A used one would likely be close to $29k BEFORE tax and financing costs which would put you near $33k total. Less your $5k down payment you'd be borrowing $28k... which would translate to at least $450 in monthly payments. That doesn't include other things like insurance, maintenance, gas, etc.
I was like you when i was 17 and wanted to buy more car than I could afford. I ended up purchasing a 350z but my payment was only $240 a month and I had a steady job.
At your age your insurance (even registered under your parents) would likely be close to $200 a month.
Have you ever driven a 350z? They are fast, fun, and sexy! If you'd take your mustang over a 350z or S2k, perhaps the 370z is not for you. They are very similar, just have different power levels. And I can assure you, even if your 08 stang is a GT, the 350z is quicker.
I like stangs, but I personally think the 08 bodystyle is really ugly.
You should just keep your car if you like it, especially if you have NO job and won't be making that much money even if you do have one.
Best of luck with your decision.

Luckily my parents pay for my insurance, lol. One less headache to deal with.
Also, my 08 is only a V6 and SUPER slow which is the main reason I want something else. Don't get me wrong though, I'm not one of those idiots that wants to show off how much power my car has, lol. I love the looks of the 350/S2K exterior wise, but interior wise not so much. Interior is a HUGE thing for me since that's where you mostly are.
Honestly, unless I can find a 370 I like around $25k right now I don't think I can do it after you explained it all to me and I did a bit more research on prices/payments wise. If I get one around $25k it will prob put me around 450 a month and I have a steady $100 a month already so I would just need a job for 350 a month. Which I made before just working 8-9hrs a week.
Lastly, sorry for coming off like that. I feel like I came off as a spoiled 16 year old dumb*** who doesn't know anything and just wants a nice car re-reading everything. So sorry for that, and you've been a big help helping me understand the payments and having me come down to earth and be realistic. Thanks for your time reading/replying to my dumb posts.
