I really enjoy going to meets now and seeing the older Z's. I want to be "THAT GUY" one day.

I'm also 55 years-old, so a long time is a relative term.

Don't you dare sell yours. It's way too pretty.

Hard to say.
I've harder time thinkng about the cars I sold than even thinking about
selling my Z.Years ago(prolly older than the average forum member)I owned a 62'
E-Type Jag.Had to sell it because the clutch went out.The entire engine needs to be pulled to replaced the clutch.Did not have the funds.I do have a car I've kept
"forever",a 71'Lotus Europa.Mods give it 175hp in a 1,250 lb car.Wild.
I'd consider selling my Z if a new and much different Z platform came out.
I owned an original 240Z.That kind of "new".

I don't really intent to sell mine anytime soon ! nobody would even give 10k for mine anyway.. might as well keeping it and very shortly turn it into a dedicated track toy....

Unless I crash it badly, I will still have Megan for the next 10 years ,,, if we are still alive !! hehe

Pretty sure I'm never selling mine. Then again I drive it 500 miles a year (if even that much) and it gets stored in the back of a warehouse 24/7 365 so eventually I'm sure I'll forget I even own a Z.

#firstworldproblem I don't have enough space at my house for all of the cars so my Z is stored in a warehouse at work. I daily a 2002 Honda Accord for the gas mileage.

Weekends I use either the BMW X5 or the Porsche 930.

Nothing wrong with that! When I was single and bought my house I thought my 2.5 car garage was great! Now that I'm married with three cars and in the middle of wintergeddon, I told my wife the next house can have no less than a 3.5 car garage.

I just made a pretty strong commitment to mine, thoughts of moving to a different car in 5 years just went out the window. its going to take something majorly cool (like the supra concept) to move me now

90 ST · 02-06-2014, 07:34 PM

as soon as I get to 250,000 miles mine is gone! So about 2 more years. I'm already looking at what to replace it with. As for my first car, I still have it, it's been 20 years.

What say you, my Z brothers and sisters??

I have read that Jay Leno has never sold any car he has ever bought!

Me, I'm not actively going to try to sell my car, but since I've gutted it and turned it into a pure track car, I'm probably keeping it a while. However, if someone at the track offered me 20k for it, it would be gone in an instant.

VCuomo · 02-06-2014, 09:28 PM

At some point I know I'll sell mine (or if the right offer comes along

), but after almost five years I don't have any plans to sell it anytime soon! I still smile when I walk up to it!

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.
