If you plan on keeping the Z for a while, great! Man, life is about enjoying things, not that ledger.
If the Z is an intermediate step for you...this is no bueno. My $43K MSRP 370Z was worth $26.8K private-party retail in 2 years after 35K miles.
Your $35K? MSRP 370Z will probably be worth around $20K in 2 years, and you will still owe in the low 30's on it. That's $10K (or more) upside down. Horrible financial decision on a vehicle with very bad residual.
So it depends on how you look at it...you would have "thrown away" $10K any way you sliced this apple, but now at least you're happy!
That's how I'd look at it, anyway.
Enjoy your purchase!
