I bought mine back in May of this year with 34 miles on it, 14 of which I put on it during the test drive, so 20 miles originally. Within the first two weeks, I already had an axle back exhaust on it and tinted windows. I've never considered a lease vehicle simply because it's impossible for me to leave anything stock... Ever!

I've never had a "set" period of time of when I would trade in my cars. It would just happen when it happened. And I have never completely paid off a car that I bought at a dealership (except for one), so a bank has always owned my vehicles.

I've only truly owned four vehicles, one of which was my very first vehicle when I was 17, a '91 Ford Ranger XLT extended cab that I bought outright from the dealership with part of my trust fund, an '84 Mazda RX7 that I got in trade for stock wheels and tires off of my '96 200SX SE-R, a '93 Geo Storm automatic (don't ask - also, the one and only auto I had or ever will have) and a '91 Mazda Miata that I paid cash for.

I would like to think that I'll keep my Z for a long time, and if it treats me right, I just might. I absolutely love this car and have never said or thought that about any of my other cars. But as times change, you never know what's going to happen down the road.

One thing I can say, this is the only car that I have done so many mods to in such a short period of time, and not cheap mods either! LOL

I ran mine until it was 250,000 miles and sold it about 6 months back, fun car, sort of miss it a little, but I have other toys and a sweet DD.

My Z is the second Nissan I've ever owned. A daily driver like all of them have been. I'm at vehicle #32 in my 48 year life - from Triumphs to Cadillacs. My philosophy being love cars too much to not enjoy every drive, every day, whatever the weather. (I've done well over a million miles in life so far.) But my most recent circumstances require a 'middle of nowhere at midnight at 20 below idling for hours' level of reliability. So I've drawn an arbitrary line at around 100,k miles, or obviously any display of a lack of dependability.

While I love my first Z (a '13 sport), it's at +82,k. I'm anxious for a new Z because I fully enjoy it! But, if something new isn't forthcoming I'll sadly be off elsewhere.

You ran the life out of your Z :tup: and when it's time it's time!

I don't think I'll ever live long enough for the Z to become a classic, that said IMHO I think a un molested virgin is going to bring more $ than one that has been slammed and jammed through out its life time :driving:

The plan is to keep it until they take my license away from me. Kept my first Z for 11 yrs.

And that's why I have all my oem parts. Heck, I have most of the OEM screw nuts and bolts for that matter. I'll never revert her back to OEM but I can if I wanted to.

I bought my '14 NISMO new (in April '14)...have had it now for 2 1/2 years. I've only got 780 miles on her so far. I'm going to keep it stock. It would be interesting to see what it might be worth in 10 or 15 years with very low mileage.

I'm in for the long haul. I never vehicle hop, I always hold on to vehicles for a long time.

This is what attracted me to the car, love the cockpit. It's a fun toy. But if you really want a spartan car, get a Lotus. Would love an Evora, but I think it would cost far more to keep it running. The Z is really simple to work on & rather reliable. That's 2 big pluses right there ;) A lot of bang for the buck when you have a car that will rail corners & still be able to get the rear end silly when you want. Is it perfect, no but it fits the bill for me & will for years to come.

YMMV :cool:

WOW 780 mi. I love the fact the miles are soooooo low & believe me I would be first in line ( shoving everyone else aside ) to buy it..... BUT don't you just want to drive it? My drive to work is a lot more fun in my Z !

I must say, it is an exercise is self control to not driver her more. When it comes to the morning commute, my mind is usually focusing on what I'm going to be doing at the office...and consequently, I'm not concentrating on 'the drive'. Racking up the miles on the Z sitting in traffic is something I decided I wasn't going to do long before I purchased the car. I'd much rather save the miles for when I'm 100% concentrated on the pure driving experience.

Plus, every time I get in it to drive, I feel like I'm driving a new car!

I agree, I did not buy this car to be a commuter, just another toy I don't have enough time to enjoy :cool:

Yep, it helps to keep the experience fresh ;)

Exactly!

8080 miles on my 2016 Nismo, plan on keeping her until she won't run anymore, and I'd still keep her to fix her up. Drove my girlfriend's car and the amount of useless tech in there kills me.

bought new 16 (9/28/15) will keep till end of 3 year warranty,,curious about newer replacement Z might have to offer...after 3 years im open to anything
from any automaker:excited:
