Trading Z to Evo

ImportConvert

I am confused here. The 370Z has a 5/60 powertrain and 3/36 warranty, and you shouldn't be outside either of those. Oil/brakes/tires won't be any cheaper than on the EVO.

I was broke as hell in college and rolled an old WS6, and yeah, THAT was a PITA when it broke. No warranty, but with a warranty it sounds like you have it made?

The thing I would worry with (depending on your downpayment) is being upside down in trade possibly?

Oil only needs to be changed every 6K miles or so if you use a good synthetic. It only takes an hour or two of your time and about $80 even if you use some of the more expensive oil/filter combos out there.

The Evo will get worse mileage.

Weather conditions, the Evo will do better with AWD.

Getting yelled at by friends and family for spending your money how you want can be cured by telling them to shove it and finding new friends/setting limits with your family.

Cleaning? I don't understand this cost or how it would differ between a Z and an EVO. Same with traffic.
