Keeping mine forever here. I have a coworker who still has his 240 with 50,000 on it. I have spoken to too many people who regretted selling their Z's over the years. It's not about being the fastest or best built or even the most "bling". It's a Z, 'nuff said.
...BTW, my son---stationed at Laredo with the Border Patrol--- just bought an 'O4 Enthusiast on the 12th...Needless to say, he's mad about it!!! I'm planning on keeping mine till death do us part!

'O4 Touring Coupe: NO feathering, NO starting problem, FLAWLESS AT, NO PROBLEMO!!!
even if i never drive it again i'll keep it, assuming i get to do everything i want to do to it. at that point it will be a showcar or a track car but i'd do that before i sold it...
Had my 03 since 06. Lots of people said that they have had all kinds of problems, mine has 95k miles on it and no problems so far. I'll keep it and eventually turn it into a weekend ride. In the two years I'll be back in Germany, so I'll buy a hoopty for $300. I kept my 93 Altima until over 450k miles and she ran like new until my cousin begged me for it.
I love my baby. 4 years now and I got her new. I will drive the hell out of it and have fun doing it. Never sell it. My Dad has told me time and time again. He regrets every minute of selling his old cars he had when he was young. I want to enjoy mine when I'm old.
This is exactly the way I feel. I've talked with my dad too about all of the great cars that he left behind to move on to newer, better cars and now regrets deeply. Most of all his 1968 Mustang Fastback and Triumph TR6.
I guess I can't really make any guarantees yet, as I don't own a 350Z yet. Still shopping for the perfect one. My plans involve keeping it forever, a very long time at minimum so I'm forcing myself to be patient and wait until I find one that I know 100% is the one I want. The plan was to keep my Z32 300zx forever and add a DD, and god I loved that car, but it got hit and totaled and with the lack of good condition low mileage Z32's like mine was- I decided it was time to move on to the Z33 (07-08). I'm sure a lot of you guys on here are the same way, I become emotionally attached to cars after I put in some good time driving and working on them. After driving a few of them I can tell the 350Z will be no exception.
In 4 years or so when I'm done paying off whatever 350Z I get I'll add a DD, probably a Hyundai Genesis sedan, and let the 350Z take it easy for a while.
