Sitting here at Nissan
 

Looking at a Mag Blue new 09Z touring. Theyll let it go for 31k. Theyre running the numbers now. Hopefully the monthly payment isnt much more than what Im paying now. If all works out, I need to swap all parts of my black Z onto the new one. I need some luck...its almost by birthday:)

You mean Monterey Blue? Good choice in color! Good luck

Yea haha, used to saying mag black Oops!

You're changing to Monterey blue just because you like the color better? Or are other factors involved?

Yeah, little crazy to swap for the same year car in a different color.

unless she's going to get 6MT with Sports package

Once Sophia wants it, it's done

great choice and best color of course

Lads, this is a woman. Don't try to figure out her way of thinking. As long as she's happy, enough said.

:iagree:

^^ haha.....no I currently have the Black base model with many add-ons. I seen the Blue in person a month ago and fell in love. Also, I've always wanted the white or persimmon leather. The new one has everything I want...since it's the touring /sport with the frost leather.
So, yea they worked oout the numbers and can get me to take it home for only $6 mre a month. That's AWESOME! BUT.. I called my husband to tell him I'm coming home with a new car and he FLIPPED! Even talking about divorce if I buy this car. Needless to say...I left the dealership with my Black one :( I guess I no longer wear the pants.

I told the dealership to give me til Monday so I can try and work something out with the butt-head.

I'm really ticked at the way he was talking to me...... and especially since my BDAY is next week!

I feel sorry for your husband.

^^whys that?!

Funny thing is.....his 30th bday is coming on Nov 1st....I was gonna throw him a surprise party with all his family and friends..not sure if I want to dish out that kind of money after all this crap that's going on. A pat on the back and a card will just have to make due

maybe he is surprising you with the blue Z?

Not the D word
 

Hey, Sorry to hear about your deal getting slammed, but that's one of those things about being married-no big financial decisions w/out the consent of both. He shouldn't have brought up the D word (not cool), but I guess he was hurt that you didn't discuss it w/ him and include him in the decision. This is part of the reason I'm currently single. I'm selfish and like things my way or it's the highway. Maybe things will work out for you and the Blue Z will be yours. Either way you still have a sweet Z in your garage. Good luck.

Ummm, Sophia, "only $6 more a month" isn't what's important - how much extra would you end up paying for this deal? How much longer is the loan period and at how much per month? You need to look at the real cost of the deal, not just the per month difference in payments.

Calm down and do the math, and you just might find out that your husband was doing the right thing. And you really shouldn't be making major financial decisions by yourself - how would you like it if your husband decided on his own to make a $30,000 decision without consulting you? Just sayin...

But, best wishes on this turning out well for both of you! :)

Just don't give him ANY! and he will cave in!! The Power of Women. Don't under estimate it. In the past It's brought down empires.
Good Luck. :tiphat:

Yea...he's gonna have to wait for some treats..... my goodies are staying in the wrapper :mad:

x2

You're losing money no matter how you look at it.

Sophia,

I understand how much you want the Monterey Blue color Z, but you already have nice car as it is. I don't think it will be a killer for you to just stick with your current car. I hope your situation gets worked out. Best wishes!

hope it works out for you, sophiaZ! :)

The situation is as stands.
I just don't know why some are against me getting the new one. To me I see it like this- A brand new car, a color that's more easily maintained, has the leather and wheels I want...for the same price I pay now for a hard to maintain color, cloth sets (that are a pain to clean when my dogs get hair everywhere, and no satellite radio. To me its a WIN/WIN.

I'm for getting what you want. You're paying for it. :driving:

Well I would have spoken to him FIRST and told him all that. Then if he did what he did I would tell him to :gtfo2: if he has a problem with that. That's why I am single. :ughdance: F- that. If I want a new car, I am getting it. IF I am paying of course. And IF it is reasonable. This is reasonable. And you have some valid points there. Any woman I end up with will be CAR/MOD FRIENDLY damn it! LOL (and you are a woman and he is a guy!) :facepalm:

I do see the points being made. You will be paying more for the car even though it's only $6 more a month. (clock resets on loan, etc) And in this economy maybe that is not the best move. But we all are driving two seaters with bad gas mileage that require expensive gas and you only live once! Do what makes you happy I say! Good luck and hope it works out for you.

I'd go get the blue car and then throw him the surprise party. I just turned 30 and my wife threw me an awesome surprise party....go karts and everything. Don't rob him of that, and let him take the goodies out of the wrapper :). Best bet is to come home with the blue Z and just be naked when you tell him about it. I'd have a tough time being mad at my wife in that situation.

How much negative equity do you have wrapped up in this loan already? Something tells me you've done something like this before.

Just buy the car. If your other half can't get over it then get a new one to go with the new car. It's a win/win!!!:tup:

Hahahaha that should do the trick. :icon18::tup:

I guess once you go black, you do go back...

Yea..this is my 3rd situation in this category ;) LOLz

Yea..he won't budge on the car thing. He says I've owned too many cars since we've met, and I spend too much time cleaning up my car (DUH...why else would I want to get rid of the black one?) he said to me just a few minutes ago..."Get used to your ugly BLACk Z that you hate so much cuz you're not getting rid of it for 4 more years when it's paid off!" WOW..I never said I hated it haha..once again..he over exaggerates everything!

And to answer what someone said earlier....I do tend to trade in my cars when the loan is more than what I paid for the car...bad bad habit. Shite, I prbably still have my 05 Neon partially in this loan:shakes head: It's not that I'm not happy with what I got, it's just that I'm a royal pain in tha AZZ!:hello:

I work for a Pharmaceutical company and I've been there for 10 years and very stable.My companies earnings have actually be the best in the past 2 years...figuring probably because of all the layoffs and people going crazy..we're selling drugs like mad! haha I'm not worried about the economy...my mouth is what'll get me in trouble :eek:

Haha, he should've known what he was getting into when he married you.

And ugly black Z? Time to bust out of the angry black female attitude: NUH UH OH NO HE DIDN'T!!

HAHA...but he wasn't saying it's ugly..hes just being stupid and acting like that's how I feel.

And yes..he knew how I have been with cars before we got married. He's always trying to change me " Stop smoking, slow down drinking, stop being obsessed with your car, stop wanting so many animals..." GEEZ, the list can go on forever...and I need to stop before yall start judging me too haha

I agree that you should have discussed it with him first. I have been married to my present wife for 28 years and she has always been agreeable to me purchasing cars and mods as long as we can afford it and I let her know what I am doing. She has been great that way and I am a very lucky man. She shares in my passion for cars and I truly appreciate that. Give it a few days and have a calm discussion with him. He may come around. Tell him that life is too short to drive a car that you really don't want. When you both get older you will realize that more and more. Hell, if I had the money I would have a Ferrari, but I make just enough to have a nice 370Z and $$$ left over to mod the hell out of it. It's a car - it IS NOT worth getting divorced over.

AZ

^ This ^

if its the same loan length, its only an extra $360 in difference between the last loan and this loan.

The biggest difference here though is the 12 payments you've already paid and the down payment. I can't imagine whatever number that comes out to being very pretty. You'd just have to think about whether that comes out to is worth the extras.

That being said, and being a car salesman, I'd love to have you as a customer :) Too bad I sell Hondas....

I agree with everything you said.
What everyone isn't understanding is that ( quick story)...I always go to Nissan alone for my maintenance and all that. I went today cuz my one splash guard was hanging and my rear bumper wasn't properly aligned. While waiting..for shites and giggles, I went out to their lot to see what they had. I seen this beautiful 09 sitting there all lonesome and had them run up the numbers (not thinking it was even feasible) When they said it was good to go I was shocked and texted my husband saying "bringing home a new Z, don't be mad, kay?'' I've said that before just playing around w/o getting quoted. So when I did REALLY ASK if it was ok..all hell broke loose. So I in fact actually did ask him,so I'm not faulty in that sense.
I always check to see if a purchase is ok...even if I want to buy a shirt online (for example)

it's only $6 bucks more a month:tup: ...boy, your husband doesn't know what type of hell he''ll have o pay down the road!!!

Perhaps we should introduce your husband to my wife. She has many of the same complaints and often thinks I'm having an affair with my car.

I don't get it. If a man/husband/boyfriend were to even attempt to spend that kind of money w/o consulting the woman, all hell would break loose. I've been married for almost 20 years. One thing I've learned is that I start slowly with the thought of buying something big like a car, TV, or whatever. I've just gotten used to it, and I'm the sole earner in my house. It's just common courtesy.
