So how long will it be?

370Z_Fan · 02-07-2011, 10:21 PM

I'll probably keep mine until the next generation Z roadster comes out, in about 4-5 years?

RockStarKick · 02-07-2011, 10:40 PM

When I was looking it was a Z, Camaro or Corvette. I ended up with the Z, and am very happy.. I am a very spur of the moment person and really can't say what will happen in the next year or 3.. I mean, I drove a new Civic Si off the lot when I was in for a damn oil change in my regular Civic...

zmyride · 02-07-2011, 11:32 PM

It will depend on how much I'll like the next generation Z, is it called 400Z?

If i like, it will surely sell my current 370Z and buy the 400Z.

If not, I'll still sell it and probably get either a fairly new Cayman S or used Carrera S for around $45K.

Don't have a Nissan, but I will keep my current fun-car until another light, RWD, 6-speed, 2-seater car comes out, has been on the market for at least 2 years and proven reliable, and is under $85K. When all that criteria is met, I will sell and buy.

Keep it till the wheels fall off. Maybe find out how a vette motor would fit in it

Super Red Z · 02-08-2011, 12:05 AM

I still keep mine for 4-5 years until next generation come out or GTR....IF I have kid....

I Love the 400z idea

sonic370 · 02-08-2011, 08:27 AM

all good thoughts. i love my z but around 36 to 40 thousand miles i get new
car fever, just can't help it. i guess i just hate having to put good money back for upkeep that will never show a return. except for the thrill of driving the car of course.........

but as i said earlier it's either a Z or a Corvette for me............

PapoZalsa · 02-08-2011, 08:51 AM

Since is a Z I plan to keep it for a long time, unless something real wrong happens.

The car is little bit over a yr old and is half paid already. So I'm not looking for another car payment either after this one, just money for mods.

I had my last brand new car that I liked for 7 yrs. That is not counting the new one tht latest one month no even the first payment before I got the 350Z.

For me, they hit the nail on the head with the build. It has the same sort of heritage that Porsche has with the 911s.

So, yeah... I'm keeping it until the engine blows up and then I'm putting a new engine in the car to keep going.

I'll be keeping mine for as long as possible

ProfessorDave · 02-08-2011, 11:53 AM

I plan on keeping it for awhile. But, I tend to get drawn to something new every 2-3 years so we'll see. Given my middle age status, I'm pretty sure the rules say I'm supposed to get a P-car next.

Blue370tt · 02-08-2011, 12:06 PM

I will probably keep mine for another year or so.......my other car is a FJ 4X4 and I use it for road trips. I like the 370 quite a bit and got rid of a 2006 C6 Z51 vette right before I got the Z.

Like many others, I will def look at the next Z when it comes out. I like supercars but think it costs to much to maintain a Lambo, Fer, Porsche, etc....so its unlikely I will get one.

EL Diablo · 02-08-2011, 12:21 PM

I usually buy a new car every 3-4 years...

If you are going make a monthly payment it might as well be something
worth it.

400Z does have a nice ring

flashburn · 02-08-2011, 12:33 PM

I haven't a clue yet. I've had the thought of getting a Boss 302 next year, and if I did that I might keep the Z, or depending on it's value trade it in for a Juke. If Nissan announces that the next Z is TT from the factory, that would completely change things, I'd probably trade in the 370 as soon as I could for it.

So, yeah, no clue, could be only a year, or it could be 10+.

Pushing_Tin · 02-08-2011, 01:15 PM

I had mine for 23 months, and I'll probably drive the Jag for about the same amount of time. No car payment FTW.

the plan for now is to drive it till the wheels fall off.
