Well guys, I'm thinking of trading in the Z . I'm being serious too.

I went to All Stay Nissan in BR today with my girlfriend and test drove a negaro red base model 08. I did some research before I went and then I went there and talked to them. They are more than willing to get my current car off my hands (with negative equity, but I won't go for that part) and will pretty much lower my payments by 200 a month, only catch is I want to put down 10k or so to get to that low monthly payment. Curious on what some of ya'll think. I'd like to keep my Z, but more and more problems are coming up with it and I'm beginning to think it's a lemon. When my uncle looked at it and saw my eye lids kept getting smashed by the hood, he looked under it and immediately noticed the front bumper had been repainted before I bought the car. He also noticed that some of the **** in the front was newer than the rest of the chit in the engine bay.

All in all, in the next few months I'm going to have to spend upwards of 5k for an almost outdated Z just to keep it going, or just get a new one. The main thing I wanted to know is can I still use my H&R lowering springs on the 08. Well like I said, opinions welcomed.

 

What's all wrong with your current Z?

 

don't feel alone im bored as hell to but im going home to play some ffxi now that my dsl is working.

 

you could just use that 10k with another 5 or 6k and build the motor and go twins

 

Ryan, that would be something I'd really like to do, but at the same time, turboing the car isn't something I want to be concerned about while in college. I'd rather get a new, stock, and reliable car that I don't have to worry about and with the lack of performance parts out I won't get that major itch I have right now to mod it.

Nothix, I've already put almost 1k or so in just OEM chit that was broken when I bought it that the dealer refused to fix without charging me for my first born. Other than that, my entire sound system is complete garbage (the speakers are blown, not OEM, wiring if fawked up, and the HU is fawked). My engine is actually beginning to have a slight knock and it's leaning towards having to possibly rebuild it. My trunk interior pieces along with various other panels are either broken or gouged to chit, and need to be replaced. My seats aren't in the most amazing condition for the age. My drivers window is leaking, the motors for the windows are going out. My A/C has been acting up but hasn't gone out or anything. The car seems to have possibly been in some kind of accident because of the replaced parts under the hood. I also have NO TOOLS under the trunk floor mat and the guy who owned it before also cut the piece that holds down the spare so it just flaps around back there. The light in the trunk is also missing so it's hard to find chit at night back there. This is the main problems with the car that I'm having and I'm sure other things are going to pop up again. I'd like to keep my car and find a way to get the payments down but at the moment I'm leaning towards just writing it off as a lost cause and getting a new one.

 

sounds like you made up your mind i say go for it we can always use another red z. that and 08 will be faster than you current car

 

My mind isn't made up completely. I spoke with my father about the behind the scene charges dealers try to tack on, and my plan to put dealers against each other won't work because if I try to get it at cost from Ray Brandt threw my dad, they won't give me a quote on paper to take to another dealer. Plus my mother had to chime in and tell me that if I do this, she won't let me put it on their insurance policy because she's a bish like that. So there are other things holding me back. I just wanted to see what ya'll think and I guess ask if ya'll were in my shoes, would you do what I'm thinking of doing.

If worse comes to worse and I keep the car I'll probably go ahead, pay it off, and then just build it despite wanting to save.

 

scott, why did you buy the car if you knew you would have to replace all those OEM parts?

 

I didn't buy it knowing everything that was wrong. At first it was little things, like the cup holder or the ac vent in the passenger door, but then after it was to late to make the dealer do something other chit started going wrong with it, i.e. the sound system and what not. If I knew this before I would have never gotten it. I kind of jumped into this car not thinking about it because of the deal I thought I was getting.

 

ohhh okay. makes more sense, i thought you bought it knowing a lot of the problems! well, i say if you get the chance, definitely trade it in =)

 

I'm sure the OEM wiring can be easily fixed. Time consuming, but easy.

Its not like I haven't spliced the OEM harness and regretted it

Not on the Z though.

 

i went through the same issue. some ppl buy a used car and never have problems. i had bad luck like you. i say trade it in. learn from your mistakes and enjoy the new HR

 

if i had problems with mine like you do i would trade up for sure, but i bought mine new so if i had any problem it would be taken car of my the dealership since i got the 100000 mile warrenty

 

lol people still play that game? I quit playing years ago heh.

 

My DSL just went out apparently, no matter what I try I can't get it to work. Now I'm stuck posting on my phone, wooohooo....

 

sco....if you keep your car. I'll fix your sound system for free for you. You just need to buy the parts and I can prob do that for you at my cost(in other words dirt cheap). I normally wouldn't do it for free but I'd rather fix something for you to help you out rather than getting raped by some shop trying/doing it.
