I bought the turbo as a keeper as well. I predict a very bright and high-demand future for 997.1tt.

I have owned two Boxsters and kept them both 4 years. I really like my 911 so I may kept it longer.

gotta say...love that plan. currently looking at going down the same road, minus tricking the wife. i just have to trick myself into thinking it's a good idea.

This is my first and I do not want to even think about buying another until years, many years, down the road!

I've had enough of buying and selling...

what are you talking about, I have my wife for 17 years and she is a keeper.

back to cars:

GT3RS likely a keeper.

Club coupe for at least 5 or more years as just extended its warranty.

CTT may see an upgrade...

Depends on how well the 997 2S Cab does over the next few years - it's driven approx 10k+ miles per year. With some cars I'd rather flip them out for something newer vs. putting lots of money into them.

No current # of years planned, just going to play it by ear and as long as it holds up and doesn't require significant investments over standard maintenance procedures and typical rebuilds/repairs then it could be around for many years. It's a great car and a blast so lots of fun times left in it for sure.

I'll be waiting to see how my car does during the autoX season. I am getting the idea it has too much understeer, so maybe I will dump it within 2 years.
If it turns out to be brilliant, I would say 3 years would be max for me....
I usually keep cars for 6-8 years, but I am not sure about this one.
