possible new z owner

ZJR66 · 04-14-2012, 09:08 PM

What's up everyone! I've got a few questions. I've had the mindset of getting a 350 or a 370 for awhile now. I am curious as to how much a monthly payment would run me and insurance as well. I currently drive a 68 pontiac as my XD and anyone who has driven older cars know they arnt dependable. I am only 19, but I'm just curious as to how much a z would run me a month

What your asking is extremely broad........ A 350Z will more than likely be cheaper than a 370Z since it is older. Your monthly payments will depend on how much the car cost, how much you are willing to put down, what your credit score is, and if you are actually able to get the vehicle financed (hopefully at a low interest rate). The 370Z will have more horsepower. Your insurance is going to be more on a 370Z than on a 350Z b/c it is newer, has more horsepower, and your under the age of 25. Not sure what your driving record is like, but the key factor is that your under the age of 25. If your living in Phoenix, AZ your insurance will probably be the highest since it is probably the largest city in AZ. If you are looking to buy new Z, Nissan is running a special on all 370Z with 0% interest until 4/30/12. Hopefully this shed some light on what you are asking.

Considering your age, I wouldn't be surprised if your insurance on a 370 would be north of $200/month. I don't know about your financial situation, but I know there's no way in hell I would've been able to afford that kind of insurance when I was 19. Some specifics of car price and down payment would be helpful to get an estimate of a monthly payment. I messed around with the finance calculator on edmunds.com to see what my payment would be and had my insurance agent get a quote for me before I ever went car shopping so that I know what I'm getting into. You would also have to take into consideration that you would be buying a new set of tires at least once every year. For reference, I'm at about $800/month with payment and insurance and that's with 0% apr. Gas is extra.
