Default How long you keeping your Z?

Selling mine for another car did cross my mind, but I may keep it for like 15 years and keep it clean. I may store it up when I get another ride and just keep on beefing it up. I think Z will become a classic in about a decade.

Probably forever. Ok, in all honesty I will probably get a new Z later on. If they ever quit making it I will get that last year for sure, unless the screw up the styling. Only thing I would consider trading it for now would be a new Z06. That's about the only car I really like right now that's even remotely in my price range, and even that's not in my price range.

i usually don't keep a car for longer than two years...the Z is a different ball game though. The Z is not for sale. Where can you find a car with similar performance and looks for about 25k?

I'll keep it until I get tired of it or the wheels fall off... Which ever happens first.

I'm sure it will be a classic, so I'm keeping mine. Imagine if you had an original 240Z that you purchased and took care of for all these years. That will be what your car will be like someday.

I'm keeping my as long as possible. If it starts giving me major trouble, then I'll start looking. But usually I keep my cars for at least 6-8 years.

Yah I definitely want to keep my Z. When I buy another car in the future, I'll probably end up turning the Z into a track-only car.

I plan on keeping mine forever too. If and when I buy another car, hopefully it will be another Z (4th) and the 350 will become a real track/Autox car.

I traded in my 03 for an 06 and plan on keeping it forever.
Even right now I don't drive it often, so i plan to keep it low mileage.

I'll probably hold on to my Z for about 4-6 years.

Or until it starts to give out after countless highway runs.

But one day your baby will turn into a toddler and then a kid and then a teen. After that you will have to give it up .
