That's too bad, I don't know what I'd do without this forum. I have learned so much and gotten so many ideas that there is no way I could've had without this forum.

Come on man, my 43rd edition Fatboy was the built to look like the 25th edition circa 4th quarter. Its classic!

The new camaro has turned many heads. They'll get dumped even faster when the Corvette GS gets into the mix.

No one 'normal' person buys a Z, or any sports car for that matter, as an investment. Put it in gear, step on the gas and enjoy the drive and the view.

Personally, I could care less what they say my car is worth. I haven't traded a car in in so long........ I just buy the next one, and keep 'em till the wheels come off.

In my vast experience (hey, I'm 65!) the dealer won't give you crap for your trade-in. I always get the best price for it on Craiglist. That's how I sold my '94 Teggie LS 5-spd HB. The dealer wanted to give me squat for it on the Z. My email was on fire with all the requests to see it on CList. Got close to the price I wanted.

Z34s are pretty cheap right now. One of the reasons I went for a Z is cause I got a great deal on a 40th

With all that is said on this topic, I just want to chime in and say that my Z is priceless, along with every other Z out there, and this car is iconic! I love my Z and have always loved every other Z out there. It is a poor mans Porsche and I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm frugal by nature and and am thankful the Z is the most underrated sports car out there.. For me, my 370Z is the icing on the cake! I am a loyal person in general, will always be loyal to the Z, and am loyal to this forum and its members. Semper Fi!!!

I plan on keeping mine for quite a few more years. What I am concerned about is that there will be even fewer people that will know how to drive a stick by then. I can just hear the dealer if I wanted to trade, "well we can't give you very much because nobody can drive a stick". I already had that happen when I was trading my BMW for the Z. That was in 2012. Maybe it will be different with a sports car. Most Bimmer drivers are kind of wussy and can't be bothered shifting for themselves.

^ speaking of manual shifter is going to be obsolete.
Nissan had it again with its innovation...the prototype IDS coming out 2020 making driving skills a thing of the past.
Keep your Z for the next 30 years most people would not even know how to drive it.

Lots of Zs on the market means a buyers market which is good for all of us that want one. This will be the last car I will ever buy unless it is wrecked, then it's no good anymore.

Just for fun I went to Carmax and asked them what they'd give me for my 2009. It was approximately what I still owe on it. Never really planned to get rid of it anyway, so I'm not too concerned.

:iagree:

Which was how much exactly? Ive been thinking of trading up. I also have an 09, about 60K on it, my daily driver.

You should probably expect around $12K trade in value. Could be more or less depending on location, condition, and season :twocents:
