Said goodbye to the Z today

Pushing_Tin · 11-12-2010, 11:35 PM

Yup, after nearly two years I went to the dealer and traded it in on a 2003 Jaguar S-type R. It's the supercharged model with 400hp. And because I had a lot of equity in the Z, it's paid for! It has 65k miles on it and it got a clean bill of health when I took it to a euro mechanic today. The Z was a great car and I will miss it a lot, but I won't miss the monthly payment. We want to refinance the house to a 20 year loan with these low rates and that's about how much the monthly payment will increase....

Don't worry I plan on sticking around and keeping the OGs in line.

Sweet car. Not a Z, but sweet nonetheless.

6spd · 11-12-2010, 11:44 PM

good strategy. gotta hand it to you, if only more people thought along those lines... im far from a jag/ford/brit fan, but it is pretty sweet!

^^drunk??

Pushing_Tin · 11-12-2010, 11:48 PM

LOL it may be ghetto ($60k new) but it's paid for! I'm 35 so I don't need to be cool anymore. It was a good compromise and it's different, just like the Z was. I'll only keep it for a year or two and look at something else. I doubt I'll buy new again, the 1-2 year depreciation is crazy on any new car.

I DESPISE my local Nissan dealer. They can burn in hell, fukkers. I also do not like FWD, so I'm happy with a 400hp RWD car that I own.

gotcha go unlocal like i did drove 3 hours to get my z

The Z is a great car but paying off a house is not a bad idea.

ChrisSlicks · 11-13-2010, 08:07 AM

Sorry about the Zloss. At least you have some nice lux to ride around in for a while, hope it's good to you. Probably will be refinancing myself pretty soon, not ditching the Z though.

Junior370z · 11-13-2010, 12:05 PM

Refinancing your home is a smart choice! Don't worry the Z bug will bite again lol! Maybe you'll find a another out there someone else might be selling in the future.

Nice jag by the way!

ProfessorDave · 11-13-2010, 04:10 PM

Good luck with the Jag. Do you find yourself saying "shag-you-ahr" when you mention the new car in conversation?

IDZRVIT · 11-13-2010, 04:43 PM

I hope it doesn't break on you. Jag repairs are through the roof.

Damn... thought you were going to get a Mustang ....lol
