for a $14K toyota corolla, YES. not a $40k bonafide sports car with a 2-seater.

nobodys gonna walk into a Lamborghini dealership and buy a half a million$ lambo on impulse. If you do, why would you care if you lose ten of thousands of dollars for a tradein?

People do worse things with their money than impulse buying a $40k sports car. Like buying a house worth $100k's that they know they can't afford and there by crashing the global economy.

Putting a auto tranny in a 370z Nismo might just be the worst idea I think I have ever heard.

Get some springs for it to soften up the harsh ride and get some Dynomat.

I'd be willing to be the majority of Z sales are impulse purchases. People are actually less likely to impulse buy a corolla, because there is not an emotional connection, it is a logical purchase.

i agree with red zed.
this is kinda like the story of a guy here who had bought a manual trans 370z without knowing how to drive it and later wanted to trade the car for an auto 370z. that was an impulse buy too

Maybe he knew, but not proficient and almost crashed.

But either case, y'all saved me a trip to the dealership. it's staying.

HA got that beat for idiocy, here in wisconsin you can't text while driving but you CAN read text's and browse the internet on your phone.

Edit: also i find that the little useless pocket in the dash is great for holding a burrito or two.

Not sure how the bashing of a fellow forum member helps with the issue presented in the thread.

Nismo has too much road noise.

Andy, as many members suggested, you could try to do a private trade to avoid further money loss - this may take a while; the tricky part will be to get the trade where both parties are satisfied with things like mileage, upkeep... Another option you might find worthy is to keep the car and slightly modify it to fit your needs.
** Road noise: easy/cheap fix is to dynamat the trunk & door maybe floor if you feel like. Road Noise Thread
** rough ride: Get some "value" springs that will give the car a smoother ride. Thread 1 Thread 2
** Color issue: the car will get noticed on the road no matter what color it is

...get a radar detector maybe??
