@FL 4Motion I've just been doing payment estimators online. And truecar.com shows at Invoice Price a 2012 Touring Manual Gun Metallic with Sprt Package, Nav unit, Kickplate, splash guard, Carpeted front/trunk mats to be around 39,414. With 11,000 downpayment it shows around 500 bucks. And I have a Credit Score of 740 right now, I figure at best I'll get 2.99% for 60 months.

Does that sound good?

I still think your payment sounds high but that is probably being driven most by the cost of the car as you are est it. If you are married to the idea of getting a brand new '12, then your wiggle room with the dealerships will be lower than if you are willing to pick up a new left over '11 or perhaps lightly used 370z.

At the end of the day, honestly, the $$ car payment is irrelevant if you can comfortably swing it and you aren't sacrificing quality of life in other areas, ie food, entertainment, savings, house etc. If you aren't doing that, then it's just disposable income and you can spend it on much worse than a Z (hookers and blow come to mind, wait, maybe that's a better use...I'm so confused right now.)
