My wife said no!

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.

After reading your comments about your wife, I'd say; you only live once, if your over 40 then you have probably lived more than half your life already, so when are you going to make the most of it and reward/enjoy yourself. Man life is too short, asl ong as you can financially manage it, have a steady income etc then go for it. Does your wife work or are you the only one earning bucks and she's telling you what to do?

it aint no joke, but it can be somewhat tamed...it just takes quit a bit of finessing...

Yeah....I used to see this all the time on the Corvette forum...Guys dreaming and deferring the desire for 20-30 years, then finally buying the car. I feel sorry for them. Heck, I've been living out my automotive fantasies for 40 years now! You're already behind the curve on this. Do it!

If you are physically larger than your wife I'd advise dispensing some black eyes to rectify the situation.

that just made me laugh how you worded that.

You have a point. Either way, I am upside down. The Pathfinder is depreciating at the same time. Kind of complicated. And you are right about talking payments versus price. I sent them a new offer of $500 and figured that lowers the price by about $2000 grand. It is a solid red car like your's.
