What's really sad (in my area that is) is the amount I see for sale on autotrader, most of them have less than 10,000 miles on them. Most of them suprisingly are 10's and 11's.

no... and I can't get rid of it and IMO the car is in excellent shape and I have 2 of the best mods on the market. People are just not buying them.

Never! Until 3 weeks ago I came across a 2010 Black roadster with 5k miles. The guy traded it in for a vette. I happened to drive by he Chevy dealership and saw it out of the corner of m eye. Price was great! DONE!

i was the same way about 10yrs ago. nowadays not so much. i think it's about buying something you really want instead of buying subsititutes.

you need to save up and get a car you really want.

just interested if the other owners grew tired of their cars.
That's funny, when I was looking for a used 2011 370Z I found a few, all with extremely low mileage. It made my wonder why so many for sale with low miles, what's wrong with them. Nothing, as far as I could see other than blind spots that you can easily get used to. Love my Z.
