THINKING about trading the 370z

Not to be the bearer of bad news...but you need to consider all of these:

1. what is owed on your current car
2. what you will get for your current car
3. difference between the two - plus or minus
4. actual sales price of the new car - not just the sticker
5. new car purchase sales tax, title and license fees locally - usually around 3k+
6. interest rate at time of purchase
7. down payment

Take that check list - put numbers to it...and then you can see the "real" costs involved in changing.

You need to sell/tradein for $27K to break even on the Evo, and preferably sell for more to save you money.
