For every keep reason, I can think of a sell reason
Keep #1 I have a car I can track with #2 Car is only worth about 16K, there are basically no track cars I can get that is cheaper with the same speed. #3 Car has an unique color that I love #4 Car probably won't depreciate much more, selling it now vs. 5 years is probably only going to cost me $5K #5 I don't need to sell the car to buy the new one. Sell #1 I don't drive the car, it's a waste of money and space #2 I get myself a garage space, currently my other cars sit on the road. All my other cars are more expensive. #3 I have no reason for this car except to track it, but I won't have a track worthy car without this. #4 The car is never going to be a collectible and it is not likely to appreciate. Nissan should have discontinued this car in 2014, they are still making it. #5 At some point, I will probably need to do some repair due to the age. I got back in the car today. I would love to take it back to the track, driving on the street is frankly a pain. Also I have about $3K in aftermarket parts on it, I should try to get everything out before I sell it. Since I can't get any tax credit trading it in, I am going to sell it privately. Still, I was shocked at the 16K figure they gave me. |

Says it all. I've had a slew of great rides over the years. My life rule for cars/bikes/trucks is like with shoes - get a new pair, get rid of a pair. Memories will last forever. Happy memories! |

Sell the Z. Invest the money into coke, and meth. Big return if you don't get caught or shot. :tup:
:rofl2: |
Every Winter, while the car sits, I start to think about selling mine. Then, during that first drive of the Spring, I think "yea, screw that noise." If I drove mine as little as you do, I'd probably sell it.

Any chance you'll be moving to a more Z-friendly locale?

I am fortunate enough to buy another car if I really want to, but it doesn’t mean I should. This is especially true given the sports cars I get will be tracked. My dd are a little faster than the z on the road, so the advantage of the z will mostly be at the track.
|
I'd keep all my cars if space and money isn't an issue...
I miss my 350Z, yes. Would have it track ready by now... Or sometimes even my old Focus for the looks. EU-MkIIpFL was classic. That said, I will never sell my 370Z. |
Mine is driven year-round & i am only at the top side of the "Rabbit Hole" ,,, but plan to make a dive into it over the next few year's/as i really love this car & mods/up-grades are plentiful!

cossie, just make sure to take your time in the decision. Even though I love my current Nismo, I still kick myself in the head for selling my 2011 Nismo. Just take your time. :tup:

I don’t miss the 350 because it was Silver, I really like this blue. Still the coil over made the car a pain in the *** to drive on the street. Seriously consider going back to stock too
Btw I turn them down for now, but will sell the car eventually just not now. I can probably squeeze another 2k if I part it out |

I'd say if you have other fun cars to satisfy that part of your life or if that part of your life is coming to an end, sell it. I had the same sell reasons except #2. Just never drove mine after having a baby and had a good offer so I accepted. It's been about 6 months now and I really miss having a second "fun" car. I only have my daily now and while I barely drove the Z last couple years I had it, when I did, the sheer thrill of winding through the gears helped me relax. Did not have that this summer and wish I would've just kept it. |
Keep it and screw "the man" no payments (interest) and cheaper insurance, probably cheaper maintenance costs than a new more tech. Advanced vehicle too. Money is only A non issue if you can afford to buy the new vehicle outright. Paying interest doesn't equal financial freedom, EVER!
