Are you in a similar situation? The family/you have two cars and your S4 is your daily driver. At what point do you sell the S4 or dump it for your next ride?

I'm holding off for something, just do not know what right now. Guess I could drive the S4 into the ground before replacing it.

What are you waiting for that is reasonably priced?

Default Lol, tried to get away from it last summer...

Drove everything up to about $60K. Really would like a bigger car with the two kids but I'd have to keep this one too... the infiniti M45 wasn't out at the time. Probably a good thing as that looks to be a great car.

Still driving my S after 4.5yrs now, never kept a car more than 3yrs before. Planning on installing the Stg3 stuff that I've been collecting for 6mos in the garage and hopefully enjoying the car for a few more years I guess. Already planning on seats next... the money and insanity continue. This is such an awesome package.

Default Longest I've kept a car, the S4 (B5) is a keeper..

It's not worth enough to get rid of and there is very little that will replace it for "what I think it would be worth"

I feel sorry for all you with the slow and in your face colors, as Cactus will never grow old

Default As soon as I am done with modifications on the S4...I am selling it...

Ya right, I will be keeping for a while at this point....but who knows, things could change.

So far I really like it...I usually keep cars for about 4 years or so...I have a a few two year cars though.
