Depends what trim Z and miles. The Z and GTR holds its value surprisingly well.....can't say the same for the rest of the Nissan lineup. Infiniti included

I have 3 vehicles: a 2008 Toyota Highlander which is my daily driver, 2011 370Z, and 2011 IS-F.
I only really need one... My Z and IS-F sit in the garage most of the time and are collecting dust and depreciating so I want to sell two vehicles and keep one. They're all paid off and I don't owe anything on them but I feel like I'm losing money just keeping them here. I'm leaning towards selling the Z and IS-F and keeping the Highlander because it's the most practical of the 3 and the others still have high resale value. I could use the money towards buying a new house.

do you currently own a house?

Going from personal experience when we built this house, I wish I bought a truck. There was/is so many things I could have used it for. For that reason alone I say keep the vehicle that can move the most, tow the most, etc. Get yourself into a nice house and revisit the pleasure vehicle in a year or two after you've settled.

h3ll, I have already embarrassed Harry with my times...someday I may tell you guys how bad, but not this week. still stinging.

hi msbc

i think it's good to have humor.

when i was racing RC cars, my wife would tag along and race as well. she sucks at driving those RC cars, but with her pikachuu painted beetle the crowd went crazy cheering her on.

around middle of the race she'd hand me her radio (controller) and i bascially beat everyone out in novice class.

i raced pro-modified which is the highest rank with the fastest cars.

I guess.

I personally don't like having to rely on other people to borrow their stuff.

I could be, though I see one more in the future. Something with land and detached garage.

I have a lot of parts for the Z I'd need to sell off before I sell it, tires, wheels, coilovers, bodykit, fenders, hood, seat rails, etc.

nope i've always lived with my parents
my mom passed away on Sunday and the house we currently live in is WAY too big for me and my dad... 3200sq ft, 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, 2 living areas, 2 patios, detached garage. It's too much to maintain and property tax here is ridiculous. we want to cut costs and are planning on moving sooner or later. I currently have a ~50+ minute commute to work and want to cut that in half at least
