Need some financial advice please?

to be frank, I have no idea what will work for you financially. I put 10k down on my Z.

This depends on many different factors. What trim and type of Z are you targeting? How good is your credit? What is your current budget?

And none of these things is anybody's business but your own.

I can't really help you. Sorry

Not trying to make it personal or anything, i just wanted a general idea of how much would be a good amount to put down on a Z. As far as trim goes i'm just looking for a base with the sport package.

Well, again, down payment amount will totally depend on the particulars of your financial situation. One of the reasons I put down such a huge down payment was so that in case I have to sell the car, I've already taken most of the depreciation hit up front.

Another argument for a large down payment is that it all goes towards principle. The more money you pay on principle vs. interest, the less you're paying for the car overall. If you buy a car straight cash, you only pay for the costs of the car. If you finance the whole thing with a tiny down payment, you're paying a ton in interest.

I hope this helps?
