Really thinking of a downgrade...

Econ · 03-30-2012, 09:58 AM

As someone who was in a similiar situation to you, I would advise against it, if you can afford the payments.

I graduated a couple years ago, landed a lucarative job on wall st., bought my Z a few months later. 7 months later, I didnt feel like continuting my ~$400/month payments, and sold it.

The next time I saw a Z on the road i immediatley regreted my decision. I traded it for a freakin jeep liberty, and couldnt stand not having the Z. Ended up selling the Jeep after 3 months, and bought a 3 series coupe, costing me $600 a month.

Still not satisifed, and I am now looking for a cayman, which will likely run me another $900 a month.

I wish I could go back and keep my Z. Had i not had such favorable mods on my old Z, i'd have bought another one, however I did not want to go through the hassle of making a new one look like my old.

it's never too late! your Z looked great man

the Cayman will cost you more in the long run. bringing a new Z up to par w/ your old one will be part of the fun. you know exactly what to purchase and in what order...

I thought about it; however, at this point I think i might as well try something new, and I really like the new '13 cayman.
