I have tried to sell the zed.... really I have. I did all the right things to sell.

 

I have put up a fair and honest description on the best forum for the car.

 

I have invited people round to test drive it, and been happy to see them when they turn up.

 

But something has stopped me from selling...

 

I tell myself, I can't afford to run 2 cars anymore. Sell the practical economical hatchback, sell the impractical thirsty sports car and have one fast practical car like an RX8 or Audi S4...

 

Everytime someone has driven it and asked if I will take an offer - I always say don't offer yet, drive a few more just to be sure... Why do I do this? Am I going mad? Do I really want to sell the 300zx?

 

Here is my dilema.....

 

My 300zx is more reliable.... My Alfa is sitting on the drive with a faulty ECU. I never had any problems with the 300zx.

 

If I drive sensibly I can get better fuel economy from the 300zx (ok - not in town, but on a long run I can).The best I get out of the Alfa is 30mpg I just got 33mpg from the 300zx.

 

The 300zx is more practical!! I had to do a tip run a few weeks back. I tried to get some crates in the back of the Alfa, but the boot wasn't long enough, so I just dropped the rear seats of the 300zx - job done!

 

The S4 is not as quick. I have test driven a few now, and I just don't get that torquey rush I get in the 300zx.....

 

Even though it's supposed to be for sale, I keep buying bits for it???

 

To cut a long story short.... I'm keeping the 300zx. I just can't bring myself to sell it. It's too much fun, it does everything I want and I couldn't replace it.

 

It's a love hate relationship!

Im sure a lot of people here have been through the same thing including me, but you gotta do what feels right in the end........and hence why i still have mine.... you could always fix the alfa n sell it, then buy a propper small city car for the short trips.....

im sure the buggers brainwash you. good news though mate! :)

LOL that struck me actually!

 

I know where you're comming from though, they are not worth a great deal of money these days and for the money you get what other car gives you the thrill of a good Z?

 

These cars have a soul and I'm addicted to them.

 

Long live the Z!

I spoke too soon.... had my first hiccup today! me and my big mouth!
