Maybe, depends on the state, etc. Also depends on the "deal". I have people PM me all the time wondering how the hell my insurance is as low as it is through a major company (Allstate).

You're how old, and what's your credit rating? He's 16 and no credit rating. Big difference. LOL

25, 700+

Oh jeez, 16? Wow. Okay, I learned to drive in Texas, so I was thinking 17-18. Yeah, insurance may not even be possible.

NY is along way from Texas. LOL In his post, he said that he just got his license. I figure that would put him about 16. NY is a lot different then Texas for getting a driver license I bet. Insurance is different too. I brought this insurance thing up because I have seen where somebody could afford the vehicle, but not the insurance and up keep on it. Then watch it get repo.

If he is 16, it is very possible he may not even be able to FIND insurance for the vehicle.

Have you driven a 370Z? Let alone a 350Z?

They have a lot of power especially for someone who just got their license. Are you prepared to pay for maintenance? If something goes wrong after the warranty is up? Do you have any mechanical knowledge?

Back to my point if a Z is an absolute must, test drive one, hell some places allow you to track sports cars for a dollar amount per lap. More than likely they will have a Z. Push it to the limits and see if you are experienced enough to drive one.
Like mention above by the early raisers that the insurance premium will be probably more than the car payment.

Same, except I'm not at work right now. I just keep the same hours whether I am at the hospital or not.

When my twins turned 16 we had one more driver than car. My insurance company's policy was to put the extra driver on the most expensive car. I was paying about $120 a month for the twin on the F150 and $240 on the twin they put on the 350Z. I saved $120 a month in insurance costsby buying an extra car. :D Teenager + Z = huge insurance cost.

Exactly. No offense, but you will crash it...

My advice is buy the 370z,

Me and my mother saved up and finally got my dream car which was 03 6sp g35 coupe pearl wht loaded out, too bad i ran into a deer when i moved to georgia from texas.
bought it when i was 15! no lie.

never even drove stick, but did have driving experience. i was born in ny, and if you can drive in NY u can drive anywhere in tha world.

im 20 now and i drive a 96 honda accord bone stock.

all in all....... 370 ovr 350 anyday

P.S. O'doyle rules!

Well, another thing to consider after seeing that you live in New York is what are you going to do for a winter vehicle. A rear wheel drive vehicle shouldn't be your first choice of car for a beginner driver especially if it is your ONLY car.
