Now I'm a keeper! A 95' 2-door Hoe was my 1st SUV experience at 24 years old. I LOVED that Hoe! (sorry Snoop Dogg) I just sold my 07 Yukon and I'm back in a 97 2-door Hoe and I can't see myself selling. Wifey knows it makes me happy, and she likes it so I'm good lol

I've been a keeper for 9 years and now that I'm teetering on a trade, she starts running kinda smooth. So the jury is out for now, maybe today I'll know.

When I was younger I always had one keeper and the rest were sellers. Now that I'm older, I seem to keep things a very long time because I never know if I will be able to replace it.

Definitely a keeper. I've got a 1979 GMC Caballero that I got in 1990. (Has the hybrid C4 system.) A 1969 GMC that I got in 1998 or so, and now this newly purchased 1999 Yukon Denali!

And btw, the dog in my avatar photo is alive, he's just sleeping.

Keeper. 4 years so far, first truck I ever bought. I'll never sell it. Eventually it will be a toy more than my dd, then hopefully passed down to my kiddo one day if its still in good shape...will be a classic by then lol 95 Tahoe 4x4.

It depends for me. Some vehicles i keep for a long time but others i dump right away. Whenever i get a vehicle even a dd its automatically a project. I have a vision of what i want it to look like and where i want it to go. After a while of that not happening i get frustrated and make an excuse to trade it off or sell it for another project. Ive only had a hand full of vehicles that have ever been what i wanted it to be. One was my 98f150, the other was my current 88 subaru.

I've kept my '92 for 22 years now, guess I'll be keeping it. :) Nothing out there new that I like as much, so I'm doing a full restore and updating the engine & trans. I figure I'll have $20K in the restore, which is a hell of a lot cheaper than a new rig.

Sold my 97 back in 06 and still regret it, but I sold it to a friend so it doesn't sting as much. He still has it and loves it. Keeping the 99 no questions asked.

Seller. I'll run it up to a mileage I'm no longer comfortable with and list it on Craigslist for the price I paid.

It might take several months but someone eventually buys it. In the end I'm out my maintenance costs. This system has been working well. I've never had a car payment in my life.

The only vehicle of mine that doesn't have a price is the '77 but even then I'm sure if someone wanted it bad enough I'd unload it but I know I'd regret it later on. Either one of my burbs, though, can definitely go away for the right price. There's always more fish in the sea when someone has the right amount of cash in their hand.

I had to learn the hard way on my first car (65 galaxie) EVERYTHING is for sale for the right price! Had someone offer me crazy money on the galaxie when I first started driving it. He even had cash in hand. I said no because I had been working on it with my dad for the past 2 years. less than a week later the transmission linkage randomly broke and the car went down my moms driveway into a 4' deep concrete ditch!!!!:pp:

Keeper. I've had my 96 since 2000. I was 26 and it cost me 18500 back then. My first car I bought on my own. I always liked 2dr SUVs and was originally looking for a bronco when I saw this one and fell in love with it. I also have a '72 K5 that I'm slowly restoring. I remember being in awe when I drive it the first time. All the lights inside, the smooth ride. How I was shocked that it took all of $45 to fill it up. I quickly put a lift on it and bought some 285s along with a light bar and some off road lights. I'm currently bringing it back to life. Not that it's dead or anything I'm just fixing things that are long over due. She hasn't quite hit 100k miles yet. Since 2000 I've put about 60k miles on it.
