Yeah, I'm considering going to one car for the time being. The initial thought for selling was that the Z is still worth something right now and if I get rid of it it'll be a nice addition to our savings to use for a new house we're thinking about in the next 18-24months. It's not like I HAVE to sell it for financial reasons, it was my responsible side trying to tell me it's a nice chunk of change to have/invest versus just continuing to depreciate in my garage since I don't have as much time to drive it.

BUT then I drive it and I'm like holy hell, how am I going to get by with just my TL, especially after a crappy week on the road at client sites. If I do sell the Z I realistically won't have another toy in the stable for another 2-3 years as well (again trying to be responsible). So now I'm just thinking, maybe my enjoyment/sanity is worth just keeping it. That was the whole reason for buying the Z in the first place.

I think if I were selling to switch to another toy, I wouldn't be as reluctant but selling and driving a family sedan only makes me think twice. Totally first world problems.

married people problems lol. i don't think i should buy any car anymore. i should probably lease because usually after 2 years of owning a car i get tired of it and want something better.

but in your case, if you don't have to sell it, keep it. who knows maybe if they kill z the price will go up. it's almost 2017 and there is no news of a new z. so you never know

I'm buying a Ford Focus SEL as a daily.....

i'm doing something wrong in life.

Fords break supposedly
Every Chevy rattles
Dodges just fall apart
Mazda rusts leaving the lot
Honda is insanly boring now
Toyota is beige

When looking for cheap and reliable- beige and boring are top of my lists.

Quick google search of the DCT in the focus makes me cringe. Sure it's cheap now. Will you say the same after a few years of ownership? Just food for thought.

I came close to buying the new Focus RS. I only bought the 2017 Z instead because my wife loved the looks of the Z and didn't like the RS's style for the cost.... Looking back I am happy with my choice but the RS Focus is awesome
