Definition of "a Keeper"
Discussion
Definition of a car being a "Keeper"; Whenever I hear it, read it or indeed as I have recently myself stated, means that as of this minute and for the foreseeable future, I have no intention whatsoever of ever parting company with this car.
We all realise that what is unforeseen but accepted, is that circumstances in the future will more than likely change in a way that will mean that one does indeed 'part company' with the car. However, the original statement when made 'she's a keeper' I interpret as a clear, unequivocal declaration of intent, a level of committment that has intrinsic appeal.
Dunno what you think.

Well put Bob,
I always use the terminology "its a keeper" to bamboozle the Wife into a false sense of Karma when ever a new sneakily devised plan
has entered my head to buy yet another Motor Car.
She's fallen for it about 52 times now at the last count,bless her, I think she knows really and is just playing along in good heart

.The amusement of course is always where someone buys a car and then says, "I will be keeping this one" or, "This will be my last car". Then after three years, when the warranty runs out, they are tempted by a replacement, and make the same statements again. Perhaps the expenditure was a stretch, and they don't want to face that again.
After how many years can one genuinely say, "Mine is a keeper", and who on here has had the longest keeper?
How about 47 years. Could that qualify as a REAL keeper?

Lol, if that plan works on them all, it's got some value! Certainly I'll have a copy please, my Vantage was bought on the agreement that I would not be "chopping and changing it in the future" . Mind I had my fingers crossed at the time which everybody knows gives me a get out clause I always use the terminology "its a keeper" to bamboozle the Wife into a false sense of Karma when ever a new sneakily devised plan

Aaaaand Mr Wishu wins at the Internet
I do not intend for the foreseeable future to part with my DB9. It's a 'keeper'. Nothing else I want that I can realistically afford to buy cash, so 458 and Aventador Spyders are out.
The Morgan I am very fond of but it could be chopped for something else at any time, but probably not any time soon. They are a great pairing of cars

Well excellent news. This is indeed good fortune. The easiest blag ever Our OP Bob, will introduce you to his friend, who wants to give away an almost new Vanquish, for just a fraction of the new price.
Perhaps best to tell your wife, that it will be a keeper. Ed50 intimates that this line works very well with wives.

When calculating your offer, remember you must be fair and adjust for the above, unless by that time Mr. Cockernee has already spent it on the Vanquish.

What are you on 10% ?
Don't forget "wear and tear " in the calculation .
