That'd look sick if those were ghost flames...

There was a 2003 G35 Coupe Ivory Pearl with black roof for 16K in Totonto. The owner is on another forum and is a good guy. The price was amazing, it included all the parts too. It also has variable Tints!!

I was somewhat in the same boat as you are in. I am currently 21 years old and have had my 370z for about 10 months. The only difference was I came into some money (family reasons), and sold my previous car (which I personally had none of my own money in). I put it all towards a new 370z and paid it off and came out with only having 16k of my own money in it. My dad insured the 370z under his name, and it cost only $1000 a year. I read where people were talking about insurance being higher in Canada? I can't imagine it being that much higher.

honestly I'm 19 and im paying for my own 370 and i dont make 18/hr. so you can definitely do it; but when you get ready to move out are you going to be able to and not sacrifice the whole lifestyle you have now? just food for thought. I love my car and couldnt imagine wanting anything else but id also like to feel like i could move out and do more than just barely make ends meet.

Not going to move out till ilke 2-3 more years.. Im planning on helping my dad with his business.. but god knows where my company will put me.

they are opening couple of new branches recently too, hiring bilingual people like myself, they are the leading in the market of what they do know in all of north america..

So my company is super stable, they add 50 cents more every year to my salary..

so i dont know man, im pretty sure i can afford the 370z.

If you really like your job and don't plan on leaving it, just do it. I'm all about living life too, less thought more do.

The only thing that gets me is that I realized I can't quit my job now, not that I want to at the moment. Although sometime soon I'd like to start traveling the world, discovering my path, etc.

I mean I could always sell the Z, but you know what I'm saying. An expensive car is a commitment.

No offense, but don't take this as advice. If you lost the support of your parents (their health goes bad, they move, whatever) or otherwise had to move out, then you'd be screwed unless you could sell the car quick. The Z is a $40k car up there, so almost $750/month on a 72-year loan if you don't have a trade in (assuming 7% APR which would be really good given your age). That's a lot of money on $2500/month. Almost a 3rd of your income after taxes.

I'm almost to that point (1/4 of my take-home income) paying for a 370Z and 08 Evo X, and it's kind of tight if anything on the cars breaks lol.

Your theory is flawed, if his parents died then im guessing they would leave him a majority of their money. Considering he still lives with them they are probably on good terms. Now before you come back with the "you dont know that argument" lets be realistic. He can afford the car given his current situation, which is what he is asking. Not if X and Y happens then will he be able to afford it.

Insurance in Canada is alot higher, I would bet its close to double of what we pay in the states. Car costs much more so it would make sense, and my cousins who live in Ontario talk about how ridiculous it is.

Looks like your mind is made up, time to hit the newspaper ads and autotrader...

Agreed, go for the 350. You won't have to worry about voiding the warranty if your into modding. Who knows, maybe you could get a good deal on a used Nismo 350 if you are into that. Performance is on par with a standard 370. Insurance will be less expensive for a 350 also. The 350 is still a sweet car & I don't think anyone here would think otherwise. The 350 has plenty of parts to choose from that can be had for far less than a 370. Just don't go over the top, keep it clean and you can sell it when the time comes.

zman99

Sounds like a plan and if your happy thats all that matters.

IWuv370z

Will surely post more around here as it isn't a waste of time.

I'd be kind of disappointed if you don't pick up the 370Z in the future.

Just remember, if you're going to mod the 350Z anyway, you might as well have spent the money paying for the more expensive 370Z. I spent over $50k modding my first car... and it may have been a highway killer, but it was nothing compared to the top-of-the-line Evo I could have bought with cash if I had just saved.
