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

well that could be because you're not old enough to know wat adulthood is about to be a responsible father with kids. cant put 2 kids in a Z..while in motion at least.

Agree. I don't have any kids.....yet, but my Z is still a weekend car. I never understood people who buy sports cars as their DD. If I could only have one car, I'd get something sporty and practical.

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

Probably not. Maybe if I get a C7 though.

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.

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.

Too many what ifs, after paying on it for so long the idea of no car payment is awesome. Plus, the z is a well rounded sports car. I see no reason to sell it for nothing after paying so much.

I get attached to my cars. The Z I'd "love" to keep around as a car my son could drive one day (he's only 2 lol)

I loved my old Prelude so much, I parted it out down to the frame instead of seeing it driven by someone else lol.

If I couldn't drive my Z at least once a week (not counting winter storage) I'd sell it, I'm not one of those guys that can drive a car he loves only once or twice a month.
