For how long will you keep your 2010?

I'm curious as to what most people's plans are for their 2010. Do you plan on keeping it forever or selling/trading it off for a newer model or maybe you are storing it away in a warehouse until it's a classic?

I guess I had considered waiting until it's paid off (4 years) and then swapping for a newer model. Sometimes, however, I wonder if it wouldn't be fun just to keep it up in pristine condition and just keeping it around regardless of whether or not I get something else.

I've been asking myself a similar question. Will the 2010 model be the classic car similar to the '67? Will it be as desirable in 20 years? I would have loved to have owned a '67-'69.

My guess is that I will keep this car until I can properly afford the Z/28, whenever it actually comes out and after it becomes affordable. My assumption is that this will be the 2nd year after it first ships to customers.

Cheers,
-Alan

Definately keeping mine for as long as possible, unless a Z28 actually comes out and if it's worth the extra $

Well, I wish I could put it in a time capsule and let her sit forever....and just get another to drive around. But, it's going to be a daily driver for me. I'm going to keep it in tip top shape for many years to come...and I hope I can keep it forever.

I'm going to keep driving and repairing it until my mechanic tells me it's over and to let her go.

The only thing that would make me try to trade-up or think of it is if a new z28 comes out.

I would sure like to keep both though.

We all have Camaro syndrome, I just suffer from the z28 strand.
