I guess it comes down to another product being so attractive that i want it enough to sell my 350Z & pay more money. At this point, a future Z would have to provide another level of performance.

I have to keep my 280z either 4ever or until my g/f dumps me.....first date car and a funny story involving it, she would buy it off me if I tried to sell it. The z32, until I get around 110k miles becuase I am not paying for a 60k on a z32. And apparently my dad asked me what color for his 350z he is about to buy, I asked why, he said its yours when I die in a few years anyways(not cool to say), so if my dad gives me a 350z probably forever.

For as long as I can or until it cost too much to repair. A clean 85 supra still brings a smile to my face...so I want to be able to look at my z 10 years down the line and say, "yup, still a clean looking car after so many years".

Likely forever. It's job as daily driver will change. But I bought the ZR for the enventual roll of the top-down weekend cruiser. And Z meet sort of thing. The only thing that could impact that is if there is a problem getting fossil fuel.

negative 3 months

Nah, seriously it's hard to let it go especially if you had invested alot of your time and money in the car. I worked hard to get my z where it was, but other dreams came along I guess.

I suppose it's human nature to always want something better in life, so I guess everyone would keep their z until something better comes along. Just imo of course

Oh and always remember to take TONS of photos of your z cause when you sell it, you atleast have some memories to look back upon.

I'm going to keep it until you officially sell yours Ravi. Then I'm going to sell mine. We'll then buy the same new car again from the same model year, in the same trim level with the same options, but you will buy a blue one, and I'll get a silver one. They'll be identical in stock form, except for color. Then the tranformations will begin--we'll talk and PM each other and buy the same kit/wheels. And when some noob asks what kit/wheels we have, we'll call it some cheap knock-off brand sold on ebay (lol). When everyone starts buying replicas of our kits and we get tired of it, we'll sell our cars and trade up. Sweet.
