Thanks and see ya.

I wasn't here for too long, but wanted to say thanks to everyone. The board is fun to be on, but I am no longer a Z owner. Traded it in today for a Grand Cherokee. I'm getting married in two months and after reviewing our budget, my fiance and I decided 1 car payment is suffice. It would be nice to have two new cars, but not practical. I'd rather put the money aside and by a house as soon as possible. Anyways, thanks again. The Z is a wonderful car for the money. I hope whoever owns mine will enjoy it and take care of it as much as I did.

It was more my decision actually. I don't want two car payments and since I make 80% of our gross salary, its my way or the highway. Time to be practical. The Grand Cherokee can be driven year round. I still have my hyundai beater, but that will be sold soon. I'm looking for a super clean 2g GSX that I can daily drive. The woman can have the GC.

Thank you! Yes, I would not mind another 370Z at all. Maybe in a few short years, prices will drop low enough where I can snag one up cash.

My wife drives a 2011 GC Overland and loves it. I agree that it is more practical than my Z, meaning it can actually carry stuff and drive in the winter. Granted the Z only comes out in nice weather and sits in the garage the rest of the time, including all winter (salted roads).

Wow, my wife and I are in the same predicament. We've got two payments, and I'm considering getting rid of the Z for something cheaper that wouldn't have a payment. That way we'd have one less payment, less for gas, cheaper insurance, etc. Aren't Grand Cherokee's not much cheaper than a Z though? I'd be buying like a $15k car lol.

Edit: Grand Cherokee's look like they start at $28k, so how did you pay cash for that but weren't able to pay off the Z? Just curious. They look nice!

I didn't pay cash and I would not at this point in my life. Weddings and houses aren't cheap. My GC has a few options so the price is higher than 28k. One huge car payment ($619 per month for the Z) for a car I cant drive all year long and my fiance can't ever drive or a $468 payment on a nice SUV we both can drive whenever we want. I chose the lessor of two evils. The GC is also 250 dollars less per year to insure.

Red__Zed · 06-13-2013, 10:24 PM

the new GCs are sweet, should be a nice comfy car...enjoy!

Oh! Gotcha, so the debate was whether or not to keep the Z. Still a nice ride, congrats!
