Would you sell or trade your Z for something else?

My moderator (I'm the admin) on the Q60 forum just traded in his Red Sport for a 2023 Audi RS5 Coupe Quattro with the Competition Package.

Ask me again in five years. 🤣

We have quite a few good options so I was wondering, what car is worth getting rid of a new Z for? A90 crosses my mind especially now with the MT but the obvious BMW underpinning is stuck in my brain. It also doesn't have a driver focused dash, yet the concept did? What's up with that.

MKV? After being a BMW (and that’s a big issue), there’s the looks. Discordant elements, fake vents, bizarrely executed double bubble roof, overwrought overall… and you can’t drive with the windows open above 35-40 mph due to the worst buffeting in the industry which Toyota refuses to fix/address and can only be remedied by buying and gluing these aerodynamic fins onto the side mirrors to redirect the air. Bizarre. Since the question was asked, I’d volunteer the CTR, which is a completely sorted out drivers car with reliability built in and a superlative stick. The looks are much improved but it’s still a Civic with a less douchey wing than before. CTR, my suggestion, with a V8 Mustang as an alternative.

Getting rid of a what now?? Can't get rid of something ya can't get in the first place...

The Z remains elusive, that's for sure.

Still haven’t seen a Z in the wild here in Maryland/DC metro area which means dealers are gouging and people are still paying more than they should. That means if you have a Z to get “rid” of, you should get above MSRP for your gently used car that and have decent money to buy in the $50-$60K range. Earlier I suggested a new CTR. Giving it more thought I’d rather have a low miles V6 Cayman with a manual transmission. I can’t think of a better driver’s car out there this side of $100K.

Today a dealer sent me a proposal for MSRP that included a market adjustment of $5,000.00

You always counter with $0. Is in the build you want? Spec? Trans? Exterior/Interior?

Currently it's the only one in the Houston area and is 87 miles from Houston. If I did the deal I'd expect to get my highest trade-in value plus my own market adjustment of $2,500.

Good luck! If it's the one you want, I hope it works out. Share some photos.
