High Miles Z a bad idea?

Make sure you get everything you want the way you want out of a car you are buying with your own money. Don't have enough money? Save up. Life is too short to settle on something like this during your prime years. This is your chance to own a very impractical car before you have a family so do it right.

Take it from me, I bought a new 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe on a whim because it looked nice and saved me some money from getting a Z. Several maintenance issues later i traded the car in after 6 months for a new 2013 Nissan 370Z. Buy right the first time!


At the end of the day it's better to wonder "Why?" than "What if...?"


Ps: If you don't have a job yet, don't even bother looking for a car yet.

To date it was the most reliable car I've ever owned. It never broke down for any reason, ever. At 215 HP it's not everyone's "cup of tea", but it was NEVER junk.
