Do they really die at 100k miles or whatever for the most part? I see fords and even crappy Tiburons still on the roads today that were made back in 2000. I know Ford gets a lot of crap, but haven't quality for them gotten better lately? Same with hyundai. They're almost respectable now from what I've seen and read. As long as the tranny doesn't blow, the engine doesn't grenade, or the suspension rust apart at 100k. Who am i to complain?

Oh dey don't transfer the manufacturer warranty to used cars? Dat sucks..

No idea about longitivity I never own a car more than 40-50k miles

You seemed to like that car a lot and it is just a winter beater.

Trust me, I looked. My exact model either has 200k miles on it for dirt cheap, or 13k+ for a low mileage from 2007. The base models aren't worth it. The other issue was that while i loved that damn car, it technically sucked. Rusted underneath easily, random stuff fell off underneath, and a lot of parts rattled like crazy. But my god was the steering and power beautiful. And was a tank in the snow.

And i just rolled past 25k miles... It's killing me driving it every day. I feel much more engaged and in love with it when I treat it to weekends and special occasions only.

Thats crazy they are still that expensive. I figured you could pick one up for $6K in good condition.

Right. The Z is my don't need to drive cause I don't need to car. Won't be fun owning her if I had to worry about dings every faking day.

kenchan · 09-19-2016, 03:13 PM

kenchan · 09-19-2016, 03:13 PM

kenchan · 09-19-2016, 03:15 PM

Leingod · 09-19-2016, 03:15 PM

Best I could find. Poor thing has def been used and abused beyond hell. And it's not even a G85 package with the LSD, full brembo kit, and PSi gauge.
