the residual of my car is really high (atleast thats what i think)

i might take on another lease but too early to say.

Kept my Maxima 7 years. Probably about the same for the G. I bought this car with the intent of keeping it - we'll see how it goes.

Love it more everyday.

I plan on keeping my 2005 for 3 years. I like to get rid of cars before they get a tons of miles on them. Sell it before the depreciation really starts to kick in. Plus, by 3 years, I'm usually ready for the next new thing.

(Yeah, I know...I have a 5 year old Miata. But that's only because my wife is waiting for the next gen Miata which is not due until the fall.)

I'll keep a car as long as it is dependable!! My last car lasted 15 years with 345,000 miles!! So who know how long I'll keep the G

If the G gives me a lot of problems that can't be fixed or keep comming back I'll drop it in a heart beat!

NO NEED TO BRAG, BRO.

If I can afford the new GTR, I'll keep it 3 years (if not, then probably 6 to 7 years).

Until it dies if I have my way. It's a nice car and I wouldn't mind driving it that long.

Scary to think that one day, your G might be your "beater." Haha.

Mine is done whenever Nov. 2006 gets here. Because mine was rear-ended last May, her integrity is gone.

Mine is also a lease, and my residual is $17,500. I really think she will be worth alot more when that time comes.

I may look into a 2007 coupe. We'll see.
