$5k on a lease??? lol. Maybe on a 335i, but on a base Z? lol.

FairladyZ

lol.. thats funny cause my friend did just drop 5k exactly for his 335i lease

UNKNOWN_370

Yeah, i guess i would be mad at the world if i would be giving 50k grade lease downs on a 30k car. lol

cossie1600

I didnt read the whole thing, but it was something along the lines of $5K down and $299 a month, which is like $15K for 3 years on a base model. I guess I would be mad too if I got shafted like that.

MightyBobo

Who's stupid enough to do that kind of deal?

if it totals out to $15-16k. I guess he didnt get all that ripped. Its 50% of the purchase price which should keep him10% over depreciation, and they tax the 10% in wear and tear... as long as he is straight with mileage and NEVER HAS an accident? it should work out.
What sux though is the down. he could have owned a gen mustang, camaro, or something in the same amount of time with $100 extra bucks... Or even owned a used Z instead of lease

Hmmm... I didn't think the thread was going to take a turn like it did a few pages back.

It's on YouTube. The Smoking Tire and Chris's show are the ones I like particular.

Do a search for Drive on YouTube.

Matt Farrah also did a review of a Stillen 370z

Hrmmmm, if my Z's *** slid out that easily, I would be pissed. I don't know what the hype is about "whee lookit me I'm sliding so ez".

MightyBobo

He went over a hill and the rear end got loose - this isnt an uncommon thing. Furthermore, he's on base wheels/tires which arent TOO particularly sticky.

The only thing he's trying to show off is that the Boxster and BRZ's driving dynamics are exceptional compared to the 370's which is still relatively good.

What I take away from this thread (so far) is that there are people out there that cannot appreciate a piece of art like the 370Z. There's gobs of diff cars out there, but the Z stands out and is an awesome machine. To 'hate' it or 'dislike' it, in my opinion is really hard, unless the are forced to drive the Z against their will and have come accustomed to driving in something 'way' better. People who do not appreciate a machine like the Z are lost/spoiled/crazy/whatever individuals who probably don't appreciate many other things.

I personally want to keep my Z and turn it into a beast, get a second car to drive around once I settle down. The Z may not have F.I. base headroom to play with, but it looks awesome, handles great (with a few mods) and is a blast to drive and basically has a lot of attributes that come for a lot more money on other cars. I think the value of the Z can only be appreciated if one understands what they've got, I don't want to be in any other car (meby a 911 GT3 RS 4 or a TVR T350C not sold in the USA) none of which I can afford, and I don't want anything other than those 2, so the Z is the best car for me as of right now
