i'm probably looking to get another scion tc, just because i had put several thousands of dollars of my own money into the one i had, and the majority of the mods werent damaged in the accident. they are going to be removed from the car tomorrow morning, so instead of worrying about how i'm going to sell it all, i think i'd rather throw it in another tc and rock with that until i can put a heavy down payment on the z.

and for the "search before posting", thanks for the heads up, i know how it works though so its all good.
Just piece of advise dont stretch your budget way too thin just for a car. It will stress you out and you should probably be focusing more on your education more than anything else at this point. Atleast that was the way i was when i was at your age. I saw how successful my parents were and listened to their advice. I did not take all of their advices but i took it into account.

After driving a hand me down toyota pick up for a few years and graduating my budget was enough to start getting better cars. fast forward 12 years later and me 30. I now own two Honda s2000`s 04-05, 05 Acura RSX-S for daily and this Nissan 370Z. I traded my childhood dream car evo for the better more matured car in the 370Z.

I truly hope that u can afford the 370Z and would like you to be part of our community. But if you are in a limited income, God forbid something major goes bad on the car, it will definitely stress you out where to get the funds to fix it.

best of luck...
