I'm only 21 years old and I noticed even maintaing this car takes a lot of money!  I think I got myself into a big mistake lol...  All those tickets made me broke.  As a college student with a part-time job I was a zomebie at times. I am going to a dealership and see my options and if I can test drive of course! 
How much would I be losing if I trade in my 370z? 
I have 2009 Nissan 370z Base + Sports with Stillen Cat Back Exhaust, Stillen HFC, Stillen CAI, UpRev Tune.
2009 Nissan 370Z Touring - Power Pages - Import Tuner Magazine
About 27,300 miles and no accidents.  |
I am confused here. The 370Z has a 5/60 powertrain and 3/36 warranty, and you shouldn't be outside either of those. Oil/brakes/tires won't be any cheaper than on the EVO.
I was broke as hell in college and rolled an old WS6, and yeah, THAT was a PITA when it broke. No warranty, but with a warranty it sounds like you have it made?
The thing I would worry with (depending on your downpayment) is being upside down in trade possibly?

Oil only needs to be changed every 6K miles or so if you use a good synthetic. It only takes an hour or two of your time and about $80 even if you use some of the more expensive oil/filter combos out there.
The Evo will get worse mileage.
Weather conditions, the Evo will do better with AWD.
Getting yelled at by friends and family for spending your money how you want can be cured by telling them to shove it and finding new friends/setting limits with your family.
Cleaning? I don't understand this cost or how it would differ between a Z and an EVO. Same with traffic.
