Crazy idea?!

Chuck33079

You've got a nearly new car. Keep it. If you trade it in, you'll take it in the *** since you're either underwater or very close to it. Stop modding the car, save your pennies and get out of the car when it's financially responsible.

Yes, it's a bad idea to trade a nearly new car for a older used one of unknown mileage and upkeep.

Or be a typical consumer and keep rolling negative equity forward so you'll still be paying for the Hyundai six cars from now.

I've owned both an auto and manual Z. I prefer the manual, but if you want an auto in any car the Z is the one to get it in. If anyone gives you any "I'm insecure in my manhood" flack, just tell them you are a serious 1/4 mile racer and only the quickest transmission would do for you (the 7AT is fast). Then excuse yourself to go get a creatine and dynamite milkshake that you need to drink before you go fertilize all the ripe ova at the nearby Hooters.

Even though Hyundai has come a long way from there past massive failures I still think they have not garnered the confidence back yet in the general public. The rapid depreciation only seems to strengthen this point.
@ op-- you should drive the car for at least a couple more years and try to pay it off as much as you can. It is still a nice car so it shouldn't be too hard to wait it out.

hey op- was this you that sent me a rep with the above comments? LOL

if so, you not ready for a Z.

I own both, a manual Z and a manual GC 3.8, and there is no doubt in my mind that I would take the Z over the Genesis.

so you like your genesis more than your z?

zguynate

Yeah man. It has a bigger motor. There's no replacement for displacement bro.

Jk lol. I don't know if you read that right. If I were given the option, I would choose the Z rather than the Genesis. The Z is a much more refined car all the way around. In every aspect. And whoever said the interior is better on the Genesis must be smoking crack lol.

4 seats, quieter, lots of options



or



with the nav, 10 speakers, power seats, sunroof this car is cheaper than the base Z.

maybe you have a touring Z? i love my touring nav Z's interior but compared to the base, the genesis is quite nice for the price.

I think we needs to compare apples, he doesn't have a 2013 gen coupe (your pic above) so his interior is more like this..............

I test drove the track edition a while back but my 2012 Z was love at first sight, given the fact that I already had a 300zx, 350z, 09 370z which I traded for the 2012Z (impulse buy) Great deal was not upside down. Anyways, I can tell you that the Genesis track edition interior is awesome blows the Z interior away. But I still felt that the Z was more aggressive and felt more manly. LOL.

Here is my advice, since you just got your Genesis a while back and only 10k on it I would just keep it. I am not a fan of going back to an 09 especially the Z that year was not a good year for the Z. If you do decide I would try to go for a 10 or 11. I am willing to bet right now if you would go to your local Nissan dealer and just be straight out and tell them pay off my car and I will jump in your Z I bet they can work something out. In the end it will be up to you this is just my 2 cents.

Its a nice driving car. You will get more cash selling it than trading it in. Why did you get a 2.0T instead of the V6? Turbos are fun to mod. It will be more fun than the Subaru BRZ so just enjoy it.

370Z isn't all that...and you don't need to take a hit.

kenchan

troyz- per your threads you started, we question whether you really know wat a z is.
