How long will u keep you car?

Just curious how long you think u will keep your 2016 camaro for and if you know what you will replace it with.
I'm 31 and have gone through 12 autos. My 2014 camaro was the longest I've kept a car in about a decade and I had it for about two years.
Longest I've kept a car was 4rys and that was my first camaro.
I plan on keeping my 2016 for three to four years till I pay off my mortgage and then get something more expensive like some trim of the next model vette. Unless it is mid engine; in which case I have no clue.

I'm 35 and probably had had 15 cars so far. I plan on actually paying this Camaro off, unlike the others.

Perhaps not much longer, now that I have found rust bubbles on my rear quarter. Wisdom may dictate I get rid of it after I have it taken care of.

But to answer your question, I have had maybe 13 cars but I tend to keep some of them 6-7 years. I still own one that I bought in 1989.

I'm 60 and the Camaro is the 6th car i've owned.
I still have the fourth car i bought, a 1999 Yukon.
I'd have still had the fifth, a 2007 Solstice GXP, if it hadn't been totaled.

imma live out the rest of my life with the Camaro and the Yukon.

Almost exactly four years old. A pair of bubbles, one is like a cone, the other a lump, on a rear wheel opening arch. In my experience, where there's one or two, there's more.

I have to make some decisions. Not really happy.

How Long???

I don't know, I know my wife hopes I keep it for a while. I have bought 8 cars in the last 10 years for us. I kept the '13 Camaro 2SS for 1.5 years. When I was working I once kept an 84 LeSabre for 17 years, my wife did anyway. Drove that thing all over Wyoming attending my two daughters high school sports.

Isn't that a 5th gen? Maybe read the question before you answer it?

It looks like ChirsBlair & Havelegs drive a 5th Gen also, you don't have any problem with that ?

I am planning on keeping this car for decades unless something unforseen comes up.
