hi my dealer called me today they have a nice 2015 sti in stock, stage 2, 38k km. im currently driving a 370z nismo 2015, 28k km, intake, exhaust done.
Dealer said i can just trade the car.
I def love the z, and love the sti too! and also i live in AB, Canada, the Z is absolutely not drivable in the winter. BUT the Z looks soooo good!
SHOULD I trade the car????
OMG I wish i can have them both.
Can you guys give me some ideas?

EDIT 1: Thank you guys for all your kind words! I really love my Z but it's a shame that I can only drive her 5 or 6 months a year, maybe even less. STI is a good car too, and yes I vape xD/ We shouldn't judge ppl by what kind cars they drive but how they drive. My car history is 328> GCoupe> the Z, all RWD. Really tired of how rwd drive in the terrible winter even with snow tires. Sliding every corner is fun but not fun for 6 months. I hate have to drive my Q7 or truck everyday in winter. I will talk to the dealer about the price of sti and trade in value.

This is my personal take on the two

370z: Driver's car
STI: Boy racer's car

If you're going to go this route or similar, I'd go Focus RS or Golf R. Might be a little more but imo so worth it

My question would be - is he trying to get rid of the STI, or does he really want the Z?

If the answer to both questions is yes, then why do you want get something he is trying hard to get rid of, or why give him something that he really wants (which you already have)?

Snow tires? My Jeep sat in the garage all last winter. The Z did just fine with a set of snow tires on it.

I think your winters must be different than ours in Canada. There is NO WAY our Z's are anything but horrible in the snow up here.

No don't. You're gonna be a SSUSusuuuu--suuuuu-baaa----ruuuu-UUUU driver. You're gonna be the type to switch out of the slow lane only to drive side-by-side with the driver in front of you, slap on bumper stickers about I <3 Earth and some extremist liberal stuff, inexplicably have a bike rack on your car that you never use, take full stops at intersections on hills while people driving manual Z's behind you are left to suffer, eat pistachios, obsessively watch the Discovery Channel, keep the radio set to NPR, have an "emergency poncho" in the back seat, never take more than one passenger, flip the car over at some point, drive into a lake, drink kale smoothies, never take showers, pour milk before the cereal, don't even the drink after finishing the cereal, all this stuff:

(4 minute mark especially)

Trust me, you don't want to be a goofy Subaru driver, ever.

I'm sure they are milder, but I was quite impressed with the difference snow tires made. Back when I drove my Mustang daily I never had a set for it, and there were times, I couldn't get the car out of the driveway. My Jeep is all over the place all the time in the snow. However this winter with the Z (which is my daily driver) the snow we did get it was actually great.

I've never known anyone to just want to trade something that was an even deal. Generally trading is the way people get rid of basket cases / things they can't get rid of any other way.

I managed to drive mine with bald tires in the snow. It wasn't easy but it was doable

This!! why would you do a straight up trade? if the dealer is even offering that than they definitely think they are getting the better deal...no CAR salesman is ever just looking out for your interests
