Finally hit 10,000 miles...going into storage for 2yrs

drew · 08-28-2011, 09:19 PM

Yep, had the Z for one year, finally hit 10,000 this week and this coming weekend will mark the start of two years in storage. Not that I wanted to do that; the military has other plans for me, of which do not include driving my car. 730+ days can't be too long...

As everyone said, be safe out there.

but as for storing the car for 2 years. Why dont you just sell it? dont let it depreciate and then pick one up when you can after 2 years?

You could sell the car and put the money in a bank account to generate interests on that amount.. It would be a good investment and you would get some money back instead of losing because of depreciation as daisuke said..

When you come back you could buy another one (used or new) or even a next-generation Z if it's out by then..

best wishes..

it should will be paid off well before I get back. It will then retire as my daily driver and I will probably get something more practical to drive to and from work. Something like a juke or some other A to B car.

Mine is going to 2 yr and have half of that mileage. Mine is looking to be in the same boat.

BTW, thanks for your service!

Thanks for your great service!

Had mine since last year, and only have 2k miles on it

Wow 2 years, be safe. If you do a search you can find alot of ways to secure that car. A sit like that I think might require draining of most fluids, removal of wheels and put up on jack stands.
