How long will you KEEP your 350Z?
Everyone has talked lease vs. loan for months now...
But I'm wondering: How long do you plan on keeping your new 350Z?
2, 3, 5, 7, 10 years?

Depends on the roadster -- good chance that I'll just have this Z until the roadster is released in the spring, if it's sweet.
Though it's tough to give up a collector's piece...#690, first year model...

It all depends really. As most car buffs, you always have that desire to keep your first new car indefinately, show it off to your kids, take it for a spin when you are fifty. But then something better comes along. My first new car is a 98 Integra GSR, but now I am selling it to buy the Z. Now my desire is to keep my first new car that I am actually paying for (parents bought me the Integra), but again, only time will tell.

I have a simple formula, my wife and I have two cars, I keep each car 10 years and try to buy a new car every 5, so I always have one car betwen 0 and 5 years, and one between 5 an 10. My algorithim is thrown off a little bit by the release date of the Z, because I bought my Maxima in 2000. All well, maybe I'll only keep the Maxima 8 years so I will be back in sync.

I'm looking at a lease originally but this is my dream car and I've been waiting to buy a Z since I was something like 13. I would like to keep the car for as long as I can (ie. a second "special" car in several years). That's the plan anyways not to sell it.

It all depends on whether I love or like the car. If I just like it, the 350Z probably won't stay more than a few years. It really is an impractical thing for me to own. My wife won't be able to drive it and I won't even be using it for commuting. The main use will be for weekend driving and road trips where I don't need to haul much gear. After we have kids, it will only be useful for weekend driving.
If I love the car, that will be enough reason to keep her around.

I'm looking at keeping it for 3-4 years. My ultimate plan is to wait for the Skyline GT-R or new Audi S4. Then, i'll buy which ever one like better(Yes, i know the Skyline will be better, but i love the S4).But, a lot of this can change in 4 years. But thats my plan.

I kept my '91 300 twin turbo for 120,000 miles and my second for 70,000. The thing that will determine how long I hang on to the 350 is whether or not they introduce a super or turbo charged verision in the next few years. If yes - I'll trade for that. If not - who knows? I drove nothing but twin turbos for 11 years...

While my father has managed to keep his 240z for 32 years, in all honesty, I will probably pursue an FI 350z and trade mine in. Depending on how much hp gain there is, I might wait for the 2nd production year of the FI.
