To buy or not to buy?

Well the car is sitting in the drive way with a car cover on top of it till I show my dad in the morning or he comes in 3 am asking where the hell it came from. @nmjaxx9 it is a touring package I believe has the climate control seats xm radio and what not. I will be financing about 30k because I still owe money on my current car but he explained that the equity that I have on it can be used towards the 370. I'm gonna go tomorrow with my dad and see if we can get them to give me more otherwise once I get on orders I'll just save up for a down payment and go back in x-mas time and maybe things will be more favorable.

On another note I did look at a used 09 nismo today before I picked this one up way cheaper can get it for 18k they will give up 12k for my car as trade in but its last owner did a few audio mods him self and drove it pretty good so it drove really shitty kinda shook after I took it on the highway it just seems like he messed it up kinda sucks because I would be more than willing to do the nismo as well especially at a cheaper price.

Edit: I spoke to a service mechanic also because the car ran a little hot (around 220F) after some city driving he told me they originally wanted 42k so I'm gonna ask for invoice just to get an idea of if they're loosing money already so I can see how much more negotiable the price is.

Yeah the Zs do run a little hot, oil temp issue. I would say go into the dealership tommorow and as Volk Z said try to talk OTD price. How much you will may out the door, and try to reduce the payments. IF it helps to have your Dad cosign to reduce interest rates or monthly payments do so. Good luck and let us know what happens.

if your financing about 30k your payments should not be 700. my payments are 514 for 72 months and I financed 30k
