How long will you keep your car?
How long do you see yourself keeping your current car?
Does the end of the new car warranty play into your decision? I had my Integra for 10+ years. For some reason, I don't see myself keeping my 335 for nearly half that long. |

This is my 5th bimmer...
Never keep these things past warranty...they get real expensive to fix... I usually keep them for 2 years...

Warranty is 4 yr/50K mi, right? I should be right around 4 years when I hit 50K miles. At that point, I'll have to make a decision. I'd hate to get rid of it, because I think my wife will pressure me into getting a larger car, and probably one with an AT. On the other hand, I don't want to have to pay $1000 for every little repair or service.

6yr / 100,000 miles. I got it earlier this year prior to them bumpinb the price up. The brake replacement (pads/rotors) that will come up in the 65K range will pay for it (roughly $3000; I paid roughly $1500).

So are you getting an ///AMG or GTR? Make up your mind !! I ususally keep my car until the warranty goes out but it doesn't matter as much since I know a BMW tech save me some dollars on repairs...

Darn Squid! The brake job is that expensive? What do they have on the rotor? 18K plated gold?? lol.... I can get a set of rotors for $800 and brake pads for $300 at Tirerack. I am pretty sure the install doesn't cost $1900 at any decent shops... I guess you know someones at the stealers too huh?
