For my calculations to be "wise" and for the whole loan situation + immigration situation to not go lop sided, all I require is a guarantee that the car will be worth 50% of its value after two years. If its worth more than 50% good for me, but if I can get a guarantee that I'd get at least half the money back it'll really make me comfortable.

How about I rephrase my question. From experience, how much do you say it would be "at least" worth when I walk in at the dealership trying to get rid of it ;)

Dude, you should have no problem selling your Z in two years more than half it's price. They hold there value very well and will still be "NEW" around most parts of the country. If it were an 08 I would say otherwise, cause they are on every corner! Good luck with your choice!

WOW ! Some scary value drop off there...

Bought my '06 RSX in '05 when they first came out. Checking out the value (in consideration of getting a Z) in November showed my mileage and condition worth between $17,000 - $18,000 as a private sale. That's only about $5,500 off what I paid for it over 4 years ago.
