Might get a 370z soon.... hopefully

Nismo89 · 07-11-2012, 09:45 PM

i put 12k down on my 2011 brand new, negociated a grand off the price they were asking and they STILL wanted me to pay over $400 a month. i managed to get them below $400 to $387.96 a month.

your 16 you say? typically these types of cars are death machines because kids/people around that age tend to have the excited mindset of " omg a 370z! sports car FASTT!!!! ima show my friends my ride! hehe no car is as fast as me!" ....... show boat and eventually wreck it and jack the insurance sky high OR blow by an officer and get pulled over for speeding, get your car taken away, and your license suspended AND your insurance rate ROCKETING through the roof on price.

you HAVE to keep a level head about you with a car like this or any sports car. it can killl you. all cars can kill IF you let them. i got myself a 2008 hyundai accent and drove it for a few years, getting comfortable with driving. and not letting temptation of speed and racing take hold of me.

now? i enjoy the car. and the temptation of speed and high school honda people trying to race me..... doesnt get to me too much now. if i want to let it loose, i take it to the drag strip.

also..... the car is in their name? title and all? or would be? that means if you do not make the payments, it will effect their credit. which isnt a good thing.

get all your eggs in line before you crack one open.... otherwise you just made a mess of things.

If I find one I like for around 25k I might get it, but then again I might wait now until I save up a little more. Also, I don't show of or anything, lol. The main reason my parents even let have a nice car and like the idea of me having a nice car is because I am very responsible. I don't speed, I barely drink which is surprising for a 16yr old, absolutely don't drink and drive, I don't try to show off or anything like that. Shoot, I don't even mention my car to anyone unless they ask me first. Also, the big reason is because I am more mature and resposible than most 16 year olds. (might have something to do with being raised around girls?

") I have even already graduated high school 2 years early and plan on starting college in the fall and I even plan on going to med school to be an anesthesiologist. So I'm for sure not gonna be an idiot if I get one, lol.

You are not normal. Not to stereotype or anything, but are you Asian?

I got an idea. Buy a college beater get your degree as a anesthesiologist etc. then get the job and buy your car. Problems solved. Damn that makes so much sense and I am starting to sound old and practical. LOL

^^^This..

What we have are wants and needs.. This is a good time to start that mindset..

Because trust me, you will battle wants and needs your whole life..

If you can be more practical to start, and start that pattern now, then get your degree..

Trust me, you will be quite successful and have everything you want.

Because if you cave in now, and start that pattern, later you will buy the new car rather than save money. Buy the new toys rather than wait and invest for the long term.

If you just gotta have it, start with a low miles 350Z.. Because do you plan to live at home and have your parents pay your insurance into your early twenties ? Or do you plan to prepare to be out on your own ?

Something to think about...Wants and needs...
