I notice some of you have had your S197's for a good amount of time. I lurked on this site for years until I finally bought a 2006 GT several years ago. I love the car, but she has 130K miles on her now and I am starting to have annoying little problems. Lights work 1/2 the time, A/C fan only works on high, Tinting bubbling on windows, clutch is a little sloppy, door panels sagging...nothing major, just annoyances right now.
I owe exactly $0 for the car, so that is a plus. The car has had a few upgrades, but is mainly stock. But....
The new ones are so damn fine, I was wondering how some of you stay strong and don't trade up? Is it your wives, is it the money, or do you just not want a new car note? I ask because I am constantly wanting something different and have yet to stay with any vehicle more than a few years. I have had 7 Harleys since 2000 and countless vehicles. My wife is ready to castrate me. I always justify it by saying I make the money to afford it...but, it is a hassle at times always toting a care note around.
So, do any of you have advice or tricks to keeping the same car for a while, or is it worth it to buy the new one when you get the itch?
