For a year and half, once I graduate college.

Planning of getting one of these CTS, Solstice/Sky, or GM/Ford Truck

350Z, or older 550i are also on my list.

dirtySAMURAI 08-05-2005 01:51 PM

until my parents sell it? :shrug: i have a laundry list of cars i want to buy. will i ever be able to afford them? nah...

wheamahm0n3yat 08-05-2005 01:53 PM

imma keep mines until it break down...

Kyle23 08-05-2005 01:55 PM

at least 5 more years. I have a 04 Ex which I bought brand new w/ 6 miles on it and I wanna get my $ worth out of it before I get a different car. Also I'm a soph in college and I dont want to get a new car anytime soon since I'm trying to save $ to move out. Also that vic should easily last until 150K w/o much problem and I only drive about 15K a year so if I keep it 5 more years it would be at like 90K. But I kinda wanna keep it to see how long it will run w/o any problems. And right now I got about 22k on it... So who knows... maybe I'll keep it until it turns 8 or 9 or 10. Maybe longer who knows.... I have no idea what I'm going to do

dirtySAMURAI 08-05-2005 01:56 PM

i have a 13 year old car. i wonder how long it will last....lol

02nithwkcivcpe 08-05-2005 01:59 PM

soon, im ready for my next car

HondaSales 08-05-2005 02:02 PM

about one more month. i've had it since 10/01 and i'm getting the '06 TSX when it comes out....can't wait!

nick95673 08-05-2005 02:05 PM

10 years. save money. i like it. i travel around 200-800 miles a week so i cant see having any less than 35 mpg. plus this way i will have atleast 8 years of no car payment and lower insurance.

blouisgod 08-05-2005 02:07 PM

Until it dies, then a k20 - to much stuff to pay for and a car payment is at the bottom of that list.

fullgrown 08-05-2005 02:22 PM

for at least 3-5 years. cause...i just started modding my car!!! don't want to give it up too soon.

AlpineCivic 08-05-2005 02:23 PM

Just decided that Ill have mine for another year and then its gone! Getting a G35! Need to get out of this young racer category! Need something a little classey with performance!

Theeyo 08-05-2005 02:24 PM

driving it till the wheels fall off hahaha

zen_master 08-05-2005 02:25 PM

MOST probably.........

until spring 2006..........MAYBE....after Honda Jazz/Fit comes out..

im planning to get em...........

ironcow 08-05-2005 02:30 PM

until it dies...its paid for and its mine so why get rid of it?

04trinicivic 08-05-2005 02:33 PM

i put alot into it so ima run it till it dies

SOHC 08-05-2005 02:44 PM

yeah no kidding, im runin mine till it dies too. Ive been making payments so long that it would be dumb to sell it after i finish paying. its great on gas, looks hot and is reliable as hell.

but things change. i start my full time job next week, i should be floating in money soon. i really considered selling when i saw pics of the si concept. but now that real pics are out, its not nearly as hot, im not selling!

not to mention- ive had that car from day one, i couldnt let it get into the wrong hands by selling it!

my05civic24 08-05-2005 02:49 PM

I got an 05 civic ex. I hope I can get rid of it soon. I did buy a lot for it, cf trunk/evo hood, headlights, basic bolt ons, short shifter, couple gauges, nice stereo. I plan on getting an evo 8. So to answer the question, hopefully soon

Why would u even spend the $ on the civic if u just bought it this year modded it alot and now u wanna get an EVO? Why didnt u just buy the evo in the 1st place? Or did u decide to get an EVO after u didnt make many gains on the mods?

scatman 08-05-2005 03:08 PM

had a modded 01 EX for 3 years and got rid of it for an 04 Si.....Si is currently for sale and if it doesnt sell by end of sept its getting stripped down/traded in and ill move on to something a little bigger/faster.....i want to kind of get out of the younger racer stage too

KnocturnalEM2 08-05-2005 03:08 PM

For a while...Hopefully...getting a 240SX to satisfy my "project/fast car" wants...if my engine goes boom...time for a transplant!!!

Teh_Sare 08-05-2005 03:17 PM

forever.well..at least until it dies. i love my car. its nice to have a reliable car...haha my previous car was an '82 Pontiac 6K. that thing broke down every week. i think the only thing that was actually 20 yrs old on it was the body haha.

Curiouz_G 08-05-2005 03:40 PM

as long as my parents want to...they brought it, im juss renting it, w.o paying for it =) but yea, he says he wants to trade it in when i get outta college so 4 yrs.

Al Gore FTW 08-05-2005 03:54 PM

mines about 40% paid off, ive had it since feb 04, and i have 38k miles on it now. im thinking either finish paying it off and keep it, get an s2k or something on the side, then eventually swap. after all the stuff i've done to it, i dont think i ever wanna sell it. ive spent about 4700 aftermarket.

DaMadScientist 08-05-2005 04:10 PM

Till i graduate college, in about 5 years, selling it and buying a 99 - 00 Hatch, preferably a shell and putting a JDM K20a or whtever baddass motor honda comes out with in the next 5 years that compatible :rockon:

Cocky 08-05-2005 04:15 PM

get rid of a honda? why? hm.. not me.. i've dropped well over $15k into it, it's stayin till i total the bitch. :)

genexrocket 08-05-2005 04:19 PM

ima give it to my kids then my kids are gonna give it to their kids.. heh heh

monty001 08-05-2005 04:22 PM

well i just got my 01 lx....Im gonna keep it for a while. Done with school now, so once i get a job...and start making some green..im gonna get a truck or suv maybe or even a 350z....still gonna keep the civic for everyday use. Its a nice little car....

civicvtec1ps 08-05-2005 05:31 PM

I was about to trade in for s2k, but just going to pay it off to keep the car until a3 lasts, then time for k24 :sweet:

At the time I wanted a civic, cuz I couldn't afford an EVO, now my girl, is gonna help me get an EVO. Don't get me wrong I love Honda and I love my lil civic. It's pretty quick for a SOHC. I just want a lil more power and my girl said we could go look at them. So that is my answer
