Please convince me to buy a Z!

nhbpcivicsi · 10-30-2013, 07:46 PM

Well hello there fellas

i'm currently looking at a 2011 Manual black 370Z base (sport package) with 20k miles, listed for $25k, what do you guys think about the price?
As it appears from my name I currently drive a 2007 Honda civic Si coupe, and im thinking its time to change things up since I've had the car for about two years! Im just having difficulties to accept the fact that if I do purchase the Z, maintenance will definitely go up, and gas of course.. what do you guys think? has anybody else made this switch before? any help would be appreciated

Do it. It's a huge upgrade.

i'm thinking about offering the dealer $23k or what he's asking OTD, is that too much to ask? i already test drove the vehicle but i wanna see what is the trade in value for my Si..

23k would be nice. You're not going to feel like you get ripped off at 25k either. It's definitely the best car you can get for 25k.

I had an 06 Fiji Blue and the best thing about the upgrade was this weird thing called torque. Also, don't miss that FWD.

(I did have an S2k and a WRX before I finally settled on the Z....for now.)

yah, just drive backwards in your civic and you'll get a nice simulation of a RWD car. should be plenty of convincing.

I would only pick the WRX because it's a year round car. Living in the nasty midwest, I'm only able to drive the Z for about 7 months out of the year. The WRX is a blast in snow, but it did not get me the attention the Z has, even with a loud Perrin exhaust installed. But, I would not go back to the WRX right now...love the Z too much.

I say get the Z, but if you are comparing a Z with any other car, then don't get it, plain and simple - Z is not for you

SPOHN · 10-30-2013, 08:38 PM

Just go drive it
