Lets just stay neutral and offer car advice.

I agree... but I wasnt to blame for this.... Which is why Im trying to get him to atleast handle the car payments

Get something that is realistic to your income and lifestyle. If you can't afford the Z with your divorce, trade it in on something that won't cost as much. Maybe a 4Runner or Xterra...?

Best of luck.

A WRX might keep you smiling when you drive. You could stay 2 seater and get an MX-5 Miata. As you know, the doors are spectacular!

Hang in there!

GZ3 · 02-28-2011, 08:55 AM

sux, good luck...why not look into a used evo,sti, wrx, mazdaspeed, ../!?

Endgame · 02-28-2011, 09:20 AM

Wow. So sorry to hear that. There is the Evo, WRX (STI), and Nissan Juke you could look at. The Mazdaspeed 6's are cool; Audi A4's are cool....

Best wishes in this tough situation...

Sorry to hear this Sophia. I hope everything works out for ya.

You mentioned a short while ago this divorce might be in your future. Now it's here. $600/month is too much so what do you think is affordable so we can better help with car suggestions.

elmz · 02-28-2011, 09:35 AM

That sucks, good luck, I hope its a short and smooth battle. In the meantime, you should enjoy the Z while you still have it. Find some nice twisty roads, or barren roads, and drive it like you stole it!

SPOHN · 02-28-2011, 09:39 AM

+1 for the short and smooth battle. As all should be. Sorry for the losses. Life gets better.

Now go bang someone else.

ChrisSlicks · 02-28-2011, 10:04 AM

Sorry about your situation. If you need to downsize the hefty car payment I would probably step down to a older Subaru WRX (non STi). They can be found fairly cheap with reasonable miles, is a good 4 season vehicle and has room for your dogs. It is still a fun car to throw around, is easy to resell and has plenty of upgrade potential.

mark_taba85 · 02-28-2011, 10:15 AM

that blows.

i'd dread going through what you are going through.

Good luck with everything.

There are a lot of guys here. Maybe you could get with one of them since they have a Z! ^^

onzedge · 02-28-2011, 10:22 AM

Sorry for your troubles -- I have been there and have compassion for what you are going through.

Someone told me once that love is just grand, but divorce is a hundred grand (I know that's what my last one cost and then some).

Hang in there -- it gets better over time.

I feel your pain. I got laid off last year, then my wife divorced me. Lost my Z along with my house. Still getting back up on my feet. Thinking about getting the new STi now that I've landed a good job. Anyway, keep your chin up. You're not alone in this experience.
