Aren't we all treating ourselves to a GT-R in 2 years after a few months of work.

you going to ever move out? save up for a house? an apartment. Have fun getting a mortgage with a debt like a $100K car loan on your credit.

Had my Z when i was 19 after two BMWs (WHICH I BUILT) and am saving up for a down payment on a house. THEN i'll get my GT-R

Where I come from family is very close. Parents don't let their kids move out at 18 to be on their own. We live with the parents till about 25-26 which means saving up money. Why would I get my own house before starting a family?

Guess my question would be why would you buy a $100,000 depreciating asset at that age? You should be maxing out your savings while you can - for eventual financial security, not for a depreciating asset. But hey, that's just me, it's your life even if a lot of us just find the whole thing weird.

I'm 23 and, judging by my calculations, so are you. I'm living at home because i live in an unbelievably expensive area (north jersey) to own a home. I dont want to have a wife and kids living in my parents house.
I have a full-time, salaried, financial position with a world leader in the industry, graduated in May `12 and have been working her as an intern for 2.5 years before the full-time offer upon graduation and a GT-R is still a long distance goal.

In general the age to move out is getting older and older as the standard of living increases. It's still not seeming feasible to drive a $100K car living at home with your parents, starting a family. I think you may need to revaluate your 5-year plan especially since you were given a car (i'm not hating, i was given my Z as a gift for a full-ride to college) that is stil working, why waste your money on another when you're planning other priorities.

It seems like a "17-year-old" thing to say "put the Z away in 2 years and get my GT-R after i work for a few months." is all i'm saying.

I agree you do make valid points I cant argue with that. However, I never said I was getting a new one which would be roughly around $100K. I also haven't had to pay a penny for school therefor I have no crazy loans to pay back like most students do today once I graduate. The GTR has been my dream car and because of that I have started a savings account since high school because I knew once I am done with school that would be a pretty nice down payment. I make decent money being a manager at a luxury lounge/bar working weekends. You can find GTR's anywhere from $60k and up. Once I am done with school I will have a little more than half saved up for it already just from managing my money and putting it on the side of what I am making right now. I chose the medical field because I know I will always have a secure career with a pretty nice salary. I see the opportunity to buy my dream car so why the hell not go for it? I'm not planning on having kids or getting married anytime soon so I think I should be fine. Point of all this talk isn't to sound snobby or cocky its because some youngsters on the forum are responsible with their nice cars and decisions at a young age and shouldn't be given a hard time unless they give you a reason. I just don't think its cool to randomly give them a bunch of **** for having a Z.

I did read this entire thread, nor do I intend too, but I think I get the basics of it. I think if a 17 year old has a Z, more power to them. I dont care how they got it... It is honestly non of my business how people get their cars (unless they are stealign them). I think that anyone should be able to enjoy the Z car. I myself am 25 and started my driving career with a Geo Metro.. Saved my money and ran that car into the ground, and moved to a Toyota Avalon. Again saved my money and ran that car into the ground while saving money. I too was able to move through college with no costs, due to hard work, and when I graduated, I had saved enough money through work, to purchase a 2011 Hyundai Genesis Coupe new and outright. I continued to save my money and picked up a rather profitable sales position with verizon, which allowed me to pay cash again for an used 350z. I know have nearly 45k into the z and it is a full blown race car, with NO monies owed on it.

NEVER! Just don't understand why people list what they drove but have no input on the thread.

I'm still confused why we let this thread go on.
