Come back to the 370Z or wait...

Niche79 · 05-23-2014, 02:44 PM

or pay off your current car. Probably mid next year we will see the mock up of the new Z which I assume will drop as a '16 as the normal cycle is about 6 years. Then, if you like the next gen Z. You will have a large down payment to drop on it. I hate owing anyone, I pay 300 extra each month on my Z and hope to have it paid off in the next year and a half if I stay on target. Then, if the new Z looks even better, I can just sell and upgrade.

All you need is approval. We approve, turn in your brz for a nicer car.

I'm just wondering why you went from 370Z(better) to BRZ(worse). Going from BRZ to 370Z is totally justifiable. That being said......though I'm a bit biased, wait and get the new 2016 Z. But if you don't want to wait, maybe you can lease a new 370z until the 2016 version comes out. If you're going to FI your BRZ, the cost will be substantial. By the time you're done modding the BRZ with FI, I'm sure it'll be around 40k.

I dunno why I sold it

I guess the excitement of something new that was receiving great praise in the BRZ

If you can wait a year, I'd wait to see what both company's are going to offer in terms of replacement. A turbo FRS/BRZ isn't off the table yet and would make that car significantly better, also the new Z would likely be worth waiting to check out too.

Both need a power boost in my opinion.

I am very torn right now

keep your brz for dd and get another Z for weekend fun. that's how i would do it in your case.

Hmm have you considered trading it in for an FRS?

I'm glad I didn't take that advice when I bought my (then) brand-new '09 370Z in May of 2009!
