As an owner, I thoroughly enjoy the car and will most likely be keeping it for a long time considering the only thing I could consider worth the money\upgrade would be a porsche.

I'm with you on that.

Its probably people buying the 370z for impulse then they can't afford it and they let it go. I enjoyed my Z and will be keeping it for a long time.

I think a lot of people trade it in after their first winter with the car, or the fact it isn't everyone's cup of tea. if i'm asked about my z I say "the ride is rough, it has huge blind spots, no cargo room, it's hard to get in and out, and totally sucks in the winter. I wouldn't trade it for anything."

The car isn't that bad with a dedicated set of winter tires/rims. I went through the entire winter without losing traction at all. Ground clearance becomes the biggest problem as the sport chin spoiler becomes a plow after 5" of snow.

Funny because I purchased my Z with 5900 miles on it. I was questioning and wondering why it had such low mileage. I was guessing that it was because the person couldn't afford but I don't think that's a valid reasoning for a lot of people...

yep, my z has 17k miles and 6yrs old, single owner. i put roughly 3-4k miles each year at most.

i only take her out when i feel like it.
