So, in about two months i'll be coming to a cross roads.

I can either;

Buy a 2003-2006 with a DE and at LEAST 40-80,000mi for around $10-$14,000...

or..

Just wait 2-3 months more and pick up a 07-08 HR with maybe 20-40k miles for around 17-20,000...


my end goal is to go FI(don't flame please I know what I am getting into, and yes I know what it will cost me)

So what would you guys do?

I think the answer is kind of obvious but i'm curious what you guys have to say..

The DE FI kits and parts are cheaper now...so that extra 8-10,000 could really replace all the worn out suspension parts as well as go into the FI Jar


FWIW: I'm a previous Z owner, Owned a 2005 Performance 6mt from 2008-2010 and loved it.. and was ready to pull the trigger on a PL GT35R kit when i lost my job..Ironically i'm back at the same job!

 

Cool my Turbo kit for my 08 is costing me about 12500 for install and accessories not to mention my exhaust and other stuff....I also got a really good deal on the greddy kit

 

Is that even a decision?

Get a newer car over a older car?

edit:

The newer ones have all the same **** the old ones did but better.

 

With the exception of cheaper parts and less oil consumption.

 

I think this is an easy call.

 

Input given.

 

Get the newer Z!

 

Find a dealer with one of each,test drive them back to back, the only choice will be instantly clear,

 

Get the newer HR, a stock HR block can handle more than a DE when it comes to FI
