Keeping it until it becomes one of those rusted falling apart hunks you see on the road.

But I will get something else that's special as a personal car in a few years.

This might be the last combustion engine vehicle i purchased. After that, either hydrogen or electric.

I still like the sound of an internal combustion engine, at least for my weekend toy car.

Agree with previous posts, till the car dies (its last check engine lol), blows up, it's my first car so I plan to keep it. Although I do plan on getting an IS-F weekend car, aside from that I love my IS250

I have always had a habbit of keeping my cars for a very long time...along as it holds together. I am always happy with the cars I bought....just like my NSX..14 years till I had to sell it for the Lexus (move from 2 door to 4 door.. my Lexus)..took me the last 2 years just to work up the guts to do so..hehehe

I usually keep my cars 6+ years and don't expect to do anything different with my IS

I will keep it for about three years total, because I get bored with it. I buy the cars instead of leasing, because I put a lot of miles on them. I say three years because by then I'm usually not up side down in it and have a down payment for the next.

almost 3 years old now, but have not kept any car more than 6 years.
But this one is a great daily driver for the longterm.
I will try 10 year plus or as long as I can

I'm going to keep it for a good while. I've had her for a year, and it still feels like day 1.
