At 31 I can easily afford a Lambo or Ferrari but instead have a Z and S2000 and a house paid off with a healthy retirement fund and looking to get into the real estate game. And I only buy pre owned. It's all about living below your means. I'm shocked that the recession hasn't taught more people that and only because the economy is rebounding people are getting back into their entitlement habits. A $100K job doesn't mean get a $100k car just because you can easily afford the payments. I will get off my soap box, it wasn't directed at you but something I constantly see. I would go with option 1 above. |

Shame to see it go but seems like you have your priorities in check!
I couldn't imagine letting my Z go right now Its exactly why my bike doesn't see much action, I enjoy driving too much lol, especially as I get to drive her less often these days due to the little one.

Good luck. The Xterra is a nice ride and pretty refined compared to it's competition, and the Pro-4X actually has some capability with the rear locker.
Worth keeping in mind that getting a truck that costs less monthly isn't really saving money in the long run. |

I would love to, but my move to TX can only happen after I sell the Z. So if you know anybody in the DFW area, which is where I'm going, that wants a white Nismo Z they can buy mine and get it shipped there for cheap or possibly free.

This. I bought my car 18 months ago, and am seriously considering getting rid of my Z and buying something with cash. Dave Ramsey FTW. Poor people ask "what are the payments?". Rich people ask "how much?".

I work 48 miles from work and when it snows hear on the island they do not plow right away for some reason. I would not be able to make it to work in the Versa. I also do not want to go out get a brand new truck then put 100 miles a day on it so I need two cars.

Only thing that saddens me about owning my Z is having to store it for 4-5 months a year

I don't understand? A Versa can handle 1 2 3 ft of snow? I understand we don't always get that kind of snow but when we do which is often I will not be able to make it to work. As for point 2 I'm not buying a brand new truck to then kill it in 3 years when it has 60-70k on the clock, plus I would get killed in gas.
