Buy Another 370Z?

Hypothetically speaking, if your car gets totalled, what would you do?

I am just curious. BTW, voter names are not visible; so be honest.

Depending on the insurance payout, I'd try to buy another Z.

red6spd · 09-08-2010, 12:06 AM

Since I have only had my Z for about 3 months probably get another Z. After maybe a year or two of owning it I would probably try pulling off an M3. OK back to earth, maybe the new STI Sedan.

Hmmmm....Interesting stats so far. "Keeping the $$$" is 2nd.

mattjk · 09-08-2010, 02:26 AM

if my z got totalled, I would get a nismo the 2nd time around. when I first saw it, I hated the way it looked, but now it has really grown on me. I think it is amazing looking now. Go figure.

i was going to trade my z in for a nismo, but the loss on trade didn't make sense. Probably going to do a conversion in the future.

I'd buy another Z or a new Mustang.

I'd buy another Z - There is no other car community on earth with as many diverse and enthusiastic owners. If you've been to Zdayz - you know what I am talking about. You buy the Z for what ever personal reason - but find that it came with an unexpected kinship too. All you have to do is drive down to the corner to find it.

I've had an '85 and a '95 300ZX, currently a '10 NISMO. During that period I've also had a '83 Trans Am and a '96 Vette. I'll stick with the Z, it's a seriously fun car with a nice smooth ride. Very compact and easily tossed around on the road.
Currently trying to sell the Corvette, 96 convertible with 25k miles on it, it's a fun car, but I really like the NISMO.

I've had this happen for real......totalled a Yellow '09.....had my Monterey Blue '09 in the driveway in under a month. Broken foot and all!

wh!plash · 09-08-2010, 08:22 AM

I'd buy another one, no question. I think the second time around I'd choose an auto in red though.

Crazyc · 09-08-2010, 10:08 AM

Would by a new one straight away...there can be only one (highlander) problem would be the color...i have pearl white roadster....maybe red or go ott and order the yellow....but there would be a new baby in my crib.I have looked around and at this value and quite a bit above the best looking by far.

Red__Zed · 09-08-2010, 10:27 AM

Depends on the circumstances in which I totaled it. If someone else hit me , I'd probably get another Z. If I wrecked it being a douche, I might move to something more tame.

antman22 · 09-08-2010, 10:30 AM

I'd probably get another one, but maybe the 40th anniversary this time around...

KillerBee370 · 09-08-2010, 10:47 AM

I would probably get another for the simple reason that nothing else in that class really compares and I can't afford the new GT2 RS anyway.

I'd go back to German.
