here's what i would do. you're a teacher you should be smarter than me.

from the sound of it, your wife like the word "save money."

so...
sell the SUV to carmax or somewhere that will just take the car and give you a check. Pay off the loan/lease. you might be in the red a few grand, dont worry just pay it off.

Drive your RX7 for a year and save up that $644 in your future car budget. remind your wife frequently that you are making a sacrifice by driving a pos (?) car but want her support on buying a new Z a year later (pschological approach). show her how much the car means to you and all the sacrifices you made through the years.

buy a 2010 Z next September (or even find a used 2009) during end of year sale where you get the best bargins.

.... hope it works.

Whew! I am sure glad that my wife loves the Z car as much as I do. We had a 94 NA 300zx a few years ago, she loved driving it. The other day she said hey, lets go trade in my 08 Camry and get us an 09 370z, boy my checks have hurt from smiling so much for the last two weeks while having this thing.

I agree, get it, and she will forgive you. She will fall in love with it, its hard not to with these cars.

The first Z I bought was in 1977, told my wife I was going out looking. I drove home a 280Z, red of course. She has never let me forget get that one. This last Z I bought, I was going to need a ride to go and pick it up. So I did need a little approval, didn't get a nod but it was more friendly than 1977. Were still married. You have all the right reasons; you’re just going to be made to feel guilty for a while. Once you give her a ride and she sees all the looks you will get, I bet it all blows over real fast. Good Luck!

Sounds like wifey is just being the realistic one here. Looks like you're going to end up with a pretty bad deal regardless because you're upside down on the other car. And it seems like you're negotiating the deal based on monthly payments instead of total cost which is a big no-no.

true..but they dont even drive the suv, it just sits in the garage dry rotting away...

get rid of 2 cars; one useless and one very old and end up with a brand new z with less monthly pymt isnt a bad tradeoff at all...

im just sayin...

You guys have got to stop posting pictures of red Z's...its like the one I drove and want. My wife is Spanish and there is no temper like their's and maybe no forgiveness. I could get the silent treatment for months out of this. Who knows. Some would say that was a blessing.
