my girl got a 2.9% apr used car loan from her credit union when she was 23 for a 06 325xi.. your statement is not valid.

I agree with you.

Not so long ago tens of thousands or more Americans bought homes at low interest rates because they could afford it............... Thanks for the market crash.

The point is, even if you manage to get a loan, it doesn't mean you can afford to pay it off.

Crown, you know me having a civic I would LOVE TO BE IN your shoes right now to have a Z. Appreciate what you have, don't act on impulse and enjoy your car and relive the first day you got it when you get a compliment on it.

I know bro, I am told everyday and it's not like it was given to me.
Ever since I heard about the 370Z coming out I've been busting my ***. rofl...
Anyway I'm going to keep her and am currently looking for winter setups.
That or I'm not gonna drive it and I'll just prepare for spring time.

Or buy a car cover -- buy a beater for the amount you'll pay for rims/winter tire set-up and then go bang bang skeet skeet in the winter ha

Yes, but the opposite isn't true either -- just because you get a loan doesn't mean you are doomed to financial ruin.

I'm only 21 years old and I noticed even maintaing this car takes a lot of money!

I think I got myself into a big mistake lol...

All those tickets made me broke.

As a college student with a part-time job I was a zomebie at times. I am going to a dealership and see my options and if I can test drive of course!

How much would I be losing if I trade in my 370z?

I have 2009 Nissan 370z Base + Sports with Stillen Cat Back Exhaust, Stillen HFC, Stillen CAI, UpRev Tune.
2009 Nissan 370Z Touring - Power Pages - Import Tuner Magazine
About 27,300 miles and no accidents.

I just realized who this was you was thinking about doing this after I joined the 370z family.I am glad to here you are keeping it now see get a beater like me see you around man.

Keep in mind though -- even with all of that, you will just be touching what a 370Z has at the wheels, stock.

The Evo X is a great car -- don't get me wrong -- but if you are really looking for "big power" it is still going to cost you some major cash. You hit a wall around 330 that requires an investment to get past.

I'm not getting into this argument here, though.

It's a great car, but both the STi and the Evo are -not- the heroes they once were.

I completely understand it seems implausible that this is the case, but I assure you that there are many, many examples of this fact, remember this is 90 Brake horsepower, not at the wheels. Depending on the type of dyno of course and other factors, most stock X's sit at about 245 whp, with ONLY a tune 300 whp is easily, safely and reliably attainable (Keep in mind the additional parasitic drive train loss from being all wheel drive). I would be happy to provide further information if you would like. The 370z is a fantastic and very capable car, but there are plenty of reasons why the Evo is also a wonderful performance buy. It really shines once you start modding and does not require much to be extremely competitive. If anyone is ever curious, take a look at the many great forum resources and see for yourself.

Oh, alright, yeah. I was under the impression you were strictly speaking at the wheels.

My bad then.

I agree with you.

today is a good day sir... we finally agree on something

I have driven an evo x with all the basic bolt ons. put down about 340 I believe, and was a nice car to drive.. handled well and accelerated quickly... felt faster than my Z BUT... it wasnt, but not by much. Was very very close...

Than he decided to trade it in for a e90 and put it back to stock, called me and said come drive my car. The difference was insane.. stock compared to downpipe, intercooler, exhaust, tune, etc was SOOOOO much different. The basic mods made a HUGE difference.

He has been happier with his 330xi than he was with the evo...

He thought I was stock and I already knew from the sound of his nismo he was stock.
