How long will you own your Yaris? - Toyota Yaris Forums

YotaYaris · 01-17-2010, 08:20 PM

How long do you think that you will really own your Yaris?
I am just asking because when I was younger I would change cars like underwear.
Now that I have this wonderful little Yaris I plan on owning it for 16 more years if all works out.

Peace

I drove my f-150 as a daily driver for 10 years and I still own it, so I am betting I get twice that out of this Yaris. I am not really into the whole selling your car thing so I will probably own it until it gets totaled out. Hopefully that wont happen though.

I found out how much money I had thrown way by owning then selling cars.

This is a great car and I hope to keep it around as long as it wants to be around.

I'm planning to keep my Yaris until it becomes mechanically unreliable or falls apart.

I am with my Eddie Rickenbacker-admiring friend, on average I keep my vehicles for about ten years...that is, unless my oldest son gets a hold of it!

I would like to own my "Yarrie" for at least 11 years, that is how long I had my "Callie" a 97 Chevy Cavlier.

That is my plan. I wanna be one of the few.

I will probably keep my Yaris until it hits 200k. I'm at 83k now, so almost half way through my ownership. I do not have a love affair with my Yaris and can think of many other sedans I would rather have.

I would love to own this car for 16 years... tho I hope it is not my daily driver at that time.

i suspect I will keep it as long as I can keep from getting in a wreck, and as long as stuff doesn't start to break on it. Once I have to start replacing parts every few months... then i'll be looking to buy a new econobox.

Phaeton · 01-17-2010, 11:26 PM

I'm probably going to trade mine in within the next couple of weeks on a Tundra.
I just moved, so I don't need to commute anymore. I need a truck for firewood.
It's been a great car for the last 3 years, I just wished it was a little more comfortable for a 6'2" person.

YAR1S · 01-18-2010, 12:07 AM

till it breaks down for good, If I require another type of vehicle, or if it gets in a wreck :(
