Nissan 370Z Forum - What did you do with your Z today IV

I actually thought about replacing my Civic with a BRZ and throwing some decent all-seasons on it, it would make a really fun DD... But with the no-haggle price and it being a hot car I can't make the numbers work vs. the .9% APR on the Honda.

We usually wind up with some extra tickets for at least a game or two, so I'll be sure to keep you on the short list :tup:

but then the issue was if im spending that kind of money on a hatch, why not spend a tad more and see if i can find a clean used STI-hatch. but then i can't locate one in my area that is stock. so im like if im not going to get what at i really like anyway, just go cheap. :icon17:

i found that there's no car in the mid-$20K range that i WANT. :ugh2: it's either sub $18K (cheap so who cares, i will buy it) or above $32K (it's out of my range for this winter beater).

Ken,

Sorry for the late reply. I have a base model 2012 with a 6sp trans. Its loaded as is(most normal features). Sticker was right at 23,900$ new. I bought it for 20,900$ used with only 4kmiles. New but used. Perfect. I certainly understand the lack of connection piece. Cars are like anything else, it just needs to feel right. Good luck no matter what you choose! :)

hi DLSTR- :tup: thanks. i am still looking... but getting very tired of looking and test driving. the only part i enjoy is talking to the sales guy and joking around with him and suddenly all serious kenchan game face.

:icon23: <= kenchan game face

maybe this is where im going wrong... apparenly i am too comfortable making bold statements in their faces.

So I eventually go for (2), more blends-in and believe it's better for a 19"

i gotz headache now. subaru dealer apparently got 2 impreza hatches now in-stock both cvt's. one of them is very similar to the trim i want but has leather, in the right color, right color wheels.

price is basically firm due to minimum availability...which is almost $1K higher than wat i was able to get the dealer to offer on a MS3. :icon14:

This might be the end of the road for the 6.

9 yrs, 162000 mi, beat up as hell.

Might DD the Z while shopping for something new.

If the fix is cheap enough, i may fix the six.

Best of luck whichever route you choose. The Z as a DD is very enjoyable IMHO (even if it would only be temporary) :tiphat:

Sorry your life is temporarily a Country/Western song shadoquad. Hope everything turns out OK all around. :(

Here's a tip: When you fill out your Nissan questionnaire about your purchase experience, and you put that you were less than completely satisfied, even if you check the box that says "I don't wish to have the dealer follow up" on your bad experience, Nissan still forwards them the info, and they will follow up. :rolleyes:
