Did I Waste My Money?

Don · 10-24-2013, 04:56 PM

I just currently got a Base Model 370z this summer for my first car, but the more I look at the prices of other models (such as sport or touring) I feel as if I wasted my money. I bought my base model for only 30k used (only had 4k miles)

Everyone is going to have a different opinion on this as every car is worth an X amount of money to each different person.. however It sounds like you could of done a little better on the car. I paid 25K for my 2010 touring (non sport) with 10k on the clock a little under two years ago.

Aren't people getting base+sport for $31k new? Oh well. Damage is done. If you like the car it doesn't really matter. Go get better brakes and a diff and you've got 90% of the sport package.

In reality, does the vehicle make you happy; yes, then you didn't waste your money. I just bought a 2010 touring roadster with the sports package at 25k miles. Makes me happy when I drive it, money well spent.

You now own a 370Z, so, no, you did not waste your money

That being said, you probably could have saved a little bit or gotten a little more with some patience.

Sounds like you did, but what's done is done. No point in dwelling on it now. Just go and enjoy the car!

I don't think he even drives it anymore. I think he spends all of his time crying in a corner in his bedroom or bitching about the car on this forum

he's the one that stalls his AT car, right? or was it a MT?

Wonka2581 · 10-24-2013, 05:07 PM

Dude, you have a 370z Hell no you did not waste your money. I have a 2011 base. You will more then likely change out all the stock parts anyway. Hell thats what I did. Now you can make the car exactly how you want it to be.

Wonka2581 · 10-24-2013, 05:08 PM

And look at the bright side now when you want to add a wing you dont have to plug the stock spoiler holes.....

it's an MT. I know that because he complains the clutch is terrible. Now I'm not going to claim it's anywhere near one of the better clutches I've driven, but that doesn't prevent me from driving it perfectly smooth with minimal effort

Well maybe that was his car and the reason he's complaining so much about the clutch. I could imagine having some problems if your clutch pedal was replaced with a second brake pedal
