Though it may seem like you can afford it right now, you may not be able to once you move out on your own. Trust me there... I was just able to start affording a nice new car right when I turned 21 (living on my own for the past 2 years at that point). And I was making $29-30/hr USD then.

Making quite a bit more now, and getting a tax/insurance break being married, so I was able to fit the new 370Z into the budget. You're on a good start job-wise it sounds, I would just buy something used now - keep it fairly stock - then trade it in for your new dream car a few years down the road.

And speaking insurance... it was costing me $230/month USD when I was single (21 y/o still) for my 2008 Evo X. The 370Z costs almost 50% more to insure, even with my wife listed as the primary driver.

I always take in good advice when i see one, I dont think ill be buying the 370z... but the 350z sounds pretty good, a used one, then mod it up nicely...

and the insurance can be under my dad

Honestly, if you wait a year, think about picking up a used 2009 370Z. I'm guessing you could find a clean one for about $23-24k then. Don't finance a car this expensive unless you really, really want it. Else, you're throwing money away for no good reason.

I highly doubt that... he's in Canada. Prices are higher.

Well, I was talking USD anyway. I'm not sure what the current exchange rate is, but an excellent condition 2009 370Z with 25k miles is going for $25.5k down here. I can imagine it dropping another thousand or two in a year.

Yeah seriously... I just looked at the MSRP on a base 370Z and it's $41k CAD. That's still at least $39k USD. That's crazy!

I'm 30 bought the 370 new jan. 09, invoice was 40K (i know i got screwed but i couldn't wait) i put 25K down around 7% interest the note is 323 a month financed for 72 months. I'm married and have multiple cars and good driving record the insurence on the Z is 85 a month. Hope this helps as a templet, of course because of the age and married vs single thing insurence and what not will be a little different. I also am selling my other 09 370Z here on this forum, just throwing that out there. LoL...

Looks like a stock 2005 35th edition... not sure, though.

That's the only year the color was available, and I'm pretty sure it only came on the special edition.
