Getting rid of my Z. Any recommendations for a replacement?

Unless you doing a intensive engine work the rest of the maintenance is really a no brainer. Regular maintenance like oil change, brakes can be done by yourself.

I don't see the Z having a lot of maintenance involved....

The other like maybe a 75K checkup I would take the day off if needed and take it to the dealer or a Nissan Shop....

It finally came in. Interior/exterior in very good shape (as advertised). Two barely noticeable parking lot dings in the paint that should be an easy repair. Stereo sounds good but not quite as good as the Bose (and only holds one CD). Trunk is quite large. Seat is not quite as comfortable as the Touring but I may need to tweak it a bit.

It has a bigger side rear window but it's still a PITA when backing up because the rear pillar is so freaking big.

Handling is a little better than I was expecting - may only need to upgrade sway bars to make it acceptable. Has plenty of power for me but I can definitely tell that I've gained 1000 pounds.

All-in-all it's not the sports car that the Z is but I think it will work well for me. Especially after I upgrade the suspension a little.

I can do most of the maintenance myself but the Z is such a PITA to work on that I'd just as soon pay someone else to do it. I stuck my head under the Challenger real quick and think I have enough room to change oil/filter without putting the car on ramps/stands. If not, one of the Chrysler dealers in the area should be more than willing.

Yeah. I've gotten really lazy in my old age. I used to love rebuilding motors and transmissions and any other work on a car. Not so much nowadays.
