Default 350z info

I currently own a dodge ram 1500 ext cab. I get 15mpg in the city and a 75$ fill up doesnt make me happy. Iv modded it some bit so it hangs with 8.1l trucks but the gas I dont like to see. I see the 350z only gets 4-5mpg more in the city but thats better than what I am getting now. So to the point, I am almost 22yo and have a slight record. My trucks under my dads name so I only pay $1,000 a year what I think is fully insured. Now, does anyone know the insurance rates between a truck to the 350z, possibly the 2003 model? Also for my truck they would only do a 3year payment plan, maybe because of the year. For a 03 does anyone think they would do a 5? Im looking on the site for problems, as everyone knows the 2nd gen dodge rams tranny sucks and like to go out. Do these have any issues I should scope out? THanks for any info in advance.

If you are concerned with fuel mileage, a performance sports cars should not be your first choice.

For a insurance quote call your agent.

Can you finance a 350Z 2003 for 5 years? Maybe but I doubt it.

350Z reliability? Check Consumer Reports.

I'm not for sure about Chicago but in Va with Nationwide my insurance actually dropped by a couple bucks when I sold my Nissan Frontier Quad cab and bought the Z. About the MPG, my wife and I just took vacation to Myrtle Beach and going to and coming from we were getting about 26-27 Mpg. So it wasn't too bad.

I've gotten up to 28.5 mpg highway ... even if you're letting it go you can still get 17 to 18 mpg city.

As for financing, you can definetly do 5 years on an 03. Some places will even do 6 years depending on your credit and if you are OK with a slightly higher rate.
