Ive had my current one for 5, the one before it for 1 and the one before that for 2, but I have a 1992 Mercedes 230E which I bought in 1996. Thats 16yrs of ownership and its still looks and runs "mint", but to answer your questions, no its not a record, ( Nev beat you ) and yes you,re a sad old git.

[Karma Supra]

Yes.

I first bought my 3rd Gen in 2007, it was mint back then.
Kept it for a year then begrudgingly sold it (to a mate).. Three years later bought it back (No longer mint, but still ok).

I have still got it!

Looking at giving it a bit of an overhaul

I have plans for it, and was contemplating buying a later facelift truck instead, but I might as well keep this, as I've poly bushed it all, replaced all ball joints, sound deadened it, and it's the only colour I want (Black) and Limited spec.

[Predictable Bob]

Only had the one - bought it in June 2004 and have no intention of getting rid of it (Unless we trip over a bucket of gold)

Bought my first Surf a 1990 2.4 in 2001, no problems after 7 years of use n now owned by Madcampbell ..... n my latest Surf is coming up 5 years n approaching 200,000 !!

11+ Years of Surfs ..... n Faultless to a "T" is my Yota !!

And there was me thinking i was the only one who hadn't up-graded to a 3rd gen!! well done Nev / Bob,
Alex! if you look in the dictionary under "sad git" it's got my name there

The winner (someone who had had their truck the longest and still has it) wins a closed end polished alloy center cap,!!!

Still on my first. Bought 8 years ago this January. 3.0 KZN130.
Wife has kind of nicked it though..

[smurfL6]

On my second Surf. First one I kept for a year till funds run out. This one had it 2 years and hopefully will either keep it or upgrade to a 3.0 manual......
