Dude, in 6 years the 350Z will probably be a 380Z or a 400Z. That's a long time in car years. No worries though, just sell it and get a new one. Unless that's a 6 year lease which would be a bad idea in any case.

Actually, when you think about it 6 year loans aren't too bad. You don't have to pay the minium, you can always pay alot more. I kinda like it for a safety net, never know when times will be tough and you can't make a 600+ payment, but you know you almost always make a 300 buck payment. Of course this only works if there's no penalties for early payoff and stuff.

Most early payoff penalties are only applied to the first 2 years.I am also thinking about going with a 6 year loan.It could be the difference between an Enthusiasts and a Touring.

Interest rates are higher with the 6 year plan. I went with the 5 year 4% loan. Although I'm planning to pay it off in 4 years (crossing fingers) providing I don't have any unexpected major financial burden.

I'm doing 6 yrs and my payment is 509. I put 15K down and my finance charge will be over 6k. My rate isn't the greatest but my credit wasn't as good as good as it could have been. Whatever, I got my Z. Touring w/everything except Aero and Bags, I did get NAV and it came to $36,004, not including tax and licence.

Of course, the problem is that hardly anyone is going to have $300 payments and make $600 payments. It takes a lot of discipline.

If I wasn't in such love with getting myself a Z sometime in the near future, I'd consider buying a Cooper S with Works Package on it.
