Hello! I've owned my 2005 6-speed manual Enthusiast since new. The last 7 years it's been a garage queen. Currently at 69,000 miles. One owner, not a single door ding, and all the mods were done by me between 2005-2009. I was on this forum everyday in my 20s (don't even have my old username), now married, 2nd boy on the way, and about to be the big 4-0. What a ride for 17 years! Anyone owned theirs longer?

 

Funny story, in 2005 I was torn between a 350Z and a Tundra. I thought "I could always drive a truck later, I want to drive a 350z while I'm young." Fast-forward, my daily/family hauler is a 2019 Tundra Platinum 4x4. I got both my desires eventually I guess.

 

great looking car. Ive always liked the Z33 ever since it came out but was never able to afford a car like that back then. Im 42 now and finally got into a Z33. Good to see people that keep their cars. I assume that that Z will go to one of your boys?

 

I think kornercarver has ya beat, can't remember

 

Shortly after I turned 40 I ditched the imports and got a c6 z06 corvette....been amaerican muscle since then for me

 

I was really into the import seen late 90s through about 2010... 240zs then S13 and finally S14s then I got my house and kids started private school and couldnt afford cars so sold them. Should of kept at least one of all the cars i had. Now i got myself a stock 350z in pretty good shape.

 

I would be interested to see how long kornercarver has had his. I assume at this point, it would only be people who have owned 2003/2004s that have owned one just as long if not longer. Not sure yet if it'll go to one of the boys when they learn to drive but definitely teach them to drive a manual with it.

I have kept it for the sake of nostagia and have no reason to sell it (I have the garage space).

 

Bought mine early 2005, at 40k miles.

 

I do remember you as a frequent poster.

 

I’m a pre-order ‘03 (ordered the car late ‘02) performance model owner and I don’t think I’m the longest owner here by a long shot.

 

Wow. I haven't been here in a long time. I figured most owners moved on and sold their cars. I guess not then. Are you still enjoying it regularly?

 

2004.5 model
ordered Feb 2004, so 18 years, but definitely there are longer owners
17.5k miles (28K kms) - 3months of year summer only car
not worth selling

 

I wish… one of those builds that never materialized that’s still sitting in the garage.

 

Ironically, I pre-ordered my Z33 back in January 2001 after hearing about the return of the Z at the SCCA Runoffs in 2000. But ordering a track model in Redline meant that my Z didn't arrive until October 2002, so plenty of other pre-orders arrived before mine. Still, it's been a joy since that time and even though I live in Colorado, it gets driven almost every week. Plenty of mods, and the Z reflects my taste and preferences in cars:

 

Picked-up mine Dec 9 2004

153K+ miles. Still fun. Trying to kill it. May succeed this year.

 

Had mine as a Birthday present in April 2004 so 18 years with it. Still my Garage Baby. Have bought several cars but that is definitive my Queen. Have a Mustang GT 2019 PP1 and when the day is sunny i prefer to go on the 350Z.

Only have 70k miles and it is OEM all around including paint. Only changed Wheels, Rims and Veilside Spoiler when i bought it. Still happy with her.

 

Nice looking LeMans Sunset Z. But check your addition- it looks like you've owned it for 17--not 18--years.

 

November 17, 2005 … funny how we all can remember the date we took ownership!

16years or so…2nd owner, got it with 14k miles, up to about 68k now … I doubt the car will hit 80k at the rate I drive it…

since then …
I think I’ve owned six z/g35 chassis and a q40…loving every minute of it!

 

I had mine 4 years. 2011 to 2015 then sold it to stulax

 

@dkmura Thanks for the complement. You are correct. April 2022 haven't arrived yet. Jajajajajjajja
