To the OP, be sure you have a strong base before you spend money on a car. It's a depreciating asset, and mostly for fun. As sad as it sounds fun shouldn't be your first priority. Also, be wary of sales/commission jobs. You won't always make as much as you think.

The point is not that we're talking about a car that is worth $30k+, but that he wants it for free. Nothing in life is free, and if you start out in life thinking that you should be able to get it for free, that's just not a good thing...

On the other hand, the second half of your post is a valid concern. But again, he didn't start this thread by stating he wanted to BUY a car.

Sounds like a good idea to me too.

This.

Plus I hear on a certain 350Z forum that the 350Z is actually faster, lighter, and out-handles the gaudy 370Z anyways!

Make sure you get a 2004.5.

It's F-L-A-W-L-E-S-S.

It's a unicorn man. Even if you find it, it doesn't sell for less than $250k.

I'm not sure but I believe that is the only year (and a half) that they let Mazda design the doors for them.

I wasn't taking any comments as rude, like I said, it was a ridiculous question. I was just wondering if there was anyway I could get a car that I couldn't afford, but after reading some wise posts I agree that I would appreciate it more after ppurchasing the car myself. I'll have a Z soon you guys. And as far as insurance goes, I'm working for a financial services company called Primerica. Its a legit company and its not a scam considering they are on the NYSE and DOW. Trust me, my mom is the CEO of Accounting at the second biggest hospital in Texas and she approves.

Good Luck with the job, I'm sure we all look forward to seeing pictures of your first new Z. Once you get it, you'll always have a smile on your face as you're driving down the road!!!

LOL...Primerica is such an awful company. They'll hire absolutely anyone, and 95% of the people that work there quit within the first year. Do you really think anyone is going to buy insurance or securities from a kid like yourself?

I'd just like to point out that I'm over 50 years old, work for a Fortune 500 company for over a decade, am college educated and my main ride is a 99 Expedition. The 350Z in my sig is actually my wife's who allows me to valet park it on occation if I really really "perform" well. Can someone help me out with a new car here?

There is absolutely zero chance you will be making anything close to that selling insurance for Primerica. The only smart thing you've said in this thread so far is that you're holding onto your job at Chick-Fil-A. You will most certainly need it.

shoopajae10 · 09-12-2010, 06:51 PM

damn primerica is still around to get ya.

to be honest with you... id stick with chick fil a and try to get management spot and make more money than going with primerica and screwing up your chance of owning a 370z.

dont waste your time and money.
