There seems to be a lot of "not sure if I can afford the gas/insurance" threads lately. It's not all that complicated ...

Im 21 and i bought the Z 6 months ago. So far gas money and maintenance is not a issue for me since i work two job to maintain my Z. I use premium gas and when I fill it up to full tank I pay $65 to $70 (depends on gas price) and I usually get 310 to 360 miles. SO what I am trying to say is if your really have the mind to own a Z, just work some part time jobs to afford the gas money and ask for your parents to pay some of the insurance as well.. insurance jump the roof on me and my parents are helping me with that since I don make enough money to maintain the car on my own. however I do my best to not rely on my parents for the payments.

P.S. dont mod your car.... lol once you start, you cant end it

Well if he can afford a Porsche, hopefully new, then I'm sure he can afford to pay the outrageous insurance and the gas it will take for you to get around. Otherwise I would consider a par time job to help out with your "show" car. Good luck.

Don't get the car. Last thing we need is more regret threads.

regret why?

Go back to your original post to find the answer.

If you get a part time job you will be fine getting the z also look at the fact your dad is willing to buy you the car!! WILLING!!! That's alone is worth it lol. My biggest concern for you will be the ja in your university waiting to key your car

Yeah but most people in universities are chill with it. Make sure you make the right friends. Usually one can tell what kind of person you are by the people who you associate with. :tup:

I pay $95-$110 each time I gas up. That happens twice a month. That's more than some cars monthly payment lol

cyprus?

Don't do it

If you're worried about gas then you shouldn't be looking at sports cars

Its bottom line for any car your looking at......
Price of car + price for insurance + price of gas = yes or no
If your not sure if u can afford the 370Z + insurance+ gas+ all your future mods, than YOU CAN'T AFFORD IT!
Im glad people are interested in purchasing the 370Z, im not sure of the rest of the forum but i see so many "should i buy a Z", "can i afford a Z":shakes head:
The way i see it, think all you want about "buying" your car. But until you "buy" a 370Z :gtfo2:

:tup: J/K

Well........:gtfo2:

I couldnt even tell you what gas is a gallon. I just drive!!!

Sounds like an issue to me...

OP, I think the bigger question is if the 370z is where you want to spend your money. Okay if you can afford it, but is that where you want to spend your money?
