Although then, if I buy a nissan 350z right, get it modded, keep saving up money while enjoying the 350z, I can always sell it, and have alot of money saved up in a year or two, and combine that to buy 370z. My company will give me a bigger raise of over 46k a year, i will be promoted soon... I am their most valuable employer because I am so skilled with computers and i know many languages.

but anyways...

I can either work my *** off to enjoy a 370z with insurance payements, monthly payments, and really have no money left to save up. OR I can buy a 350z, have it for 1 year, and during this time save up money because i can pay fully for the car.. then sell it and use all my savings to buy a nissa 370z and pay 3/4's of the car, instead of 1/4.

It all adds up, especially if your employer does any kind of matching or profit sharing.

Just out of curiosity, what do you drive currently? Are you trading that in?
