370z or house?

Z370Z011 · 04-23-2013, 01:14 PM

house now
2015, Z later

TheGreatOne · 04-23-2013, 01:30 PM

I would have said Z first but I am going to say house first

Right now I wish I had a home with a driveway/garage to tuck my Z in at night

I own a condo right now which is great and I have underground indoor parking, but can't have tools near by, decorate, etc so thats why I say home and hopefully within 6-12 months you can get the Z to go with it.

or find a new job that you can afford both since you have experiences xD

House.

Consider the house as an investment (most likely will increase value over time). The Z will only depreciate in value over time.

Car is a luxury, a toy. House (home) is a necessity.

A logical answer is house.

However, you are still young. Enjoy what you love. If Z is what you want, go for it. You have plenty of time to make more money for anything else.

I made too many "logical" decisions when young which I regret now. If I were you, I'd spend $ on fun stuffs.

But yeah, house first.

Bay Area...Land of the over priced Homes....And yes, they have risen a lot in the last 18 months....Still below bubble prices, but still the best Investment.

House....up 110K in Value in 18 months..370Z.....surely not up in value...

Cars unless they are basic DD's are Luxuries...Homes are part of an Investment strategy...Stocks, Real estate and other assets...But Cars are mostly fo the Fun and adrenaline...

The responsible choice is the house of course. These days though, nothing is guaranteed, including the value of the house you intend to buy.

I think the better questions is where you see yourself in 10 years? If you plan to get married/already married, plan to have kids, have a stable financial standings, etc..etc.. this may be the only time you really have an option to drive a Z or any 2 seater sports car. Yes, it's going to depreciate, but it's always going to be worth something. You can always sell it when you're ready for a house or possibly buy a used Z to lessen the lost from depreciation. Whatever you decide, choose what makes you happy.

Lol there was nothing on the market at that time, so I got the z instead.

Just bought my house here in Vegas in December, you will be kicking yourself if you don't jump now. Cars will be there, interest rates and prices probably will not.

So far I have seen Z owners always have good house to park their car.

i bought 2 homes and got married before i got my Z..im 37 before then i was driving POS trans ams

House now. GT-R later. Or house now and '02 Skyline later

House first, Z later. That's what I did and don't regret it one bit. Having a garage is nice because I hate parking any of my cars outside.

Please OP don't follow this advice... seriously.

House first, 390z/490z/590z/690z (who gives a crap z) later. Good luck with your decision friend.
