I am looking to buy a new car in the next few weeks. I was focused on getting a 04-05 Maxima until 2 of my friends both got a 2003 Z this past week. Now I want one of my own . I am going to be moving to Orlando, FL in the next 3 months and I want to get a car before I go so i don't have to worry about buying one on my own. What I'm basically trying to get at is how much upkeep would a 350z take compared to a Maxima. I am going to be living on my own, paying for car, and insurance, and rent. I got about $15k in the bank and prolly be putting $8k down payment. I'm just really confused on what to do because I don't want to end up screwing myself and not being able to afford it
Thanks for any input

 

well the z is a good choice especially in florida. but yeah man your going to need a stable job to keep up on those payments. go for lower miles, see if it had tire feathering issues or any other problems. then i would say you only live once why drive a maxima when you can drive a z?

 

All your expenses will be a bit higher in the Z, including your insurance most likely. It's all down to choices, you'll know what is best for you.
