Don't take offense to any of this, but if you're driving your dad's Versa, does that mean you're living at home w/ your parents? If so, it would be a terrible decision to buy a Z at this point. Think about when you move out and you're no longer saving money on rent, food, utilities, etc. And when you're no longer on their family auto insurance plan... You wouldn't be able to afford it any more unless your income literally doubled the same time you moved out.
My brand new Z costs
significantly more to insure than my 08 Evo X. And that's even with my wife listed as the primary driver on it. That shows you just how expensive these cars are to insure versus another already-expensive-to-insure sports sedan.
But nobody should doubt or bash this guy. I bought a brand new Evo X with options right after I turned 21. Then a little more than a year later, I bought my new Z. Some people do very well when they're young! Just be careful stepping up to a powerful RWD car like the 370Z from a slow FWD car. It's all about discipline; have fun with the Z when it's safe (if you get it), but keep it safe otherwise. This will keep you from getting tempted to drive like a moron when it could get you hurt. After all, there's no reason to buy a sports coupe unless you're going to have a little fun w/ it!
