why are so many owners selling them on Ebay ? I love the car and would never buy one just to sell it on Ebay. Maybe it's not rocket science, but I don't understand.

 

They are probably looking for more luggage space.

 

A lot of new Zs have been sold and some people will simply find that a 2 seater is not for them. People have children and are forced to sell, the Z is not the best to drive in the snow without spending the money for good snow tires, etc... There are a lot of dealerships now that will also put their cars up for sale on Ebay. Lets face it, the Z is not a practical car and there are a lot of people that buy on impulse instead of thinking before they purchase.

 

How many of the ones on eBay are new & placed by dealers? My guess is a very high percentage.

A couple years back I was thinking new T-Bird (Thank the Lord the feeling went away) and checked eBay. At least half listed were dealers new product.

 

'nuff said

 

the z also qualifies as a "dreamer" car. there are alot of buyers that get this car even though they can't really afford it. when they reach a point where they can't make the payments, they're forced to sell. i've seen numerous people on this board mention that they're getting a 6-year loan, are really stretching their budgets, or are having to sell their car because they can't afford to keep it. it's too bad, because you know those people really love the car.

anyway, i'd imagine that where alot of the ebay cars come from. that, and dealer demo cars.

 

Do the math. If they are selling 30k Zs per year, you are bound to see a bunch for sale. Also consider that it is not very practical if it is your only car. Look at some of the reasons ppl have given on here as well, Kids on the way, too much money, First year production blues, etc. With interest rates near their all time lows and dealers looking to make deals, it is really easy for people to get talked into stuff they cant afford.

 

heck with that. I knew exactly what i was getting into when i bought my Z. I would never sell it

 

That is probably the dumbest thing i have ever heard in my entire life. There are alot of Ferraris, and lamborghini's on ebay too, are they bad cars? There are ATON of hondas and toyotas on ebay aswell, are they bad cars? Ebay is a market place, just like a car dealer. Its just another place to sell new and used cars.

 

People got to realize that the Z is a 2seat sports car. Its not for everyone. I plan to keep my Z for a long time. If I do have kids,I would get a beater car or something.

 

Some people are also opting for a car with a turbo straight from the factory. I've learned of a couple people from this board who get rid of their Z for cars like Evo or Sti.

 

I Love my Z!!!! No way im getting rid of it. I do recognize however that its not the most prectical thing in the world, thats why this week, Im getting a 1992 Explorer Eddie Bauer edition.....115K miles, great shape, for $2200 so now ive got my beater!!!!
