When looked at from a "mine is bigger!" standpoint, it's a poor decision. However, when viewed financially, as well as practically, regarding MY personal use for the car (cruising, spirited driving through twisties), it makes more sense by far. I wanted a supercar, I bought one, I owned it for a year, and I can check that off my bucket list.  |
I can sympathize. I just moved from a 2010 Grand Sport, which was my second Vette, into my 370Z roadster. Loved Vettes since I was old enough to say the word, but decided it was a good time to step back from the giant payments for a little while. Had a 350Z Roadster before the first Vette, so I knew they were a lot of fun too, plus, like you mentioned, the Z interior is pretty darn sweet. I was shocked how much nicer the 370 interior was, even over the 350 I had.
Like you, it was a struggle to find exactly what I wanted in this area. Original plan was for a new one, but then by pure luck, someone traded in a 2010 roadster that was EXACTLY what I wanted, and was still in great shape. Decided to let them eat the depreciation for a change! 
Hope you track one down too!
