Who actually bought their 370Z?

소녀시대 · 01-21-2010, 08:21 AM

Hi everyone! Just a question out of curiosity....and it isn't, in any way, suppose to offend anyone but did everyone here buy the Z with their own money? The reason im asking this is because $50,000 is a hefty sum of money to use on a car and im just curious who bought the Z with their own money. Paid all at once, or perhaps financing it? or maybe leasing it? Thank you!

100% my own money.... cash at the time of delivery (less $1k deposit).

first lesson i learned in business school was: how much you make is not as important as how much you spend.

if you control your expenses well, you would have $50k (or more) at the bank and other financial institutions

Mick, care to elaborate your last line?

sure. Michael Jackson made millions but when he died he had unsettled debts. he spent more than he made.

people who paid cash for their 370z don't make as much as Michael Jackson but they manage their expenses better and have more disposable income.

I have just sold my boxster and TT but not bought my z yet so i can't answer the OP

Lol - try 25-30 years in Canada to pay it off - well at least places like Toronto, Vancouver and Victoria. Rent won't even cover a full mortgage/property taxes/repairs anymore on the initial purchase. Most people in Victoria that have a newer house have a suite they rent out in areas that allow them just to help pay the mortgages.

If you can buy an apartment in Austrailia and pay it off in five years you would be foolish to go buy a 370Z instead.... until you own five plus units of course

@ sigpapa226: :P

@6MT: wow xD thats a lot of money!

@mick: ahh i see yeah that makes sense....i know a few people who spend more than they make and now they owe banks a few thousand dollars

@Tyrell Tyson: 75K?!
