To answer the question: No I do not regret purchasing my Z. I am seriously thinking that this is a car that I will never sell.
I like to switch up cars every 3 or 4 years, would financing of been a better choice?

No... with financing you're paying extra money to eventually own it

Exactly, leasing is better for your situation

Completely different situations... that guy likes having no payments. He did not suggest financing to you because it doesn't make sense for you. Why would you ask this question when he didn't suggest you finance?

Do what you want man... xip wasn't trying to dog you. He was simply stating what you are obviously thinking, but instead you keep asking questions like a troll If you want car payments for years on end, great; enjoy your new cars I personally hate to lease cars and would rather buy used, but I understand why a lease makes sense for some people (my wife's Acura is a lease). To each their own

Just want to clarify -- I am not trying to jump all over you for your decision. If you know you will switch to a new car every 3 years, I think leasing is your best option. It is not the best option for me.

It is YOUR money, spend it how you want to.

Certainly the Z is not a "Practical" car purchase by any stretch. I had to convince myself to make this purchase (which I am glad I did -- the extra cost of car ownership for the Z is worth it for the driving pleasure it gives me).

We all have to make choices on how to spend our money.

Well put Speed! But, Practical, Schmactical! If it's got 4 wheels, any car can be as practical as it's owner that uses it. I'll be stopping for groceries in my Z after work! Not only do I bring home the milk and bread, I also get my exercise because I park about a "mile" away from the entrance. Can't be too carefully with roaming carriages and careless people.
