Trying to buy a new Z

Go buy the freaken car at the high price then. 4 pages and you're worried about availability, cost, or sport package?

It's already 4 pages long, either you buy the car, or just wait in few months once production resumes. I mean, you could just wait 4 or 5 more months later and then tell everyone "HEY GUYS, I BOUGHT 2012 MODEL AND IT HAS 3 EXTRA THINGS THAT IS BETTER THAN 2011. /sarcasm"

Lastly, where the hell happened to the extra $10000 that you still owed to the altima. How is it a bad trade, you said they want it for 20,000, but you still owed $10,000. That's $10,000 anyways. So you're worried about extra $1000 that's being covered by $1500 from insurance for collision? Buy the car without sport package, slap on some $1000 Limited Slip Diff, bust out $2500 for BBK, and learn how to heal toe. If not, then buy the car with sport package. Too expensive, then save your money and wait until few months. If can't decide, then flip a coin, and then flip it one more time. DONE!

Anyways I would think that saving my money to buy the Z later would be counter-productive. I save money but the value of my altima goes down.

Like I said I've made my choice and I'm going to see if I can get a substancial discount by going without the sport package. It depends on what the dealer can find for me.



So the only thing I wouldn't be able to add later is the SRM. I don't think that will bother me to much. This will be my first manual car so I was worried about rough shifting, but it's not like SRM will save my transmission from premature wear? (IDK)

As for DJ-of-E dont mind him, he's just cranky that he wasnt able to get the color he really wanted cause he didnt want to wait, lol jk
