its a 2004 350z enthusist edition. they are asking 19k i told them i cant even begin to talk with them unless they will do 17k and he said lets drive it and look at what we can give you for the tib.
my plan is to sell the tib for about 5.5k. i owe 3.5k so there will be 2k left over. then if i put another 2k with that for a downpayment of 4k i can get it to 13k financed which puts me at around 60-70 bucks more then i pay right now for the tib.

350 is nice.. duno how your gonna get close to 5.5k for the tib though..
its up to you.. do you want to go 'mainstream' or stick with something more rare like the tib.
and yeah, the payments would only be 60-70 more per month, but they would last for a MUCH longer time.
i would wait, save up some cash and then look at a new car.. pay off the tib, so w/e little bit of $$$ you get for it, will be pure profit.

those year 350z have alot of issues, the other main option is a s2000 but i'm going tommarow to test drive both hopefully.
the tib in my area is worth about 5700 with the 56kmotor in there. plus i keep mine in great condition so i dont see why i cant get 5500 for it. every dealership in town that has one wants 6-8k and private party is aroudn 4.5-5k but they are all in worse condition then mine.
and i have 2ich thick folder of receipts for maintenance and parts so its documented proof of the care givin to the car.

^^^well good question i'm just going to go and look at her and see whats up. i just know there are alot of TSB on early 350z's and the parts are more expensive.
i'm done throwing money into my tib. and i dont think that it would be as efficent to turbo my car as it would to just buy a car with some power already. i just need something lil more powerful but nice to cruise in, my bike is all the speed i need. the car just needs to be something nice to cruise in.

is that you talking in the vid?
It's up to you man but I don't see myself financing another vehicle ever. With just a few grand to paying off the tib you could then drop the insurance some and keep costs down and save up to buy something like this in a year or two. You'll pay a lot less in the long run.

^^no thats the car sales guy he was showing me the car online because i had to work some extra hours today.
im kinda leaning toward the keep the tib and finance a new bike instead that wouldnt be a bad way to handle the situation. i just know the more i keep the tib the more money its gonna cost me to keep it up to par every season. when i could get a stock car again and it be faster then anything i could do to the tib.
idk im just thinking i want something new, im sure you guys know how it is when you get the bug for something new.
