So im thinking of getting one of these maybe in the winter but im really torn on if its the right move or not
here is some of the rationale I came up with, what do you guys think?
Quote:
YES I SHOULD reasons
-Ive been thinking as the arrival of theNISMO GTR nears and having the #1 NISMO ever built for the US with all the documentation and all that is going to make me so paranoid to drive it. having something like this Z would make a really cool and fun daily driver. The first ever US market NISMO GTR is a collectors car and a piece of Nissan history and I just cant drive it like I would want to.
-Also as some know im big into autocross and have used Z's for a good number of years up until I got my 09 GTR in 2008. I feel running that NISMO GTR would do nothing but eat up $3K tires. I mean I might do a few runs occasionally but if I had this I could do a full season care free and save the NISMO GTR for our VIR track day and a few other things like that.
-right now I have a NISMO frontier pick up that I drive everyday and im starting to get tired of having to drive a truck daily as a compromise to have the GTR. I remember back when I had my 350z NISMO I would drive that thing all the time and enjoyed it
-It would be fun to get back into a 6 speed manual as I loved my 350z NISMO Z
- I could pick up the 42K non tech and see If I can get it for 36-37K
- Ive got access to a very unique line of credit at 1.9% with a minimum payment of like $100ish month per say $30K. so the monthly payment could be basically whatever I wanted it to be
-matching black 2015 NISMOs!
- I got to help unveil the car for the US so would be cool to own
-My start in the Nissan community and rise to where I am now started with the Z and would be cool to get back to my roots!
-I could be more involved around here on the Z forum
The NO reasons are
-Well the money plain and simple. the NISMO GTR was already $13K more than I expected because of the Ti exhaust option instead of it being standard. I dont have disposable income and the NISMO GTR thing was the perfect storm of my master plan and everything coming together in a way I could never pull off again.
-40K for another car might be getting a little over my head and ive done well in life not ever getting to that point. however this would be more all intents and purposes my primary driver and I would really use it like it was intended.
- 2 sports car car insurance bills. ( something to consider)
-Only have a 2 car garage ( my GF has a pathfinder)
- all new Z35 is due in the next 2 years with all new styling and brand new engine choices that is going to make the Z34 which is already aged feel obsolete
