Plan is to keep mine for a long time. Go FI after the 100K warranty is up.

 

Well said. Ive driven my 99 Camaro Z28 for almost 10 years and everyday I get into it I've enjoyed it....you go around once, it is a nice thing to drive the car you want within REASON!

 

nothing wrong with keeping your cars, but somehow i just got the impression of jealousy from the op.

 

I was going to buy a BMW 335 coupe, but decided I still like the Z better, so I just put some money in it to make it faster and better looking. Now I have the car I want ......the Z.

 

I'm definitley keeping my 350z MT for a long time no matter what. It took me this long to get it.

 

I paid 25k for my Z28 and its trade in is 4200 9 years later. ouch! Thats with all maintenance and only 86k miles on the clock

 

I'm saving my money for something else.. after i pay off the car. I'm not wasting my money and get stuck on more debt. I could careless about new cars unless they came out with something affordable and sporty such as hybrid models. ex. electric, bio diesel, hydrogen, solar panel, etc.. you get the point until then the Z shall be with me.

 

F*ck, i just traded my Z in today for an altima hybrid. Only got 15.5 for the trade in value on my 05 base

 

I plan on keeping mine for a long time. I'm doing about 2K miles a year so it should last a while. I hate getting rid of/trading cars.

 

the z will always be a bad *** car, it very well balanced. The engine is awsome and the body is sexy. You will see this car for a long time, im sad theyre stoping produccion of the Z, but happy that people are gonna stop buying it

 

The only cars I would sell mine right now to jump into would be:
Lotus Elise
Legacy GT-R

Neither are likely to happen in the near future.

 

I will be keeping my car for at least another 5 years. Give the 370Z time to mature and let Toyota try to come up with some competition.

 

+1,000,000 on the Elise. would do it in a heartbeat!

 

we need hybrid sports cars!!

 

the reason the resale on our z's suck are a lot of reasons...

300zx's started at like 36k.

350z's started at high 26k.

they made em too affordable for young dumb kids to do poor tasting modifications to them.

which explains the high price for the gtr's...

they also let it run for too many years... they should have ended the whole 350z thing 07... 08 at the latest... and if u say the 370z is a different car... ur kidding yourself.

get out of your z b4 its too late!!!

gtr and 370z will kill the value of the 350z....

unless your z is paid for, its best to sell it asap (if your are at all worried about value)

 

it's not worth selling imo, i rather just keep the car. ur better off doing that or u'll lose tons of money on trade in or sell. this is a collector car and I'm pretty sure later on in the future this car will become rare. at this rate with all the accidents going on. I don't know about you guys, but I don't like being in debt.. I think the 350z is a nice looking car and for what you pay it's worth it. I'm not looking to stack on more debt just to upgrade into another car. unless your just rich out the *** but that's not me! I rather save money for better things in life who knows FI in the future. as far as our economy goes were in some **** gas prices damnit!! grrr.

 

OMG the car is depreciating...its absolutely unprecedented!

 

every car depreciates regardless what make and model.

 

I was being sarcastic after MIKE DEGUZMAN's post.

 

Even Ferrari's depreciate...
