If you drive like I did when I was 16, you'll get 15-18 MPG. And you have to use what passes for Premium nowadays (93 octane). If you do all your driving on the highway at 60 MPH, you might get 30 MPG - still a lot of high test fuel. Even if you do your own oil changes, it ain't cheap. If you use Nissan's ester oil, it's downright expensive. If you don't have the equipment to DIY (not as easy as with most cars), add some labor to that. Tires? You can get somewhat inexpensive tires, but they aren't going to be what you really want on a sports car. "Regular" tires for the Z are expensive. If you drive hard, they wear out fast. If you want high-performance tires, you better have deep pockets. Let's hope you don't get in a wreck. Aluminum body panels are expensive. Even odds-and-ends like knobs, bezels, and such come at a premium. The 370Z is a low-production car which makes performance parts expensive. About insurance: I don't know what you'd pay, but it's going to be HIGH for a 16 yo in a sports car that is expensive to repair. I wouldn't be at all surprised if some insurers don't even want your business - you are statistically too big of a risk. If you have the resources to afford all that (and more), then, by all means, go for it. It's a fun car to drive. I'm glad I got mine. Just be aware that, like most Big Boy Toys, they are money pits.
