Why is this happening so much? (people selling their Zs)

mantella87 · 01-29-2012, 07:25 AM

I was washing my Z last night and it dawned on me... I am keeping this car forever.

I too have bought and sold many cars over the years but none of them have grown on me like the Z if this car can be trouble free (for the most part)then I will end up keep it for a long time.

LOL

But my version of trouble free is someone else's version of trade it in,b/c I work on cars for a living so it doesn't bother me to do a little work.

I felt the same way yesterday. I love looking at it, sitting in it, driving it, the appeal it gives me, etc... I haven't had a car like this in a while.

I've told myself I'd keep every car I've had forever... ha. Can't cure "car guy."

Though I know I will be buying another sports car inside of the NEXXXT 3 years. I know trading my Z won't be part of the package. I will be looking for a
1. Used GT-R.
2. The BRZ refresh with turbo engine???
3. A used EVO MR
4. Genesis coupe redesign
5. Camaro redesign?
6. 5.0 redesign?
7. Used R8 if they hit the sub 60k price range???

One of these cars will be my next after I turned my Z into a TT, 500rwhp A7 with a 100 shot of "the juice".

Before the Z, I had owned nothing but Fords...2001 Cobra (1 of 256..why I sold this one is beyond me), plenty of GT's but like Snakes709 said I got pissed off at my truck at the time(F150 Lariat) and went to the Nissan dealer and about 3 hours later drove off with a 350z. I fell in love with the brand right away and six months later traded it in for the 370z. I will never trade this car away. This is my baby. Problems are going to happen with any car you buy.

Yeah I'm willing to accept small issues as long as I can fix them!

That is was I was refering to, I don't think that any car is going to be "trouble free".

I think he was refering to recalls, a lot of TSBs, etc. that some cars have and would spend more time in the dealership or mechanic than driving it...

No what I was refering to was since I'm a Master ASE mech/master I-car Body tech I'm willing to do anything on my car as long as it doesn't cost me a arm and a leg.

Sorry

Another thing, I think a lot of cars that are 2-seaters (like the Corvette) have some folks only holding on to them for a short amount of time...
