Default my chevy colorado or 350z

hi guys i have a 2006 chevy colorado with 50,000 miles
i want another z i had one some guy hit me and totaled
...so the question is should i trade my truck which is a base model
for a 2004 350z with 124k miles...the car is clean and
i did a carfax check and all is good no accidents and
its been maintained through the dealer for the life of the car
the cost of the z is 11,200...is it worth it or not yall think...
i just figured that the truck would be worth less over time
cause its a chevy and nissan i would believe would last longer
and hold better value

I think the mileage on the z is really high to invest in. I would keep looking for a lower mileage z. IMO

Totally weird trade off there as those are two completely different vehicles. Mileage on the Z is way too high anyway. Keep the truck....You can't own the truck and a Z?

Strange post...
Exactly what are you looking for in a vehicle?
A truck or a sportscar?
Or,just transportation?
You have no "soul" when it comes to cars.

Agree on too many miles. I'm sure the engine will last till at least 200k if its been properly maintained but so many other things will start to fall apart.

I'll trade you my 07 Z 6spd with 46k for your colorado and your FD. Deal?

Then I'll sell that colorado and put a LS2 in that FD. Great reliable DD. LMAO

My rx7 is very reliable it all depends who builds and tunes it speaking of ls2 I've seen many blow at the races spraying big shots and one that blew up while I was racing him lol I'll keep the 7 and it's awesome weight ratio with the rotary

You haz 3 car garage?

If you're going to trade the truck in for a Z get the '07+ with low mileage if possible, otherwise no deal.
