Flipping z's
After researching nissan z cars , is it me or there seems to be alot of three four owner cars . Is the the norm? or seems unusual ? Im wondering if owners get tired of their z cars fast . A bunch i was following first owners bailed in under 5 k miles whats with that . ? Makes you wonder at best . Any thoughts from readers, owners etc ? im still looking for the right one for me.

I'm wondering what your criteria is for searching. I'm imagining cheaper prices, more owners. Bailing under 5k miles could be an impulse buy or they jumped ship for something else. I know someone who bailed after having it for 1 year for the mustang 5.0. 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.
|
Are you talking about 370 or 240 or even the 300?
|
In my Altima the GM of the dealership was the first owner of my car. He drove it for under 10k. So that could be a possibility.
|
i bought mine with 7k miles from a guy that was only driving it on weekends.
|
Leases, purchased when income was good and then things changed, repo'd, "want Ammurrican V8 muscle instead", found self needing a back seat, etc.
As to whether you find this more for Z's relative to any other car (or at least any other "specialty" car), I have no clue. On that note: I know of a beautiful MX-5 with low miles that has had like four owners in three years... a two-seater sports car ain't for everyone. |
I just think a lot of people either buy them as weekend toys for a while and then sell them for something else or end up coming to a point in their life where a 2 seat sports car is just not practical for them.
I don't think it's any indication of something wrong with the car. |
wtf is going on in here!! :mad:
|
i got mine with 15000km on it (2012 model purchased in 2014) so it had maybe 3 years of driving at most prior to... he 'had a family' and needed to get a 'family car'.
this seems to happen a lot. impulse buy on a sports car (2 seater at that) and then they realize they need 1.. 2.. or maybe 3 extra seats for the little buggers. in my opinion, it's great because you get a deal on a gently (relatively) used car. |

We bought ours new and put 68K miles on it in four years of ownership so far :driving:
I will never understand people that buy cars on impulse (I expect that is the majority of Z owners that dump it quickly). But it could be a good opportunity to pick up a new-to-you Z in like new condition for a decent price since it has already depreciated a fair amount. |

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."

some folks get anxious trying to keep the Z all nice and clean all the time and they burn out. :rofl2: amatures!! :mad: |
I just rolled mine....
|
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. |

This was about the 370z my bad for not indicating , yeah im gonna find one for me , all good followup replies from readers no one real reason of course ..... Thx d
|
The Z is not necessarily a practical car even for single people. It is an awesome weekend car but as a dd somtimes can be inadequate. But he is so cute/sexy I'm gonna hold on to him a bit longer!
|
Yea, my '09 only had 7800 miles on it when I purchased it in September of 2012. Not one issue with it so far, and I'll live in it before I sell it :icon23:
|
Damn those flippin Z's!! And don't even get me started on the G's...

However, driving it in the snow is stupid; that's what 4WD is for. I've seen Z's smashed into guard rails because their owners thought the laws of physics didn't apply to them. |
