Any owners who will NEVER sell their Z??
 

So I come across this article where this actor says that he will never sell his first car...a 1963 Porsche 356.

Although I really enjoy my Z, I just assumed that there would be a day when I would sell it. This article now has me thinking though. I actually do consider my blue roadster a classic that could be worthy of an always keep/never sell car.

What say you, my Z brothers and sisters??

I'll keep mine for ten years or so, then make a decision. If I've got the space to mothball it, I will. I've only regretted selling one of my cars, and that's because the idiot I sold it for blew it up three weeks later.

And if I owned a 356 I'd never sell it either.

I sell/trade my cars in about 6 months after I'm done paying for them...seems to be the time **** starts to break and not worth keeping.

never is a pretty strong word

I can see the Z going from daily driver to weekend toy at some point. Then it's time for a big power build. Either that or it becomes the new track slut. I usually keep cars long enough and mod them enough to make them worthless anyway, so I might as well keep them.

Mine will be kept forever, paid off and is mine.

Everyone has a price.

I would agree with that, but for someone who intends to keep a car forever (any car), parting with the car is a high cost and usually inflates the price to a level no one wants to buy it at.

Honestly, if someone came up to me and offered some crazy amount I would consider it but could not part with my car.

never ever!

I won't say I'll never sell it, but I damn sure will never part it out back to stock. :rofl2:

I plan to keep my car for until she dies (not by car accident but drivetrain failure). I plan to keep all my OEM part for every add on I put on my car too. I'm going to make her a classic. This is part of the reason why I bought a Nismo. It's a real nice car that is and will be a nice car for a very long time.

I was going to keep my Mustang forever since it was my first car. Unfortunately it went off the road last month and hit a sign before I was able to complete the build.

So if I offered you 1 billion dollars for you Z, you would turn that down? :icon14:

I know it's not realistic but still, one billion would be a lot to pass up over a 30k Japanese mass produced car! :p

What is this "stock" you speak of. :rofl2:

I think it's another word for "slow".

Ok you are going into unrealistic territory on the offer.
The way I would weight the offer is like this:
~Does the offer cover the car plus everything I have done
~Does it add money because I don't want to sell but buyer is willing
~Finally, with the offer could I rebuild the Z as is plus have spare money for another car

Basically the last one sums it up, so in the real world if you came here and threw down 80-100k I would consider it because I could buy another Z and build it again for fun (maybe change a few things up) plus have some cash left over to do more or pick up another car. If you came in with an offer for 40-50k I would pass.

I like my '09 Touring - a lot - but it's just a car. I've owed several cars that I wouldn't mind owning again (1967 ('68?) Dodge Dart GTS, 196x Ford Mustangs, 1979 Chevy Camaro Berlinetta, &c) but no emotional attachment. I'll probably keep my Z until maintenance gets too high. That could be tomorrow or ten years from now.

I won't say never because Justin Bieber told me not to, but I don't plan on selling mine. I'm in the same boat as Dreamer. If someone offered me a billion dollars for it, I'd take that lol. You'd be a moron not to. I'm saying if someone offered me what it's worth, I wouldn't take it because its worth more to me than money.




I have sex with my car.

:iagree:

It would have to be enough to build the car the way I want it knowing what I know now using currently available parts, retail prices for anything I bought under market, any labor I paid and a premium for my time. Bring me $100k and I'll sign the title over today. :rofl2:

Will keep mine forever!:happydance:

Not planning on selling mine, this is my first sports car and as long as I have room for her, she's staying, even though my next car will be an upgrade. I'd like to keep this around for showing me how much fun a sports car can be.

:wtf2:

Not too sure about the 370, but I will NEVER sell my 83 280ZX. She was my 1st car. I have heard too many stories of "man I wish I would have never sold that car." So why sell it, just so I can one day say, "man I wish I never sold that car. No one will ever offer me what she is worth to me anyway.
She is getting a complete overhaul right now anyway. Once I get far enough I will start posting images of what she is going through.

Only thing I would sell this car for is for a GTR

With the bullshít I have been through, I'm never selling, either it will be kicked every day to start with hopefully 150k+ and die at 200k+ or it will be totaled.

My prediction: None of you will still own your car in in 10 years. 3/4 of you won't own your car in 5 years.

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

I have had my 280 for 25+
Care to bet?

I will take that bet.
My car is paid off and if I need something else (say a kid comes along), I will just pick up another car I required.

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

I will either sell my Z someday to make room for another (sports car) or utilize my currently rented space, to store the Z and likely other cars in my future.

With all this talk about the new C7 and the 2015 625 HP Z06, my original plan of 10-15 years may go out the window.

If I was offered $30,000 for my 2009 Z, or offered a 2014 in trade I'd keep my current car as is. At $50,000 it is a goner.

After my lease . $18,000 buy out... No thanks! This car was a big let down I had major plans for twin turbo fast intentions and everything but no thanks.

I plan on keeping mine. Its always nice seeing old cars in great condition still driving better than some of the newer cars on the road in worse condition

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 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.

30k for a 2009 and you didn't drop it like a hot potato? I didn't even get that for my 2011.................

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.

There are some cars I would hold on to. The one I saw yesterday was a 2 gen 300Z twin Turbo. I would hang on to that car and the owner felt the same and would not sell it to me.
I love cars and most consider me a car guy but I also do not get too attached any more. I like to have didfferent experiences and you can't do that if you hang on to just one car.

Sure you can. Just because you hang onto this car (for example), it doesn't mean that you cannot get another, different car.

Especially after said first car is paid off.
