Next Z to be unveiled in 2013 Tokyo auto show.

Well z was never an option. Insurance goes up and gas ain't much better so it wouldn't net me any kind of savings really Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

18? According to my math that would save me 60 or so a month in gas. But Insurance raises like 120 for me.

The brz driven with a lead foot still gets upwards of 30. Ill say 26 for fun. That would save me another 50 on top of the 370, and insurance will drop 100 (I'm switching companies soon so that's why the big drop)

The epa has a BRZ at 28 combined, and it needs premium.

Just following along, and I know I'm late and I don't know your financial details...

- don't buy a new car unless you can throw the money at it and not miss it/sweat it. That includes the debt, which as Chuck said, is not good debt. If you can pay ~$600/mo and not feel the pinch, have at it.

- If you don't have a girlfriend and would like a girlfriend, a new car won't compete with having your own home. Unless you plan on uprooting elsewhere, it's not a *bad* idea to get into some good debt. But definitely talk around to anyone you know who's had a property or two. Unless you know what you're getting into, you might end up being very disappointed. Or you might end up taking a big loss and avoiding that idea again. Good debt, but it *is* a commitment.

Anyway, I know the advice is likely not wanted, but a car only fills a certain part of life's desires/needs. Think about the other parts, too. (I should bookmark such advice for my future self!)

I'm paying 514 a month on the stang and 326 a month on insurance. And if I loved the car I wouldn't mind. If it was a 370 or any car I would love I wouldn't think twice, and I'd actually mod it (stupid financially but your only young once) even with the stang it's not a big deal to me, just wish it was something I wish I would wake up and think "man I want to go drive that"

I have a gf but I wouldn't buy a car to try to get one if I didnt. I buy it for...well....The joys of being young. The same reason you all bought a 370.

But new car talk is long gone. Now to find a used something! New car after I'm making 100k+! 4 more years let's hope
