To make a long story shorter, but still long :

1) I used to have a '91 300zx na 5spd back in '99-00 that was still so new, 67k miles!! It took me a looong time but I finally got it.
2) I sold it a later b/c of the suv craze back then and wanted an suv, one of the biggest regrets of mine ever.
3) I didn't get the suv, but ended up with this accord.
4) now almost 3 yrs later, I want the Z again. I am a hugh Honda fan, not a Nissan fan, but a diehard Z fan.
5) If I try to break around even(I'm in college, not that much $$ laying around ) I can get possibly a '91 300ZX twin turbo w/80k miles for my '96 ex v6 with 63k miles.
6) Does this sound worth going through the trouble getting an older car with more miles instead of keeping a car that I've had a long time and I know is reliable?
7) Why do I want it: a) fast while still affordable(I can't afford a h22) b) one of the biggest Z fans you will find c) PS. it has to be a TT

I just don't want to do something stupid b/c I am so caught up in the idea at the moment. I respect the opinions in here so maybe from a 3rd party that's unbiased, I can get some insite that I can't see at the moment. Thanks

 

the power of dreams :rockon:

 

I have lost all respect for the people in here. j/k haha. Come'on now.

 

:gives:




Get the damn Z if you can afford to maintain it :thumbup:

 

yep, that is a question to pose, can I maintain the turbos, probably not. Thanks Chris.

 

Drove the 350Z Not a bad car. But I personally wouldn't get one. I know they are building a turbo kit by nismo for it. Your in college keep the accord and trick it out, but if you got the money and want to be on a waiting list, go for it. My roomate was about to get one but when he drove it he changed his mind also.

 

No problem Bruce. You know, if I was in your situation I'd get the 300Z hands down. I mean, that car is so much nicer than the Accord. But I just went from the RSX to an Accord because I couldn't afford it...if anything goes to shit on the Nissan, you're gonna be screwed.

 

And BTW, if I listened to the rest of the morons on HAN I'd be giving head to a Congressman right now to keep my RSX :fawk:

 

haha, I think I'm sticking with the Accord, if the turbos screw up, I'm done. The price to rebuild them makes me dizzy!! Its okay Chris, in a few years(1 1/2 for me), we'll get back what we want.

 

4 years for me, I just fawking transferred and switched majors
