Keep the monte and buy a few more. doesnt look like anyone will ever make a coupe I fit in correctly in the US anymore. So I will save up and buy a bunch of low miles montes one at a time.

I've had it for 5 years and I'd like to have it another 5. I'm doing all I can to take care of it. I'm planning a "mini-restoration" including gettnig headlights, a new steering wheel, repainting it, and that's about it. My wheels were getting to looking like crap but I've already repainted them. I also repainted the black trim on the mirrors and the doors.

Keeping mine as long as humanly possible.

I already have a new daily driver, but I will hopefully be replacing the 98 Camaro with a 5th Gen soon.

The hard part is going to be when I get the 68 permanently, if I will be able to keep both. But that is hopefully not for a very long time.

I'm def keeping mine forever. It's been my partner in crime for a little over a year now. Couldn't imagine not having it. I take care of it as much as I can, but it being a dd, and my sandy driveway, it stays dirty. And ill admit, iv bumped into a few things. Both times it was at night, and I couldn't see out the dark Windows. Backed into a tree the other night. $400 to repair. Not too noticeable, so I'm gonna hold off on fixing it. I thought I wouldn't love it as much afterwards though. My sister said she never felt the same about her new mustang after she wrecked it. Then it got flooded. Lol. But I still love my car like a first born child. It turns quite a few heads, and gets tons of compliments.

Probably keep mine for a good 4 years or more depending on if I want another car payment or not lol. My dream car is a Toyota supra though, so until I get the money for that ill be driving this. I love my car though very comfortable and sporty.
