Don't worry two schools of thought. If its a DD your fine..
imho cars are made to be driven. the Z is not a car that will gain any value through the years with low mileage. unless you plan on keeping it for 20 years
you have already taken the hit enjoy it. my 09 is at 35,000 and it great shape. if i tried to trade today with a low mileage z i bet it wouldn't bring more than an extra grand in trade in value... jmo

I agree on everything you said. I usually keep all my rides with low miles except for a daily beater. That has always worked well for me when it comes time to sell off a car. I have always sold/ priced my cars at or in the range of dealer retail than pricing for sale buy owner.

Example: I have a 2000 Prelude Vtech that has around 50700 miles on the car. I have 4 people interested in it right now. They are just waiting for me to say I am selling it. They alreay know the car will not be priced in the For sell by owner Edmonds online price range. Their is always a buyer willing to pay retail to an individual if the car is extra clean and low mile. Why let the dealer make the easy money on extra clean rides.

A real honest question: do miles really matteR?

Yes... but they aren't as big a deal as one might think.

Imagine this: 30,000 miles in local roads and highways with light average traffic vs. 30,000 miles in bumper to bumper traffic...

The latter might have 4-5 times the running time of the former.

2k miles per year. I've got other fast toys to drive besides my Z.

srbrubak · 10-22-2011, 12:23 PM

Had mine for 11 months now. Have 6800 miles on the odometer. I will be putting it away for the winter here soon. I am trying to keep it under 7500 miles a year because I can get a discount on my insurance if I drive it less than 7500 miles a year.

cjeezy · 10-22-2011, 01:09 PM

27,000 miles and climbing! Who the eff cares about low mileage. This car is made to be driven. I had an 03 350z before this and it had 90K miles on it when I sold it...and it still ran perfect at that time! Nissan built a great engine. It will last, so drive it and be grateful because you never know if one day you won't be as fortunate to own one!

kenchan · 10-22-2011, 01:13 PM

mine's a tad over 7K. original owner since aug09.

Thechidz · 10-22-2011, 01:19 PM

I put 40k miles on a murano in a little over a year
