Another "So Long" Z Thread
 
Hey guys!

I traded in my 09 Sport Z last night for a 2013 Altima. WHAT?!?!?! It's all good guys; my wife and I are expecting, so the Z isn't going to be practical. I really had a few more months I could have enjoyed the Z, but why prolong the inevitable?

Anyways, like I said I got a 2013 Altima 2.5 SL. This thing has everything I need (except for the HP lol) and then some. One thing that's pretty cool is the heated steering wheel, which I probably won't use too much here in FL, but still pretty neat. It rides like a drea; night and day from the Z (which is to be expected). Here are a few photos of the new ride; first mod will be...limo tint!

I like the new Altima. Good luck with it. :tup:

Nismo89 11-15-2012 10:22 AM

good deal! :tup: you'll be back in the Z down the road, just right at this point in time, priorities have changed a tad.

Red__Zed 11-15-2012 10:22 AM

car looks good. Congrats on the car, and bigger congrats on the kid:tup:

joshs09slvrZ 11-15-2012 10:25 AM

Thanks so much guys!! I'll admit it really sucked watching my car drive away for the last time...but then I turned my head and saw the new car with my wife next to it...and I immediately forgot about the Z lol.

I can see another Z down the road at some point...they may be even better then!

Congrats on the new car and future baby.

I am in the same boat as you!

TheGreatOne 11-15-2012 10:28 AM

Congrats on the new addition to the family! :tup: Shame to see the Z go, Altima looks good

When I see threads like this I thank the car gods that I still have the Z after just having my son. I think I'll be ok until my wife sees one of the fancy townhouses up the street go up for sale lol. :icon17:

I told her way back that I wouldn't be getting rid of it, but it's just not that practical and would be an added strain to only have 1 car that can transport a baby.

Besides, now I get to start all over on the mods haha...

Thanks man! It'll look good with some window tint...that'll happen next week.

Here are a couple shots of the interior; zero gravity seats in charcoal leather:

Also, this is a neat feature. When I hit the unlock button on the remote, these lights turn on; they are very bright at night:

I hear you on that one, I was lucky enough to pick up a VW Golf on a short term lease but I tell you...I get the dirty looks every now and then because of the 3rd car lol.

and ya, don't see enough modded Altima's! Interior is pretty sharp from your pics!

joshs09slvrZ 11-15-2012 10:55 AM

I thought about keeping it...but can't justify the added payments.

cptspeed 11-15-2012 10:59 AM

congrats! Your life has just changed for the better. I assume you traded with the mods?

Hey man! Yeah I just left everything on the car. Didn't have the time to take everything off, nor did I want to spend the time. I can't wait for everything to come man!

joshs09slvrZ 11-15-2012 07:00 PM

Haha!! Thanks for all the replies and good wishes guys. I've already picked out a sweet looking car seat to match the interior; may even throw some LEDs on it lol.

OldGuy 11-15-2012 09:11 PM

The new Altima is truly beautiful. The new style is gorgeous. I've owned two Altimae over the years. They are trouble free cars and about the best car value out there. See you back here again after your kids' high school graduations :)

Congrats on the new ride, looks sweet and congrats on the new coming baby.
