Hey all,

I'm from Panama City, FL and new to the forums and to the Z. I've been thinking a lot about getting the 370z but there are just a few problems that is keeping me from buying it.

The first problem is whether I should get the Z brand new or used. People tend to get bored of their cars around 5 years or so. The thing here is that when you buy a used car it will be MUCH cheaper than getting a brand new one.

The second problem is that the car is a 2 seater. I dont really mind this problem but there are those rare occasions where you need room to carry big things. Such as a TV you got on sale at Thanksgiving or whatever. You wont be able to fit it in the car.

The third problem is currently I have a 04 Toyota 4Runner V8. This is a nice car for carrying things. If I decide to get the Z should I keep this car around? If I do then as you all know I would have to pay insurance for both cars which sucks.

What do you guys think?

Welcome aboard. The Z might not fit your needs, only you can decide whether you need both vehicles and whether or not you can afford both. Financial experts usually recommend getting cars lightly used.

Good luck!

you could lay a 40-somethin inch TV down in the back I'm sure. maybe the hatch won't close all the way and it'll be hitting your head, but you'll get it home. lol

welcome and gl! make sure to take lots of pics!
