sr666 Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 (edited) About 6 years and 3 months....and so far nothing has ever gone wrong, and it's never even had an advisory at MOT. 6's rule I hope that's true. Guess I'll find out soon enough lol Edited May 24, 2012 by sr666 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTsillycar Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 Had the GT4 about a month now, cost me a small fortune allready but, that's what you get for buying a cheap Faff with no mot :rolleyes: Had my Black GT for about 10 months which is an extrordinately long time for me. Made me fall in love with the Gen 6, great car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splinter Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 think its been about three years couldnt tell you with out hunting for the recipt. Love it still and as mentioned, love it when i see the reflection in big shiop windows, and the reaction she gets from joe public. Cant wait to see how she behaves after this current work from Se7en. She should be a pretty special beast by then. Have no plans to sell her, she will become more and more bespoke as time goes on. Rear drive and turbo power in the next year or so. Bring it on!!

YJ52 Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 current 7, 2 years 2 months - this ones staying till it dies!! previous 7 nearly 5 years - very, very reluctant sale would have kept that one till it died if life hadn't interferred with that plan :rolleyes: first celica was a 5 kept for a year........still regret selling it.............even with its blue interior would love a 6 to keep the 7 company!! But best be sensible I suppose! Every other car I've owned less than a year each, none being Toyotas I will add Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cravo Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 After flip flopping around for 3 years with cars owning 12 I have finally settled and love mine. I loved my 140 which I owned for 6 months last year but circumstances meant I had to sell. Had this one 4 months and will have it for years to come best car I've ever had. Coming up to 3 years in August, Still brings a smile to my face every time I'm in the car and catch a glimpse if her in a shop window. Love it. Can't help but look at myself in a shop window either lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
defrag Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 3 years, 3 months. Looking back, regardless of the self inflicted ups and downs, best thing I ever did. Shop windows, those circular reversing mirrors, reflections in other cars... always have to look Plus it helps having a fantastic bunch of nutters on here to help you keep the faith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canon4pics Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 1 year and 8 months so far. No plans to sell up anytime soon but I would like an S2000 at some point. But if the misses lets me spend some money on her anytime soon I may just go all out on this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serratia Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 1 year and 8 months so far. No plans to sell up anytime soon but I would like an S2000 at some point. But if the misses lets me spend some money on her anytime soon I may just go all out on this one Mate have you driven an S2000? They drive very similar to the 190, high revving, power at the top end etc The 2004 onwards model looks very good, but obviously only 2 seats and small boot. Depends how much you need the rear seats and boot, if you don't then the S2000 could be the way forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends how much you need the rear seats and boot, if you don't then the S2000 could be the way forward I know they drive very similar (although the 190 is a fair bit less on the acceleration and torque) and in all honesty my rear seats Never get used lol. Only ever me or the misses in my car and I rarely use the boot for much either tbh. Its not on the cards for at least a couple of years, and I do love my celica, its just one of my list of things to do is own an S2000 at some point lol.

Lee540 Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 (edited) 3 days.. quite different to my big 286bhp 4.4 v8 5 series... what it lacks in power,torque and speed it makes up for in fun and handling.. guess I'll be keeping it for a while!

Razorjack Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Feb 2005 - so 7 years 5 months. I would have sold it on in favour of an Evo7 or something old and American by now, but its not worth anything so no point selling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghoulie Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Since April 2010. Although I think Ive replaced most parts since then I think shes still spent more time off road that on it but no plans to get rid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
