Unbiased frs/brz opinion over my very own 370z

Shamu

Ok let me get this right. You bought a new car last year and now you are are going to save money by selling it at a loss and buying another new car?

Yup you don't calculate sunked costs.

That money I already lost, the monthly wont change if I keep the z, if I get a cheaper car the monthly changes its simple.

I'm fully aware of what I lost already with the z. I'm just looking at a more manageable monthly payment.

Shamu

Just saying you're looking to lose even more money with a new car when you can least afford it? Why not refinance the Z? Or sell it buy a used car?

Price differential between Z and BRZ isn't that much. You're incurring California sales tax and registration too.

Just doesn't seem like you're thinking this through? Doesn't make sense to me.

I guess if you got terrible finance rate with Nissan dealer and scion is offering 0 percent 4 year loan and still discounting car you won't lose as much but your still a net loss. Your just borrowing more over long term while you in school with low income? Still would be better off refinancing the Z. Hope your getting a MBA. lol!

I agree with your scion review. I think looking at the interior though day after day will be hard coming from a Z. A month+ of driving with that interior and i see many days of nausea and chronic vomiting. You can find a 2003-2004 350z thats well maintained for $11,000 and you can save another 14,000 and not lose the power level you're used to.

Or you can consider a lower insurance FWD funmobile like the mazda 3 for $20,000 and save an extra $5,000

You can refi the Z but risk massive equity loss due to slow pay. If you plan on keeping the Z once you refi... do it. If you're going to get new ride hungry in two years? Trade for a lower priced car.

Or you can get a FR-S and have civics and integras pull up on you day in and day out... over and over and over and over and over...

I think you should keep the Z.

Based on your previous posts, it looks like you've put a lot of time and money into your car. Not only just aftermarket parts, but the time it took to research them and the time and money it took to install those parts.

In the end you would probably break even if you factored in all the time and money you spent on the Z. And then, you will probably end up modding your FR-S, so that's more money and time that you'll have to spend.

Now, if you really like the FR-S over the Z, that's a different story. But that doesn't sound like it's the case.
