Would it be possible to get a nice 370z in my budget

and will cost less to insure. Grow out of that and it will at least prep you for RWD and crap blind spots. you also can graduate from shuttling high school friends in a punishing back seat

insurance for a 16 yr old male, even when under your parent's insurance, will be upwards of 600 monthly. Atleast that's what you can expect in so cal, don't know about missouri.

Insurance is going to be the real kicker thats for sure. Oh and my 2011 $38,000.00 Z is more to insure than my 2011 $54,000.00 G37. A surprising amount more!

My budget is around 23000

Maybe.

A 2009 with moderate to high miles can be gotten for that -- almost definitely from a private seller if not a dealership.

Search local listings and see what you can find -- good luck.

I think someone already mentioned it, but if you drive this Z anywhere near like the 16yo's that I know (and encounter) drive theirs, you're going to put yourself out of a lot of money very quickly. Or someone will get pissed at you at school and key your car just because they're kids.

And there will be tears.

Maybe you'll get lucky, but it's not been my experience. Nor insurer's, hence their rates for your segment.

Get a cheaper 2+2 and tune it up with the money you save. You can also screw up and make your mistakes (which you should plan on, as you grow older) and not take so hard a hit. Maybe you'll find out the easy way that you would be happier with something else. Maybe a smaller, even sportier car, or something with more dragster power. Or something that rides better or has more room in the back for steamy, park-in-the-park-mess-around-and-hope-you-don't-get-rolled-up-on.

Lol, this reminded me. Yesterday I researched the highest insurance premiums by city for 2012. Las Vegas was 8th. I feel sorry for Detroit, Newark and Phili.
