So how long will it be?
 
An earlier thread got me to wondering... So how long do you guys plan on keeping your 370. 1-5 years. Or forever. Until its paid for,or is it a stepping stone to a more expensive car.

I'll go first for me i love everything about the 370. well maybe a quieter cabin
would help. The only other car i would consider trading for would be a C6
corvette. which i probably will when i get around 40 to 45 thousand miles on the 370. but that's just my opinion.

Im planning to keep mine for 6yrs and will get a 2nd hobby car, a convertible probably MINI in a few yrs.

Then im done with the car hobby all together and get one nice car benz or bimmer to use for everything. Will then spend most of my time on other hobbies. :)

I plan to keep this Z forever. I want to start a collection of cars that i build up. I'd like to do two more builds in my life to come. One day I want to go all out up front. Save up and drop mega bucks into at once with only the best parts. Then I'll defiantly die happy.

Plan to keep it as long as I can. Spent 6 years trying to get a Z and it wasn't just to trade it in.

Nismoracer 02-07-2011 08:14 PM

Not long. 1 or 2 years maybe. I seem to go back and forth from sports car to 4x4. Had both at one time before and when that happens one of them usually end up just sitting there collecting dust. Ehey.... who knows.

I will likely keep the 370 forever, just like my 240z, my 280zx's, my 84 F-150 and my wife's Echo. A GTR is next in a few years -- after the garage addition and possible divorce ;-).

plan to keep it...i don't think i'd have it in me to get rid of a 40th

Last foray into sports coupes (until something I want more comes out :D ), then it's onto sports sedans.

I'm 50 years old.
This is my 6th car, and my first NEW car.
Safe to say, I'm going to keep it a while!!!

The styling of the 370z has a certain appeal that the other Z's didn't bring to the table since the 240z. I was honestly considering a purchase of a 240z over the 350z until the 370 came out. 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.

Mike 02-07-2011 08:48 PM

I have no idea. I buy new cars on whims quite often. Until my 350Z, I never kept a car more than a year and a half. I had the 350 for 3 years, the C6 for four and coming up on two years with the 370.


The 370 is paid for though, so I will probably add another car rather than replace it, unless I get something like a GT3 or Aston next. Have to see what the C7 looks like when it comes out.

Keeping forever. FI when the factory warranty runs out, and then handing it over to the son in eight years when he's ready to drive (don't worry, I'll return it to stock then or detune it A LOT).

Upgrade time then... 911 or GT-R (or comparable; who knows what will be available then). I figure the 911 is almost guaranteed to be still in the running in 2020...

theDreamer 02-07-2011 08:50 PM

The Z will probably be kept purely because it is my first 'sports car' and hopefully I can plan it out so I do not have to ever give it up.

b1adesofcha0s 02-07-2011 08:52 PM

Probably somewhere in the range of 3-5 years, then it's onto a supercar for me. GT-R/Lamborhini/Ferrari whichever one I like best at the time. :D

Red__Zed 02-07-2011 09:13 PM

Depends on how life goes. I'd like to hang onto it for a while, and move it to track duty.
