how long do you plan on keeping your tahoe/yukon?

[moviewithnotitle]

I have had mine 96 for more than 10yrs. Bought it with 60k on it, it's currently at 150k. NO PLAN to every get rid of it. I was close a short time ago, but its just not smart to get rid of something that has no payment, has run great for it's life, is easy to maintenance and work on, and does nearly everything I have ever asked it to do! If anything, I would get a 2005 or later Tahoe to ADD to the vehicle line-up, but this Hoe ain't ever leaving this family.

A friend of mine said it best regarding his vehicles; "I don't get rid of the ones I like!"

Just bought the 93 K1500 Blazer with the intent of holding onto it for as long as possible. I fully expected to repair/replace all the 20 year old bits and pieces to keep it roadworthy another 20 years.

Always cheaper to keep and fix your..... truck and your wife.

Ive had mine for 2 months. I was thinking about trading it off cause it was doing weird stuff. I finally got it fixed and now I wanna keep it. Done a lot to it in just 2 months:
*New U-Joints
*New tire
*New interior lights
*Fixed dome light switch
*Lifted 2" in front and 3" in rear
*New intake gaskets
*new thermostat
*New cap and rotor
*new plugs and wires
*new fuel filter
and I think thats it. But now the jerking issue is gone and she drives great. So as long as it stays that way ill keep it til she falls apart.

Not entirely true. I can't afford and am plan sick of fixing my 2000 F150 which is why I went shopping and found my 95 hoe. If this Tahoe keeps rollin I'll probably drive until there is nothing left to drive.

I had that Ford for 7 years and it has cost me on average $1000 a year in repairs, and considering I never put more than 5000 miles on it in a year thats pretty expensive to keep up. Only reason I kept it this long is its paid for and it is/was my plow truck. Well, and I have to admit when its running decent its the nicest driving/handling vehicle I have ever owned. I have sort of a love-hate relationship with it.

i plan on keeping mine around for a decent while. i saved it from a friend gave her a new heart and did all the maintenance on the front that has never been done. im sure the rear end will grenade on me and i will have to replace the tranny but nothing is out of my reach. hell if the rear goes thats just more of a reason to sas it my pops has a 88 burban that he bought in 87, with only 86k miles. im sure this truck will end up like his burban and stick around even if it only gets driven short amount of time.

I need to hold on to mine for a long time. I have a lot of plans and things I want to change. Luckily I have a daily driver now so I can spend the time to take it off the road and work on it if I want to. This is my 3rd 2-door OBS so I plan on keeping it.

 

[VicYukon]

Well I plan on keeping my Yukon, my baby for a while. My little 9 year old brother loves it as much as I do. His the one who helps me work on it. And one day he asked me "can I have it?". And I told him "when you graduate from high shool you can have it that day".... So its gonna be in the family for a long long time.

Until it no longer becomes fun to wrench on and update/customize/fix and it becomes a burden.

Just bought my 99 with the intention of keeping for as long as possible. Trying to keep up my "no car payments" plan for as long as I can.

 

[97WhiteYukon]

I'm planning on pretty much till im dead. It's not really worth that much if I sold it, so unless I was in a bind I'm going to make it super clean, maintain it and roll it prob get a second car at some point and keep it on the side and under a cover when I'm not driving it.

HI all, I'm new to the forum but not to the Yukon! I'm lucky enought to own a
'99 that I've run up to 277,002 as of today. I love it. It is truley one of the great trucks/cars I have even owned. The body is still in great shape. I have
'07 Wheels on it with 265/70R 17 Geolandars A/T-S and it looks nearly new! I'm planing on giving it a bit of a lift. not looking for the standard 4" kit. I want to put an "Add a Leaf' to the rear for a couple of inches, and a torsion lift up front for 1.5-2". I'd like to run 32's-33's. I'm really looking for as much axle articulation as possable from the IFS with out having to go with a SAC. It does fine offroad, but was limited this last weekend on a trail in Anza-Borrego. I'd love to hear any suggestions or advice.

I've had mine for 15 years now, bought it new in 1998, it has 320,500 miles. I know this is great for owners, but not good for Chevy sales. I think I'm going to replace it with another, but different colors for sure. I'm getting sick of looking at the same old truck day in and day out. HA. HA. Ready for a NEW ONE !

 

[EvAZRt]

I got my truck from the original owner. its a 92 I still have the window sticker for it. Retail was 27k I bought it 7 years ago for 4k have 180k miles and still replacing factory parts. I wanted to keep it forever and for a child if I get so blessed but I've started to think that it might not last forever if I let a 16 year old drive it. Once I finish school I plan on getting a car and renovating it.

 

[SunlitComet]

is there a reason why one should get rid of it?

 

[2drhoeon4s]

Forever

 

[Goodinblack]

Till 2019

They're going to bury me in mine and then they will have a retirement party for me... If it weren't for lack of cash, Mine would be all finished by now... LOL
