How will you own your Z ?

ayrton88 · 09-23-2016, 08:32 AM

I've owned mine for 4 years now and I'm starting to look for a replacement. Nothing excites me that I can afford so for now I'm happy sticking with the Z. Only have 37k on it so no hurry to get rid of it. I'm an old guy too and happy to report that I can still handle a manual without arthritis bothering too much. I hope the day never comes when I need an auto.

Target was and still is 250k miles. Same as when I bought my 96 Tacoma which is now at 265k. It had 249k when I bought my Z. Z is around 65k now so, 1/4 of the way.

Now there's a plan!

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.

I agree, "nothing excites me that I can afford"
A lot of great stuff out there, but the money!
