Is it time to replace my 370Z?
 
I've had my 370Z for over a year now and as in previous occasions with other cars I'm somewhat losing interest in it. Don't get my wrong the 370z is an amazing car and I've enjoyed it. However, I might be expanding the family within a year or so and consequently I've been looking into a sports coupe with at least a small backseat. Some of my current options are the BMW 335 with the Dinan S2 package or an M3.

I would appreciate any feedback that you can provide me as I'm somewhat torn on my decision. If I keep the Z some mods will need to be added in order to keep the interest.

Thanks!:driving:

Your asking people you dont know to make a financial decision for you. Its up to you and you only. If your getting bored with the car and it dont make you happy anymore and you can pull off another car loan or whatever I say time to change. If you really like the Z but need more room consider getting a second car if you can afford it. And if you must change cars an M3 and a 335I is not a bad start. I would also check out the STI Hatch or Sedan and of course in normal the370.com fashion go test drive a 5.0. I'm told its the "bees knees"

Good advice: Wait until family expands, then buy bigger car.

Riskier financial advice: In the mean time buy gold and with the added profit in a year, the car will seem cheap. See how easy it is to make financial decisions.

Do whatever makes you happy that you can afford to do.

Some of us here have car ADD. I sold my 370 (18 months) for a 5.0 (currently at 12 months) and am somewhat seriously looking at options for my next car. It's just a matter if I am willing to pay for it or not. :icon17:

ahh.... internet advice ....

can't beat it!

Here's some advice, give me the car for free and get whatever you want.

If I have my count right, I'm at 18 cars in 11 years. From someone who knows, changing out cars too frequently is one of the biggest financial blunders one can make. I've learned a valuable lesson in the past year or so that no matter what car I have, it's never going to make me "happy," I will always be looking for the next better thing.

let's be real OP, without more details on where you're at financially, how you feel about the car, etc...it's hard to give any advice.

If you can post up some of that info, your full name, and your social security number, we can probably help make your decision a lot easier :ugh2:

Right there with you brother. M4A1 and I are thinking of creating a support group for folks with our "affliction".

Sounds like you guys should be leasing!

I like to keep cars ten years (though I traded my 2000 Eclipse GT for an NSX because it was a big mistake and my first NSX was reclaimed as a stolen car, I drove my MR-2 for ten years, and drove an NSX for ten years, and hope the 370Z will be close to that (perhaps 8-9 since I bought it used))

Why are you even mentioning the financial part of this decision? He's not asking for your opinion about that! He's asking for car recommendations. He may be a millionare for all you know, why do you even care?

Uhh, he's probably giving him feedback because the OP asked for "any feedback." He didn't say "give me any feedback except financial" :rolleyes:
