So you would sell a 2014 Z for a 2010 Audi? No. Or you would be 17 and carry two car notes? No.

Kinda dumb to ask this question with a bunch of Z owners here. Insurance killing ya or did mom and pop add you to their policy?

What are your reasons to buy the Audi?

That's complete waste of money either way. Don't do it. You've got a very nice car for a 17 year old. Buying another one is not a good use of funds. Maybe start saving up for a place of your own?

No, I don't know you. That doesn't make being 17 with two car notes any more financially responsible. It's a stupid idea. Can you even qualify for the financing?

You've got a great car already. Not being able to take a bunch of friends with you is a plus, not a minus. They can take their cars. Now, in order to fill out the rest of the "How to be knee deep in pussy as a teenager" checklist, you need a place of your own and cash in your pocket. Having two car notes, two insurance payments and the maintenance costs of a 4-5 year old used Audi will not be a step in the right direction.

I never said I knew you but you asked a open question.

You have to understand that us old farts that work hard for their money and buy a Z because they can afford it wonder why a 17 year is doing with a 370Z in the first place and then wanting another car. Sorry to insult you but if you post up on the forum with a vague question you will get comments like this from some of us.
When I was 17 my parents bought me a 70 Camaro.... What I wouldn't do now to have that car back. Be thankful for what you have pedro.

A 4 year old German car broke down on the side of the road doesn't quite get the ladies moist, now does it. I vote no also and agree with the above.

As a 17 year old, maybe. At that age you're fishing from a small pond. You may be catching a lot of fish, but it's a small pond. Things are about to open up for you. You've got a head start. Don't **** it up by taking on a lot of debt and expenses.

Basically, you're playing AAA ball. You're about to get called up to the majors (adulthood). Don't shoot yourself in the foot before you start.
