^ Awesome, and good timing.

OP - I bought a used 350z in high school and loved it. It wasn't terribly expensive, had plenty of power, and was a joy to drive. Having graduated college I now drive a 370z and can say without a doubt, the 370z is the better car. If you buy a 350 you'd likely regret it every time you see a 370z. The sport brakes are phenomenal, the car is better balanced, weighs about the same as the 350z (but sports better safety equipment), and gets slightly better gas mileage.

If you consider yourself a responsible and disciplined driver, there should be no reason not to get this car but I'd suggest buying used to save some cash. No need for the Nismo unless you really love the look of it. Performance wise its no different; slap an exhaust on a stock one and you'll be making more power than the nismo with a better sound.

Just because a car is fast doesn't mean its dangerous. A shitty car can go fast too... it just takes longer and doesn't brake as quickly.

Who's paying for the insurance on the car. Him or mom and dad?

Who cares? If your parents were going to let something like OP is talking about happen, would you have turned it down?

"No, mom, dad, I don't want a $40K car for my first car. I don't think it's responsible. I would like a $2000 beater like my friends all have."

Riiiiiiighhhht....

Some of us had nice stuff, some of us had beaters. I had both beaters and decent stuff, and now that I'm on my own I can afford nicer stuff. Either way, why begrudge someone for doing the exact same thing you probably would in their place?

Rusty

My thinking on it was. He can buy the car by himself. Did he check into insurance to see how much it's going to cost him. Or if it goes on his parents insurance. He's a first time driver with NO time behind the wheel. So he's going to get hit big time.

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
