Need feedback on what to do with my NISMO

roplusbee · 03-01-2012, 07:11 PM

Thanks again. You are right...........I would hate life if I got rid of the Z. I would prolly be somewhat satisfied with a G37 IPL, but the payment would not agree with my pockets.

Yeah find a good daily driver, you can used the nismo as an excuse to get out of the house. Best kind of therapy there is.

My brother is pretty broke but wanted a toy, and we have a real winter here. He leased a stripped out Corolla for like $160-170 a month (no down of course) and bought a Honda Fury motorcycle. He drives the Honda everywhere and falls back on the Corolla whenever the weather is lousy or he needs to haul people.

My wife replaced her aging Honda Element with a new car. We kept it around, and now I drive it in the snow or when I need the extra room. And I never have to take off the Z's summer rubber now, while before I had to have snow tires for my sports car.

It works great. You'll be happy with that arrangement.

You'll definitely want to keep your Nismo.

As far as getting another car, were you looking to get a Nissan? What's your budget?

I would suggest looking at a new Versa Sedan or Hatchback (depending on lifestyle or what your kids like..) The hatchback will have a slightly bigger engine (1.8 liter: 122 hp), but the sedan( 1.6 liter: 109 hp) is great value @ just under $11 thousand.

I take back what I said. You should sell it, at a very cheap price.

....to me haha.

I could swear I drove from New Orleans, La. to Destin, Fl. and back on almost one tank of gas in that thing.

The 2012 is garbage, and this is coming from a Honda fan. Get a 2011 that a dealer has left over for way less. Every aspect of the 2012 is a downgrade.
