Default help a prospective buyer.

Ive been reading the forums for a while and finally graduated college and am starting my full time job in a week, with ZERO debt!

My plan is to save enought money to have approximately a 8-10 thousand $ downpayment. Between what money I have now and my trade-in I think I will have this done around the end of august/mid sept.

Ive noticed that one local dealer had 3 coupes and 1 roadster a couple of weeks ago and today only has the 1 coupe, from what I can see. Im not to picky, I like silverstone/blue/black equally and the only color I would totally not want is the Lemans. as far as options I atleast want TCS, so no base models. Wheel type/size and audio dont matter, as they will be replaced soon enough anyway. I was origianlly leaning towards a 6MT but now am leaning towards the 5AT, but who knows what till happen when I test drive.

My question is will it be difficult finding one around the begining of september. Id like to spend less than 29k but would be willing to go as high as 30.

Thanks for the help

Sounds like the Enthusiast models is perfect for you. I'm pretty sure you can find one for less than 30K.



PS: Get the 6MT

I don't know when the 05's are gonna be out but it should be around September. You should be able to find some 04's at a really good price.

Yea, and get the 6 speed, it's a 350Z.

Know what you want before you walk into the dealer, stick to your guns and I guarantee you you'll get out of there under 29k. Like erock said, the enthusiast sounds like the best choice for you especially if your not picky about the audio (no Bose), rims (17'') and color. You'll still get TCS and the HID's which were the two most important things to me. Good luck.

If not for VDC I would also go with enthusiast, but I gotta have it. To me that extra safety well worth $2000, plus you get the bigger wheel, tire pressure monitor and dimming mirror. I would pick performance (although you can't if you thinking of an auto tranny). Anyway, the car choice is wise, the trim won't matter eventually.

you should just buy it NOW!!! If you have a steady full time job that is. Interest rates are low now, take advantage of it before it goes up.

Pretty soon the money you put down could be earning more money in a CD.

Plus, sometimes you can get a 90 days no payment deal...

So why wait... get it NOW
