It's very rare. Most people try to use their current car as a down payment. If you figure that tax, title and license in AZ is about 10% then add in the instant depreciation. I would guess someone would be looking around 20%-30% down to stay above water from point of purchase.

Now if you buy used... It's A LOT less. But new is ruff.

Wild. If I finance I always figure how much I need to put down so I'll always be ahead. Guess that's not as common of a practice as I thought.

I'm being tempted by a Z06.....

3- Some people like a new car every 3 yrs

4- Some people buy out of impulse then they realize that is not what they wanted.

Not again!

Thats me..lol. I got pissed off at my cobalt one day, went to the nissan dealership and test drive a 370z. Bought it and then traded it in 8 months later.

That is very odd. You were only pissed at your Cobalt one day? Hmmm...

Snakes709 · 01-29-2012, 08:15 AM

lol...let me rephrase, it pissed me off alot but i delt with it. The day in question was the last straw.

mantella87 · 01-29-2012, 08:25 AM

I was washing my Z last night and it dawned on me... I am keeping this car forever.

m4a1mustang · 01-29-2012, 08:38 AM

I've told myself I'd keep every car I've had forever... ha. Can't cure "car guy."

I too have bought and sold many cars over the years but none of them have grown on me like the Z if this car can be trouble free (for the most part)then I will end up keep it for a long time.

UNKNOWN_370 · 01-29-2012, 09:43 AM

Though I know I will be buying another sports car inside of the NEXXXT 3 years. I know trading my Z won't be part of the package. I will be looking for a
1. Used GT-R.
2. The BRZ refresh with turbo engine???
3. A used EVO MR
4. Genesis coupe redesign
5. Camaro redesign?
6. 5.0 redesign?
7. Used R8 if they hit the sub 60k price range???

One of these cars will be my next after I turned my Z into a TT, 500rwhp A7 with a 100 shot of "the juice".
