles. Looks and runs great. Mucho maintainence though.

Can anyone beat that!

Happy Motoring At all Costs!

I couldn't hold a candle to some of you but I just sold my 95 Stealth before New Year's (7.5 years). I would still have it but I got the NSX and had no more garage space

I haven't kept a car more than 2 years since high school. I had that ride for 5 years. I guess I just get bored of em and start yearning for something else.

I had my 1988 Celica GT until I bought my NSX in 2000. Of course, the Celica was my mom's until 1994, so I technically owned it for only 6 years.
