Autos are really that bad?

 

bad in a sense that they lose a tiny bit more power as it goes through the drivetrain, and that you don't have a man pedal. if you can get past that, they are great, the triptronic mode gives you full control over the revs and shifting, rev matches on downshift etc.

if it suits you, get it. stickshift purists will give you a hard time, but if you can keep up with them or out run them, who cares?

 

The combined value of your crap *** trade is like 8k. Where did you look up the values for your vehicles?

 

They're not bad. its just that manuals are just more fun and you'll enjoy the Z more.

 

Haha, agreed. I bought a Ranger as a beater/toy hauler in the fall. 2002 3.0 4x4 extended cab with 55k miles and I paid $2700. Good luck getting $5k for yours. Pretty high mileage on the R1 too, I would guess you could get $5500 for it considering it is a good time to sell bikes.

Like has been mentioned already, sell the bike first, sell the truck, find the Z in your price range (likely need to add some cash to get anything without a salvage title).

 

The ranger in awesome condition would net him like $3.3k, That R1 has been beat. The only reason there is custom paint is from a drop. Then it was dropped " in the garage" again. There's a guy local to him selling a 04 limited edition ( Yellow Black) for 5700 with 6000 miles on the bike. I wouldn't even take the ranger, I guess that's why he's trying to off both of them.

 

AHA...

 

That 2004 R1 isn't worth no $6.5-7K. Sorry to bust your *****.

 

but your avatar is...lmao

 

It's not busting *****, it's showing someone reality.

yea its done been said and im not sure the OP is still following but.. come on... that trade is not going to happen.. rangers sell cheap.. the bike is heavily used.. the years on both are pretty bad for considering trade on a Z

I paid 9200 for my rebuilt Z over a year ago.. it only has 48k miles.. an amazing car..
but yea i wouldn't make that trade with you.. and mine has a rebuilt..

it is a good time to sell a bike i suppose but anyone with sense would buy a bike in the winter.. getting a bike is nothing but for fun.. its not a wise financial move.. bikes resell bad.. thats why its only wise to buy a used one and never go new.. (only fools do that)

as for the ranger.. i mean come on its a ranger... heh..

my advice.. sell both.. then hunt down a bargain Z..
but tbh.. if this Z would be your primary means of transport.. i would highly suggest not to..

I own 3 vehicles.. one is a Z
if i could only have one vehicle.. it would not be a Z
as fun as they are.. they are not a very logical selection for someone with only one means of transport

 

****ing what?
ok then. hmm. sell bike first. now you have your 4-6 thousand (not 7K) then you sell your truck. so now you have money from the bike and now the truck, and you can buy a 350z the next day. simple

I guess we could call it the reality of me busting your *****.

 

Everyone wants a 350Z. Some talk about it. Others do it. You are a talker.
