No more civic
 

Wassup. i just wanted to drop through and leave a thread. I currently drive a 2007 Black Honda Civic Si Coupe. But I think its about time I change it up and go big. Im getting divorced and its time for a NEW single mans car. Atleast thats how I see it, right? I been doing my research on buying tips and all. I am definately going home with a Black 370Z manual w/sport package next month. No doubt about that. So i guess I'll see you all on the roads.
UPDATE: 5/2/2009
well i ended up without the black 370 as planned and i couldnt wait a month to get ANY Z. so i got it this past week.

Whoa. This is pretty scary. I have a 2007 Nighthawk Black Civic Si Coupe too! We're also getting the same 370z, except mine is going to be Pearl White (I hope).

pickin up my Blue Z tomorrow. hell yeah

You're going to LOVE it! (coming from a SI). Congrats and good luck! :tup:

yep...i love it already. bad *** ride. the thing i like is when i cruise the beach. the stop and go traffic. all the stares and compliments makes me love the trffic on a friday/saturday night on the beach. i havent even seen another Blue Z...let alone with a sport package. ive seen a red one no sport and a white one w/ sport. maybe im the only blue one in va beach rite now with the sport. that'd be the **** right there.

OMG. You all have got to be kidding me! Honda Civic SIs?!

Seriously?


























Derek, I know you. I'm going to go over to 8thcivic and bug you now that I know you're hiding out over here.

im not Derek homie lol

Nope but OMGWTFBBQ is.

Hmmm... do you post in the VABeach/Hampton Roads thread over there?

I'm wondering how many 8thcivic members have jumped the Honda ship and gone Nissan. Seems like a lot...

lol @ the 8thcivic reunion over here.

<--firmhonda

ohhhh...one of the mods huh

Seriously. We should make a thread on 8thcivic just for the Z owners.

"From Honda to Z...."

hell yeah make that thread. and yeah i do post in the vabeach thread. we all hang out atleast once a week and get some wings.

Yessir, I'm a ztard.

I mostly love classic Z's (s130 is my weakness), but I love the 370 as well.

Where are you guys going for wings? I wanted to come hang while I was on leave but Nissan held my car hostage. :(

We go to Wild Wing Cafe off of Battlefiled Blvd. In the same shopping area as Sam's Club

I never even realized there was a BWW over there. It's so close to the house. Dang it.

naw not the BWW. its "wild wing cafe". every tuesday they have a 8and8. buy 8 and get 8 free

Wasn't this up for sale on Craig'slist??? Your ride looks familiar.

haha. yeah it was up on craigslist since last year. Probably still posted. I put it up for sale when i was trying to get a G35

Haha wow. Now that I go over this thread again, everything seems to make sense now. I'll see you guys on the other side, if you catch my drift ;).

Clean Si.I used to own a GPW 03 S2K( I had to get rid of it since I was getting married and bought a new house.)

that'll piss off the ex... heh heh

everything pisses off an Ex. LOL.

Another ex-Si owner here. I was on 8thcivic but I haven't there posted in a long time.

oh yeah? i still go on there cuz we still all meet up in virginia beach every week

I'd like to trade-in the Si for a 370Z. '08 with 8k miles on her. Do I just go to a stealership, and just trade it in? I still owe around 20k on her. Just wondering how to go about it.

If you still owe money you might be best selling it to a private buyer, but the best way to go about it.

Go to a dealership and start working on the Z price, do not mention the trade in.
Once the Z price is down, bring in the trade in and find out how much they will give you for it. If it is less than what you owe (say you owe 20,000 and they offer 18,000), they might roll the remaining 2,000 into your new loan or not.

O'k....Thanks alot for the heads-up advise. Now, should I start e-mailing the stealerships or would walking in be better? I'd like to buy either the graphite or the white w/sports pkg. I really like the persimmon interior, for it's a very unusal color. Do you think I could buy it, for let's say, $200.00 below invoice?
Or is that too far fetched? Now, I'm not sure what to do. Keep the Civic or just go out and get the Z. Tough decisions.

I am sure you are familiar with this thread, but if not: 2009 Nissan 370z invoice Price
I went with emailing first, you will probably get the internet sales guy that way and they many times are more willing to jump at an invoice price than the floor guys. 200 below is not out of the question, but you might get it in differenent ways. Free oil changes, free part (wheel locks - which if so please refer this link). Your best bet for a tough choice is to do a pro/cons list, which does really work, think about what you gain/loose, finance, etc. If the pros are winning and a dealership has a price you are liking, then go for a first test drive and see if it is what you want.

Thanks again....Wish you were in So.Cal. But, anyways, I'll try that, and see what happens. Thanks alot!!!

also get it in writing about the price of the Z first before you start mentioning the
trade-in. I ended up selling to carmax cuz they gave the better deal on civic.

DuNw/4BanGerZ, you and I should do a photoshoot when I get back. Granted, your car will pop off of the screen but Zöe will provide the dirty side. :D

Hell yeah we can do that...by that time TereZa will be hooked up a little. youre goin to crash the Lancer meet with us too, right? From 8thcivic?

add me to the ex-8th club.. just traded in my 08 nhbp fg2 for a brand new pw 370z base + sport. no pictures of the new ride yet, but here's the car i traded in:

i'll miss it. of course, i'm sure the new ride will help me get over that heh.
