Default $1000 more for a fresh 350

After many arguments and mishaps, Ive decided to buy my own 350. The one I own now isnt only half mine since I was an idiot and decided to split it with my brother. Yes, I know its stupid to share a car with someone but I was desperate at the time. It was almost like sharing a girlfriend except he gets laid and I get stuck talking to her on the phone. He never lets her warm up, does pointless burnouts, parks in the most vulnerable spots, burned the first clutch and just yesterday I found out hes been filling her up with 89 to save a few dollars.

>>>>So, I decided to start fresh and buy my own Z. The dealer is willing to give me a 2004 base for invoice price (25,331) but it already has 500+ miles on it from him and he does seem like a careless guy that would beat on it and treat it like a *itch.

Should I take his offer or take delievery of a brand new z for 26435. (about 10 more dollars a month)?

Please tell me you're kidding. That is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard –sharing a Z.

If this post is for real, take the NEW Z for $1,000. Duh, it’s a no-brainer.

People are idiots, especially when its not their car.

Do what I did, and pay the extra grand for the brand new car.

I take pride in knowing that my car has never been driven without me in it.

If you do get that new Z, NEVER let anyone else drive it.

VQ35DES,
If you do purchase your own Z, and park it next to your ex-Z(or your brother's Z), Curious what these two Zs would talk about? Well, I think I do, and one of the conversation would be like the movie below:

Fanta Shokata movies(Titled: Z talk behind closed doors)

j/k

lol, i could see that. 2 nissans talking in jap in a garage about their owners.

i decided to take delivery of an 04 6mt base CS, it should be here around march- just in time for spring. Only problem is I havent driven stick to much (previous z was automatic) so breaking it in wont be too easy.

i wouldn't necessarily call what you did dumb. i mean if it meant the difference between driving a z and not driving a z, any option might look pretty appealing.
