Nothing wrong with a nicely modded and clean 350Z. I think you'll be happy with the 07 or 08.

Good luck.

That's the least he can do.Love the color and the fangs. (could that be a metaphor?)
People, do we even know their situation, no, so stop making ridiculous comments like "make the soon to be ex pay". for all we know Sophia may be to blame.

Lets just stay neutral and offer car advice.

I wouldn't wish what you are going through on anyone - I've had quite a few friends go through it recently and it's never pretty. Hang in there and rely on your good friends!

I'd vote for a well cared for, used Z as a replacement.
I actually got the first dog when I moved in, second dog was a wedding girft to myself haha and the third pup I got after 2 yrs married. One each relationship stage... and than got rid of the third dog over divorce

To everyones question... Id be comfortable with a $300 mo payment. And Im only getting a one bedroom aprtment so I can downsize to a studio with 2 dogs and all my stuff. Im gonna be paying an arm and a leg for it just to stay local.

i know this might not be taken too well, but how about considering a cheap, reliable beater until you get back on your feet. Save on those 300/month car payments and then come back to the 370z community in full force? Besides the 370z will be a bit cheaper as well. Just throwin ideas out there. Sorry to hear about your troubles.

Well, since you aren't going to tell the whole story and he isn't here to tell his...(although I am VERY curious how the woman lost the house and the car and the man paid for nothing if its all "his fault", considering how the court system USUALLY works...)


Anyway, try finding a cheaper appartment. I shopped around until I found a GREAT appartment for peanuts. You just look around and I bet you can cut a couple hundred off rent without sacrificing living conditions. Or rent a house. Or get a roommate.

Can you re-finance the car for a longer time frame?

If you have a good car and you like it and it has been reliable for you, try to hang onto her!

I'm VERY sorry to hear this Sophia . As many said, constant browsing on daily newspaper or rent.com (or few other cool sites) will lend you a nice apartment for really cheap! As for car, you can let it go. It's probably the best idea. Get situated first. Then, you can always buy another Z sometime down the line. If you need anything or help, feel free to let me know.

INKY will be missed! Hopefully we can find a good home from one of the forum member. Did you list it in the for sale section?
