Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - Buying a 370z Nismo at 16 years old! Need help deciding.

Everyone on here seems butthurt that a 16 year old can get the same car as them, or think the kid will kill himself. I drove a 300zx TT with 400rwhp all the time at 16 and I had never been in a car accident until i was 24 and that was at 5mph.

Here's some real advise.
1 - Get a 2 year old car off a lease, not a brand new one. You'll save a lot of money on depreciation.
2 - Get a 4 seater or more, not a 2 seater (go with g37 or 335 bmw which are equally as sporty). While you're in HS and College you'll want to be able to take friends around too.
3 - Take an economics/finance class online before spending 40k on a car at 16 years old (i don't know the rest of your wealth/income so that might not be a lot to you).
