Rapidly decreasing value?

ayrton88 · 04-11-2016, 09:25 AM

I plan on keeping mine for quite a few more years. What I am concerned about is that there will be even fewer people that will know how to drive a stick by then. I can just hear the dealer if I wanted to trade, "well we can't give you very much because nobody can drive a stick". I already had that happen when I was trading my BMW for the Z. That was in 2012. Maybe it will be different with a sports car. Most Bimmer drivers are kind of wussy and can't be bothered shifting for themselves.

^ speaking of manual shifter is going to be obsolete.
Nissan had it again with its innovation...the prototype IDS coming out 2020 making driving skills a thing of the past.
Keep your Z for the next 30 years most people would not even know how to drive it.

Lots of Zs on the market means a buyers market which is good for all of us that want one. This will be the last car I will ever buy unless it is wrecked, then it's no good anymore.
