Nothingremains - No problem. I completely understand! Different strokes for different folks. There is no reason for anyone to hate on you as a result though. Good luck!

Kuruma-San - I'm with Mercury now and paying less then 70 a month (a nice change of pace). I'll have to check with National though! I'm not going to complain about saving a few bucks. Thanks for the recommendation!

 

I still fail to see how that is bad mouthing the Z. I see that more as saying that his situation sucks... perhaps it's just the way I read it though.

 

You have the power to end this discussion at any time.

 

np i thought mercury was one of the cheapest companies for insurance but then a member here that i met in person told me about them, i went from $298/month with merc to $210/month with national saving my *** 88 bucks a month adds up really quick

 

PM'ing you... don't want to hijack the OP's thread.

 

if you are going to resale it, at least take the stupid body kit off of it

 

thats cool sell it to someone who really wants it for cheap like i dunno i know this guy on his name is KaZ_7 hell take it off ur hands for 10gs lmao

 

You gotta drive it like you stole it, otherwise your wasting your time with this car.

 

Sounds like you and the O.P. need to go hold hands and drive off in his new hybrid civic. See ya in the photoshop threads

 

 

Meh, same things cross my mind once in a while. My thought is that by the time I sell the car (maybe in a few years) my income will have increased from where it is now and having to put out a few extra bucks for a new car due to this car's depreciation won't hurt so badly. I definitely appreciate my Z for what it is to me, and that is a non-practical, good looking and fast little money pit. Even when I am driving on cinder-coated roads getting my paint chewed up in the middle of winter, I really have little regret buying this car.

To the OP, one suggestion if I may...you complained about lack of space in the Z but then mentioned buying an Accord coupe. I realize they are much more roomy than the Z but if you want more space, why not go for a sedan of some sort? Moreover maybe you should consider some sort of sports sedan or else you might be bored out of your mind going from the Z to something much bigger and more clumsy. Good luck to you.

 

scrap the Z before issues start arising! :-)

 

ill give you 10k for your 350

Cash Readyyyyy

 

OP, what are you still doing posting in this forum!? The more time you spend here, the more your Z depreciates! Go ahead & join the dark side -- get your Civic so you can rid yourself of the nuisances of your Z.

Trust me, your "garbage" Z will be someone else's "treasure!"

Are you still in denial & you can't let go!?

 

you shouldve bought it used. I went from a 06 Honda Civic to an 05 350z and so far i have no complaints. You shouldve bought it used because 40% of the depreciation takes place with in the first 2 years.

 

a Z to an accord...ouch! haha

600 a month? damn, i pay 234, i also put 12k down though, than again i also pay 320 a month for insurance...

the point is, the Z is a sports car, not a familey sedan or SUV... sports cars arent subposed to get good gas mileage or be luxuriouse (or however you spell that word..haha)

they're subposed to be fast and expensive to own. (for most)

you made a wrong choice from the get go , the thing now is what do you really feel/want and need.

 

Stop trying to justify your loss. You don't want to give your Z away, your wife is forcing you and you're trying to justify it. And bull**** you only drive it to go to work and back Nobody buys a $30,000-$40,000 car just to drive from home to work and back. You bought it to drive solo and get chicks to turn their heads at you. You bought it to experience full performance and you bought it to define you as a person. Women do a good job and twisting your views around and making you do things you don't want to. I know from experience...I've been with my girlfriend for 3 and a half years and yes I admit I'm a little whipped at times but when we go out for a car ride and she tells me she hates my Z because it's impractical, I told her to go out and buy her own car if she doesn't like mine. She went out and bought a 1988 Ford Taurus that's already having issues and has already broke down once. I had to pick her up from the highway and get her car towed. When she sat in my car I just looked at her and I said, "So...my car is impractical? "

Aside from that, your wife doesn't want you spending money on something you enjoy. Hey, it's normal. That's what a marriage is all about. You could have at least traded it in for a G35 or another 4 seater equal to your Z. Why would you slump down to a $12,000 soccer mom car?

Whatever, it's been awhile since you originally posted so your Z is probably already gone. But I want you to know that whenever you unlock your Corolla or Focus or whatever you're buying. I want you to know that everyone on the internet is laughing at you. And the internet is the world wide web.

 

before you bought the car did you read the EPA fuel rating on the MSRP?

did you realize that when you test drove it?

Like I said, refer to my above post. His wife is making him give it away and he's trying to find reasons to justify it to make himself sleep better at night.
