Why?

Unless I total it. It will always be.


Because Racecar.

So for everyone that says they will NEVER sell it.... If down the road in a few yrs, you can afford something much better, much more hp and performance than your Z will ever be, you would still keep it around? I am talking about 911, supra, gtr, zr1... and what if you can upgrade into an exotic?

Here is how I look at it:
Yes I would still keep it, because most likely my next fun car, be he high HP 2 seater (or 4 seater), I will not tinker as much as I did with this car. My Z is my true toy and mess around with car, can always go out and play with it, wrench on it myself.

Sometimes once you buy into a certain category, unless you really play to mod it, it is worth letting the tech handle a lot of the work at that point. Mainly because people buying the car after you, if ever, want to see those service records on that Porsche 911 or something.

If I'm looking to upgrade to something exotic, the $10-15k I'll get from selling the Z would be a drop in the bucket. At that point, gut it and build it for track and keep the exotic for a weekend toy. That's how I ended up with my current track car. The $5k it was worth wasn't worth selling it.

I'm going to take a wild guess and say that your favorite color is blue :rofl2:

I can afford a Supra. Anyone who bought a 370 can afford a Supra... I wanted something with a warranty while in school.

The problem with most people I know is that once they upgrade to the other cars listed, they don't DD the car... Sooooo, it's not apples to apples... Then again, I haven't a clue why people buy a 370 and weekend drive it either...

If I could afford a new-ish GTR (I'd have to buy under warranty) I'd only sell the 370 if I got a good offer on it, I wouldn't sell it for 15k if it was the last 15k to get a GTR. Not much of a Corvette guy, and I have no idea why you'd BUY a German car


My next car will be a DeLorean, or a classic 65-70 fastback Mustang, in which I'll be keeping the 370

Any owners who will NEVER sell their Z??
 

The Z is my first sports, and I lucked out and picked a good one, now I'm hooked and there will be many more sports cars to come. My next sports car will probably be a slightly used GTR, but I plan on keeping my Z for nostalgic reasons. I want to be 50 years old with a stable of high performance cars and point to the Z and say that's what started it :)

Then I will have 3 sports cars, time for a bigger garage.

Sell the Z
 

Probably not. Maybe if I get a C7 though.

GTM has $8200 of my money so if someone wants my car they will pay that premium also. By the time GTM ships me something the buyer will have forgotten about it or resold the car. :shakes head:

I still have my very first car, a grey market 81 BMW 635 CSI. My dad first bought it when we moved to the US in 91. Got handed down to my older brother when he got his license, then to me when my parents bought him a car. I started trying to restore it but my money from working minimum wage quickly dried up. 10 years later I still have. It does cause problems moving around and finding a place to store it, but I have a lot of memories attached to it. Never going to sell it. The Z, probably the same position. We'll see.

IF I had been , and never was , offered $30K it would be too much work to go out and buy and set up another Z.

I like a variety. So yes, I will keep my Z when I find something new and flashy that I like. I don't see a point in trading it in. I don't need the money and it holds more sentimental value than anything else.
