How long do you plan on owning your 370z?

soCo · 03-09-2010, 04:54 PM

As the subject says, how long do you plan on owning the 370z? I know some people that switch cars like crazy.

Might be also good to list what you use it for because a person that uses it as a daily driver would probably get a new car faster than a person who uses it for a weekend car.

Forever, I want to keep this car to show my grandkids what a rwd petrol manual sports car was back in the day.

Lets face it guys such car's days are numbered... i'm 25 now, and when i'm 50-60 i want to be one of those with a 2nd garage in the backyard working on upkeeping this beautiful machine... this current z design will NEVER get old =)

I have no idea!

Until I die!

It depends on when I start having children, my employment future, and my location.

If I have 2 kids, a better job, and a house in VA in 5 years...I'll be driving an Escalade EXT, not my Z, sadly.

If it's 10 years from now and I'm still living in GA, with no kids with my current job? I'll be in my Z!

TamZ · 03-09-2010, 05:36 PM

Until they come out with a 390Z...mmm...maybe 400Z?

Until the next body style Z comes out. Though I wouldn't mind keeping this car for longer

Vegitto-kun · 03-09-2010, 05:43 PM

untill it breaks down

cptspeed · 03-09-2010, 05:43 PM

Just ran across my bank contract. As much as its gonna cost me, I'm keeping it forever or will accidentally drive it off a cliff.

kenchan · 03-09-2010, 05:45 PM

i plan to keep it 5-6 minimum. and im going to pretty much keep the car stock (well, not the stereo cause it sucked i had to get that replaced with a nice HU).

elmz · 03-09-2010, 06:29 PM

Good question...I hope longer than 7 years this time. I always thought I'd never part with my 350Z because I loved it so much, but when this car came out...I had to have one. I can be very impulsive and it sometimes gets the best of me, despite my better judgment. I would be debt free right now and I could have bought some property in a year or two....but I couldn't fight it. I seriously hope the next Z doesn't get the best of me. I should really buy a house next...

F-O-R-E-V-E-R.

This 370z is my first "sports" car. I'm going to keep it until something dies. Then I'm going to rebuild it. This car holds a lot of sentimental value for me.

Hopefully when that day comes, my car note will be paid off so I can still keep the 370 and get the new one too
