I fully agree, my Z has been a big let down to me. I expected (reliability) more than what this car has provided to me. Just getting 50,000 miles out of this car has been quite an event....this is my first and last Nissan product. Well at least, I can say I gave this brand a try.

We still have a 2004 Pathfinder and besides maintenance I've only replaced the ground cable to the battery because it wouldn't start, faulty for some reason. My 2009 370Z was great for the 6 months I had it. My 2010 370Z has never ever had a single issue. I've got 53k on it. My 2008 Titan is mechanically great, but the drivers power window stopped working and airbag light it flashing, but I'm pretty sure its the passenger sensor that went bad because when I ride by myself the light below the radio doesn't light up anymore saying "Passenger Airbag OFF". I've had good luck with Nissan and I actually totaled my 2009 370Z and walked away without a scratch, literally, so I love them.

I'll take that bet. Unless that hypothetical $100k offer pops up.

I will get rid of mine some day. No doubt about it. There are bigger and better fish out there

I fully intend to keep mine for a long time. I can see the day where I inherit it to someone, but I have no plans to ever sell it. My own appreciation for the car is more than it's worth. I've wanted a Z since I was a teenager who got a ride in a 240z. I really loved the look of the 300z too. Finally at a place where I can afford my own Z without worrying about it's lack of space.
That said, cars start to become expensive to maintain after about ten years and they don't make good daily drivers. At that point, it's time for a new daily driver and the Z gets kept in the garage and driven on the weekends. |

Don't have to sell. Someone without insurance will hit me and destroy my car long before I want to trade or sell.

I'll buy other cars. That's a certainty. I'll still keep the Z. By the time I usually sell the car, it's not worth much anyway. Might as well keep it at that point.

I am not going to lie though, before buying the BP kit, I really considered trading my car in for a STI. Until I sat in one, I could not fall in love with the interior. It just felt cheap. The car still has the same engine for so many years but have yet to improve on interior material. |

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.

I cannot say that I'd never sell it/get rid of it, but I plan on keeping it until it's paid off (seven more years) and maybe a bit longer (I enjoy no payments).
However, you never know the opportunities that may come along. |
