Just curious what my fellow 370Z owners have to say about my dilemma. My 350Z is being shipped from Germany and will be in Guam around November. I love that car, but after purchasing the 370Z, I'm not sure the Z33 is worth keeping. It's an '08 with basic mods such as Nismo intakes, finned differential cover, sway bars, oil cap, radiator cap, titanium shift knob, S-Tune exhaust, Berk HFCs, Volk TE37 wheels, 370Z Sport brakes, Stoptech slotted rotors, Eibach springs, and Bridgestone RE-11 tires. It also has body pieces still sitting in my garage that have yet to be installed (Veilside V1 front lip and Charge Speed Bottom Line sides and rear). The 350Z has 10K miles, looks immaculate, paid off, has seen the Nurburgring, and has been my baby since '08. The 370Z is, from what I can remember, is a superior car. I haven't driven the Z33 since '11
The wife recently suggested I should sell it because we don't have any kids, and we have far too many cars which include a '13 Sentra, '13 370Z, and a JDM 2+2 300ZX Turbo that's still in Germany. Selling it has certainly been something I've been considering since we had that conversation. (Sorry, no pics of the Sentra ) I'm not strapped for cash, but also far from being rich. If I sell the 350Z, I'd use half to pay off ALL my bills and the rest to put towards a small business with a few partners. The question is, should I just sell the 350Z when it gets to Guam? Keeping it doesn't really hurt because it's paid off. I can sell it for at least $3K over it's value being in Guam. However, I really love that car. Perhaps I should drive both for a month and see how I feel. What are your thoughts?

You have too many cars, and get rid of the Sentra and the 350Z, buy her something a BIT nicer than a Sentra if you don't want or you don't want her to drive around the 300ZX

Sell it... no point in keeping it if you don't drive it that much any more and it will just depreciate as time passes. Use the money to do what you said, that's a wiser move financially.

I hear ya, it's just difficult to let go of something you've babied for 5 years. Of course, all it takes is a Porsche and I'll forget all about my Z33.

Man, the smart move is what you said. Pay off ALL your bills and start a business that could build on your future. Or you could hold onto a car that's worth less every year when you've already got a better faster more advanced version of it sitting in your garage.
Of course, that's the non-sentimental version. I get it that you've had it a long time and put a lot of yourself into modding it. Hard decision but you know the smart one because you said it. |

From an enthusiast standpoint.... Keep it. From a business standpoint... I'd sell it.... Which emotion is stronger to you???

Sell 350. I sold my 300 about 7 mo after having the 370. No point in having 2 , two seaters. So there is no point in u having 3.
