How much did you put down on your Z

Nismo89 · 03-21-2011, 11:33 AM

ive seen threads on here about how much they paid for their Z, but havent really seen a thread as of yet about how much you put down "upfront" ...

so like the title states... how much did you put down on your Z up front?

6k

Nguyen128 · 03-21-2011, 11:45 AM

haven't bought mine yet but.. i'll be putting down 20-25k.

Hugoneus · 03-21-2011, 11:46 AM

I put down half of it, so 20k

Red__Zed · 03-21-2011, 11:46 AM

About 31k.

hansoac · 03-21-2011, 11:48 AM

9k here.

Nismo89 · 03-21-2011, 11:59 AM

im planning on putting down 15k for the base model Z , unless the dealership is willing to drop the price on a few touring versions they have, doubt it though

but i want to make sure i have anywhere from 8-10 k left over in my account so this car doesnt drain it to nothing

I put down the agreed-upon price of the car, tax, extended warranty and license fees -- in total.

Same for me....paid in full.....no extended warranty though

paid in full is the way to go.

Jjaden · 03-21-2011, 12:40 PM

Paid in full.

Everyone is different and I respect all approaches but my feeling has always been if I can't buy it outright I probably shouldn't buy it.

Again this is something I apply to myself, and not preach to others...

yep, nothing wrong with having a loan if you can pay it. it's a good way to build credit.

this is very true...

i only put 6k down being i am only 21 and just graduated college. I would rather use the excess funds for my house down payment.

I'm also banking on the interest from my portfolio (which i chose not to put down on car) exceeding the interest of my car loan.

Only financed 8k of it.

This is very true. For me, I hate paying interest that I don't need to pay if I can help it.
