Oh my... You really think it cost you nothing?

It will always cost you. You might have had another year or two to pay off your car ('09 Z), but now you have four to six years to pay off your new car ('12 Z). The insurance might have went up a couple of dollars since it is a new car. On the bright side at least you are not paying more money for your monthly car payment. In end as long as you are happy with what you have & you are happy with the monthly payments that is all that matters. You bought the car, so what we really think is irrelevant.

hmmm, interesting choice for a car upgrade; same exact thing, less miles, more money. My 09 Z has 40k miles and it's like new, while my bank account for GTR, 2013 Viper, or 2012 Z06 is growing fast. Oh, that will be a tough decision, but I'm leaning GTR for it's daily driver quality.

Amazing! And how do you figure that? Not hating, glad you're happy. Me...saving for something better while enjoying the Z.

I did not loose anything, I was not going to own this car as I would have traded it in for a 2013z or another car some point this year.

OK, you're right. After all, how can you argue with logic like that?

OP, congrats on the new whip. I know there's a huge weight on the nutsack right now but it should ease once the haters go to sleep.

So much hate in the blood here. Listen to this while you read these posts. Lol

You definitely lost money. You loose money on trade in, your new vehicle depreciated several thousand when you drove it off the lot. Your monthly payments may not have changed but that is an old tactic sales men use. Makes you feel as if you are paying the same. This deal will cost you a lot of money when all the payments are made and its all in the books.


With that said if you are happy with it then congrats!

Remember it is only money. Money will always come & go. It is all about making you happy.

Like any of us on here really NEED a 2 seat sport car to begin with???? Its an ego purchase. All of us... no exceptions. We may like the sport of driving but that sport alone is 90% ego. Buying this type of car is a money loss. We could have all bought a certified used altima and got more functionality and warranty. But some of us say" there's nothing like buying new" blah blah blah. That's alotta smoke. New or used a car is the same if it comes with warranty. When you pick leather in any car. You lose money. Nav, you lose money. The depreciation rate is usually similar throught a lineup so u lose the same amount of money.

If it was all about saving cash why aren't all of you driving 2.0 gencoupes. They can be had for 25kotd brand new with a lil hustle to your game??? All you guys are doing is passing judgement because a sports car is no investment. Or any car for that matter. If we aren't buying nissan versa's to get around? We are just buying what we like. USUALLY BUYING WHAT WE LIKE WASTES MONEY. Cuz a decently equipped versa can be had for 15kotd and it will get us around to where we need to go.
