How is it an insult??? I'm just saying the both of you end up in the same thread backing each other up.. you can follow all my posts where mustang argues with me and you are right there inciting and backing up his statements... . that's a fact not an insult and this thread is now dead... you're late to the party. Good day. |

Also agree that keeping your car is the best idea. I went with a 6 year loan so I could have lower payments while I'm still in school. Car will probably be paid off like 2 years into the loan.

I think the conclusion you reached about keeping your car is probably the best choice ( i think that's what you decided based on reading through the thread. Buying a new version of the same car before is never a good idea unless there is a major change. It'd be like if you had a 2003 350z, then sold it for a 2006 350z, you'd be kicking yourself when the 370z came out.

the newer japanese cars coming out now aren't that light. Nowadays with lighter components, a mid $ rage sports car like the Z doesn't necessarily have a handling or weight advantage over a GT car (coupe with back seats ) like the mustang. i'm just speaking categorically, not about specific models. But yea, nowadays a mid 3000lb car is mid 3000lb car, whether or not it has 2 seats or 4. you can call it a sports car all you want, the typically accepted sports car definition is a car that is a light, RWD, 2 door car with not necssarily a ton of power. However once you start adding weight to be as much as a GT car, then you've got to add power too. |
