So, picked mine up in April this year, don't really plan to have it for longer than 2 years.

How about you guys? How long do you keep cars for?

Even Money

I love the NA 6.3. About the only thing I would consider trading it up for would be a dual clutch auto. Otherwise, I'll likely keep the car for many years, while working on it here and there. I don't miss the turbo lag and whine from my STi, and this V-8 sounds ridiculous, can't wait to hear when I get some headers.

Lease is three years but I really like this car. Not sure is my answer.

till 2012 September

_AMG_

A long time!!!! Mercedes got it right with the 6.2 Liter V8.

Sincity

A long time. This will probably be the last big NA V8 stuffed into a C-Class from AMG.

gsrjc

Already kept it for 2 years and plan to keep it for a while actually.

alqamzi

probably until the new 5.5 TT engine comes on a E OR C class. Which comes first i will trade The c63 for it.

Mine is 16 months old and only has 6700 miles on it. If it remains trouble-free,I'll hold on to it. Problem is I have a very short attention span when it comes to cars. Who knows.

One of my main reasons for buying this car was because of the huge engine. I thought that in 10 years time there won't be much in the way of big displacement gas guzzlers, so I wanted to own one before it was too late. I want to tell my grand kids (in 50-60 years time), about the huge engines I used to drive "back in the day" haha.

Another question, would you buy another MB?

I really want a Gallardo, but can't really DD that, so I would buy another MB as a daily.

justthebest

Until the wheels fall off. Or until I find a deal on an SLS I can't pass up.

I plan on having a very long relationship with my C63. Were even thinking on having kids soon.

As long as she is good to me ill be good to her.

I think the C63 will go the way of the 300SEL 6.3 and the 124 500E as some of the Mercedes Milestone Sedans. I will probably keep this car or a better example in my garage for good.

gravedgr

Until my kids are big enough to sit in the back seat of another 911 without the full size car seats.

longbow0404

This is a keeper... Im probably buy another car as a daily driver but this car will stay in me garage as my GTI does.

DTMCLK

Until the end of Petrol century

jvanbrecht

Until mine dies.... I am not stinking rich

benyl

Until the warranty runs out. I might even buy the extended warranty.

Sincity

Agreed. I owned it for about 11 mos with only 1900 miles. Planning on keeping the miles low. Another MB? Sure....I'll replace the RDX with next-gen GLK.

HBC350

I promised the wife that I will keep this one until 6 months before the CPO warranty expires. And for once, I meant it. This car is a friggen monster that makes my kids and I smile whenever we drive it.

I was sitting at Chipotle the other day and saw a service employee of the local Honda dealer walk by it with a colleague and the guy shook his head and said to his friend... "see that car? that car is a beast." And you know what, he's right. It's the most exotic car I've ever owned and I anticipate enjoying it for a while longer than most of my cars. I bought it right (18 months old, 9K miles, CPO and about $16K or so under MSRP) so I should be able to get out after 3 years and be in a good position to get something else that's a kick to drive.

I'm not loaded like some of you guys and I can't just go from one exotic to another on a whim. Just doing alright and living the coastal So Cal dream. It's expensive around here.

Dads C63

Will probably keep this one in the family a long time. I've owned a number of performance cars like Vipers and a few other American muscle and this is my overall favorite. This was bought as my DD because my company is German owned and we have visitors frequently. Been good to have as a DD and then we began to modify it just playing around. As some of you have stated its a monster and gets a lot of attention at the track and car shows. First night at the track in Gainesville Florida we ran 12.2 bone stock and thats fast in a four door. When is the last time any of us owned a four door sedan that now runs low 11's, willl run over 180mph in the standing mile, road race along side of the porsches and other track cars, makes over 20mpg on the highway, and you can take the wife to dinner in and carry on a conversation? Its a phenomenom if you ask me. With just a few more mods it will run 10's in the 1/4 mile and make over 200mph in the mile. Its an awesome car and I plan to keep it a long time unless someone wants it more than I do someday.

1900 miles! ah! i just past the 1 year mark at ~9200 miles and i get anxious if i dont get to take her out once a week...if i somehow get to 2 weeks depression sets in...
hopefully she'll be in the family for the long run

Sincity

I need to drive it more to get any warranty bugs out before time runs out.

hawtheric1

Baby's gotta go.....soon.
