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

NewlyIMPORTed · 01-28-2012, 01:29 PM

I've been noticing that a lot of Z's are being sold right now. Why are so many people dumping their cars?

My guess is that 2-seaters are less practical overall. Especially in practice...

when you say "a lot" of Z's what do you mean? I'm always trolling Autotrader and Ebay and haven't seen very much of an increase in Z's listed on the internet. I've been watching Z's for about 2 years. I guess the older they get the more and more used ones will be out there.

I dont think there is a specific reason why this model vehicle would return to the used market any sooner than most other vehicles.

it's cheaper to buy a new car vs a new steering lock.

Maybe they try to dump the Z before the Screwing Lock Failure happen.

LOL

1- They might 2009 models that are running out of warranty or will be soon.

2- Most people are not really Z enthusiastic.

3- Some people like a new car every 3 yrs

4- Some people buy out of impulse then they realize that is not what they wanted.

That is very odd. You were only pissed at your Cobalt one day? Hmmm...

True true.. I myself tend to like change but I still like the exclusivity that the Z has compared to other cars. If mine was not totaled I would probably still have it.
