So why is everyone selling their Z's?

TheGreatOne · 10-12-2012, 09:36 AM

I probably got my Z with odd timing

Just before having a baby, after a 65K wedding, living in a condo which requires me to rent a spot...

BUT, I love this thing, I have some "Z" fanboyism in me.....so she's not going anywhere...some people are just not attached to their car as much, I on the other hand get very attached, especially as its a car I've wanted for ages.

I would only get rid of it if it became a strain which in some ways it is, but I'll do whatever is necessary to keep her

I love the car for what it does and what it was made to do

Why sell?
The warranty was useless. ..breakdowns at 2 months old cos the car was so old!
Nissan/dealer sold me a NEW guaranteed 2010 made, car in August 2010.
They registered it with gummt as 2010 manufactured.
It took me 18 months to prove it was made in May 2009 (difficult to prove in Europe)
Nissan/dealer offer 2 years extra warranty (see warranty above: sense of humor neh?`)
"Nissan" is Nissan: All are unprepared to show their names....unlike the USA.
My son (wanted a GTR after owning a GTiR for years) soooo
he saw this lot taking place so bought an Audi S3 ... fantastic car with a DSG box.
My wife cancelled her order for a Nissan shopper and bought an i10 (also good).
I do not trust Nissan...or the dealership....or the car....what's next?

So how can one like a beautiful looking car, but of such dubious parentage?

OH! and they even delivered it in the wrong colour.

Personally I'm probably keeping the car for 5-6 years. I'm already bored of the power, and the amount of money spent for full bolt-ons/tune or boost comes with unsatisfying gains in terms of hp/$. For handling the curves and drifting, it does well, but the straights leave much to desire.

You need a Prius....

Yep, test drove one cause the wifey was interested in one. Once you press that button......bye bye Z! LOL

Wifey test drove it and said, uh uh. And she's coming from a minivan

I'm pretty bad at understanding what is sarcastic here and what is not. I love my Z like crazy, and I'm sure there are more people on this forum who agree with me than those who complain about their car.

But I guess those who are selling are doing so for no specific reason in particular besides that its time for a change.

Cause it's not the new mustang/camaro/STi

Z is the pretty you just want to fcuk, and not live with...impractical & a money pit!

Short story...

My car is somewhat down for some mods....got everything bolted up but still not complete. Some friends comes over cause they broke a shifter? Either way while fixing that. They wanted to hear my car....I turn her on....idles as any Z would. I get compliments, they ask me to rev it a little. I do, but the rear calipers aren't on so I'm getting the slip light....it's prevents full throttle as if I'm slipping!

I have a kill switch for my sensors....

I hit it and rev to 5k

Both of these grown men jump

Haven't driven it in months and I'll never sell it...
