Trading Z to Evo

CrownR426 · 01-08-2011, 02:36 PM

Yes, I wish this decision was easy but it's not right now...
I test drove both trims, the GSR and the MR earlier today.
Did not live up to my expectations.
Although you can take turns at very high speeds other than that it seemed boring.
Acceleration didn't get me too excited but man does that Turbo sound sweet!

Crown, education comes first. You have ALL YOUR LIFE to enjoy and buy whatever you like. But right now your main goal/focus should be on education. As RCZ and some others said, sell your 370Z and get a cheap affordable car (May I suggest 2011 civic. Get 38 MPG on highway and you can buy one for like 15K invoice or a 2011 Nissan Versa for 13K brand new). That's what I would do. I have simply seen way too many kids buying expansive Benz and Bimmer to act cool in school, then ended up working 40 hours a week to pay for it. Due to working so many hours, they keep dropping class, getting Cs or delaying their graduation. You have to get your goal straight Crown. Of course this is just my opinion and I'm only telling you this because I like you.

Yes, I have been thinking about this too.

I guess some budget cuts won't hurt and I need to start looking for some rims and snow tires.

My trade in value was horrible O____O;;

I thought I was being played with.

Sell ur Z, go get a used EVO8 RS pre modded.

chuckd05 · 01-08-2011, 03:07 PM

Evo = $$$ pit

And the only thing it has on the z is speed after extensive moddding

chuckd05 · 01-08-2011, 03:18 PM

I get the feeling crown won't baby a car a modded Evo will eat syncros for lunch , the z is atleast reliable and has a warranty. Evos also always can go faster and mOdding gets to be a habit .. My fav is a 9 MR tho. Sick car just not any cheaper IMO

Looks are subjective but the z is def a classier car

I picked up a 97 Subaru legacy GT 2.5. For this winter. I have had a blast in it. Keeping miles off the Z plowing through snow and when I drive the Z it feels like a Ferrari now. It's awesome, 2k well spent.

I've done a great job on my Z so far!
Just wish I can drive it in snow. lol...
I always have a shovel/ice breaker/salt with me when I drive.
Just incase I get stuck XD

Did not pop a motor nor do I want to experience that.

I don't think I have it in me to let my Z go...
Just can't go out every weekend to the city.

Vegitto-kun · 01-08-2011, 04:58 PM

Yes, I can name many things I'd love to have.
Until then I must wait.

Vegitto-kun · 01-08-2011, 05:22 PM

Yes but here you make a topic about selling your Z and knowing you will lose money and then buying a Evo.

But snow tires are NO WAY.

No offense mate but this somehow smell of attention seeking/boredom.
