2007 Nissan 350z
Just a thought....
I was bored at work and started browsing autotrader. I was looking at the 3's for sale around here. Some with about 5 times as many miles as mine and equally equipped were selling for around $18,000-$20,000. I got such a good deal on mine when I bought it new I could almost be making a profit on my car if I sold it now. The problem though, is what car should I replace it with if this happens? I would have around $6k in the bank after this....

Again, just a thought. Give me some opinions?
 
just keep your car. You're likely to repeat the same cycle with whatever you get next.
 
thought about all of those cars.....
if I go rotary it will be a clean rx7
350z would be nice but probably too expensive.....same for the ms6

I was maybe thinking something like a 2002 mr2 spyder.....found one with 13k miles for 16k
 
so I think I may have had a small change in my decision......
I was thinking of selling my car for 18000 but I just blue booked it....18,940. What do you guys think I could get away with asking?
Also, I said no to both the rx8 and 350z yesterday and those are the two cars I am now considering. I could get a 2006 rx8 off the lot for dealer cost or a used 350.....dont know which I want to do because I think overall I like the 350 more.....
 
I've seriously considered selling my Mazdaspeed and going to either the RX-8 or the 350z. I've driven the RX-8 a number of times and have to say it is a blast to drive. I have not driven the 350z so I am not sure what to tell you on that one.

One thing that worries me about the rx-8 is the longevity of the rotorary engine. The last version of the rx-7 was a nightmare and very costly to maintain. I'd also be very careful about buying a used RX-8. The rotorary burns oil and it is a must that you add oil and watch it very carefully. If you buy a used one where this has not been watched, it may come back to haunt you.

One other thing that is hard to swallow on rx-8 and the 350z is the MPG. According to the specs you can only expect around 18 to 21 mpg. Thats going to hurt going from your 3, but the power and everything else is so worth it in my opinion.

Have you considered a Mini Cooper S? I have yet to drive one but, from what I have read they look to be a very cool car.

This is all my opinion and all this information is based only from what I have heard and read. Both cars would be just a blast to own and drive. Tough decision.
 
gas mileage is about my only concern, but since I only put about 600-700 miles per month on my car its not a HUGE thing. I just really want the extra power. I looked at some used 350z today.....found a black 04 with 9k miles for about 23k and a white 04 with 12k for about 24k......dont know which would be better cuz I LOVE white.
The other thing is I would get a new 06 at cost.....very tempting, but the z is more power

EDIT!!!!!!! I meant i could get an 06 rx8 at cost....not the z. sorry, im an idiot

The 06 Z has standard 18 inch wheels, better interior, 300 hp ( 287 in previous years ), LED tail lights, and the list goes on. If you can afford the 06 I would go for it.
 
anyone know what the lug pattern/stock offset of a 350z is? I searched and am just mildly retarded. I was just wondering if I could hang on to my rims if i got a z

why dont you just go turbo. apparently the 3 loves boost
thought about it a lot, still may end up taking this route. Once I boost it though I will have to upgrade everything else (practically) to maintain some reliability. Still up in the air though
 
GO TURBO! THERE IS NO OTHER OPTION!! .... U MUST JOIN THE DARKSIDE... (laugh)
