Ever Vette I had, I said this is the one to keep forever. However sooner or later that feeling wears off and I am looking. Most likely will keep the C-5 for another 2 years or so then go to a C-6.

I wouldn't even venture a guess. I have no idea how long I will keep a car. I bought new cars that I only kept for as little as three months, and for as long as twenty years.

6 mos to 2 yrs, or whenever the urge to get a C6 becomes overwhelming.

I plan on keeping my C5...until the end of next week when my C6 arrives. I loved this car, and I hope I like the new Z51 at least as much.

This is my 4th vette (1st C5) and I've averaged keeping the 1st 3 for 3 or 4 years. I'll probably be looking at a C6 in the next few years if my mind can ever accept them as well as it does the C5.

I had planned on keeping mine a long time. A C6 test drive ended that dream.

I have always been the same way, 3-4 years max and I'd want something new. Going on 6 years now with the C5 as my daily driver and have no interest in anything new...unless someone wants to buy me a Ferrari
