I'm currently debating whether to move out or not my first year after graduating... but I've calculated that owning a 370z each month will cost about $1500, incl. gas an insurance, and that's assuming I'm putting $7000 down, the car being approx. $850/mo.

This is an awesome thread and I've definitely learned a lot from reading everyones input... and by having over $1000 to play with each month... I think I might decide to buy this time... but ONLY because I'm extremely passionate cars and the whole modifying scene in general, hence why I'm sacrificing any potential of saving for the next few years with this car.

But to divert a bit OT... I'm curious as to the regular maintenance cost of a 370z? Typical problems you face with the car in general? To avoid diverting the thread anybody with this info can pm me. Thanks!
