Im thinking of selling the 240...

[nismodave]

No Joke. In spring, when I get back to work, I am considering selling the 240, and buying this car. I know Ive talked about a new Camaro, but I really like what Im seeing from this car.

I walk past a bunch of G37's everyday and they are bad ass!!!!!!!!

[Waver]

dave, I hate so say it, but I can see you in the z......however I would hate to see the 240 leave your posession.

[shoooo32]

There is no doubt the new Z is a fantastic car however the 240 is legend. I think you would regret it after a year or two in the Z.

If it were me I would keep the 240 around.

[nismodave]

That maybe true, Shoo. Its not an easy decision. Juust would like something new....maybe.

I cant afford a Z my 6 and the 240, Nic. I would use money from the sale for the down payment.

Yea I get what you would do. You really cant really do what anyone tells you to do on here. All you should do is hear it and then make your own decision. But I think if I had to make a decision on my car I can say i would get rid of it in a heartbeat but when the time would come I dont think I could.

[shoooo32]

It's understandable. Hey, you Could lease the Z and beat the piss out of it! Throw snow tires on it and use it as a winter beater.

[nismodave]

Exactly, Nic.

Ive owned the car for a long time. And I know sentimental value isnt a consideration with most on here. But it is for me.

Just something Im kicking around. I have to sell it some day.....Dont I??

[Silver86]

as much as i would hate to see you sell the 240... i say go for it... the 370 is an awesome car!

but, i would say take one on a good test drive b4 you make your decision... you probably know that already... so just ignore my ramblings.

Well after seeing that color on that car Id say the 370 would be the shit:headbang

Ha!! Not too far off, eh?

Never seen that pic. Thanks.:thumbsup

[Reverend Cooper]

cool more gay and more slow good decision,J/k I was thinking of selling mine in the spring or summer too,I really want a GT-500KR or a used Ford GT. I would use it for nice downpayment also.

[nismodave]

Well, Im not looking for a 1/4 mile car.

I would like to do some track day stuff in the Midwest. Perhaps some cone dodging at Miller Park.

[Reverend Cooper]

you are looking for a 1/4 car or aren't dont understand

[nismodave]

you are looking for a 1/4 car or aren't dont understand

Whoops forgot the NOT.:goof

[Reverend Cooper]

Ok,well if you decide to do road racing I would prolly get into it. I don't know much about it and really don't want to go out and look like a noob. It would be nice to see and do that.

[Yooformula]

hot car Dave! do they make turbo kits for those things? either way I would jump on it in a second if I could keep both. It is hard for those us that have owned our cars for a long time, not an easy decision.

[Reverend Cooper]

I am not going to lie and say I wouldn't miss mine cuz I really would.But going to a cooler and/or faster and cooler car would ease a majority of the pain for me anyhow.

[Breecher_7]

Hard decision, Id probably keep the 240 though.

[Myles]

god damn the 370 is ******* ugly...

[ThatWhiteCivic]

I would do it. The new Z performes excellent, and once your warentee (sp?) runs out a twin turbo kit would be very nice.

[Exitspeed]

Can't say I blame ya. Z's are hot. Even a used G35 would be a step in the right direction.

As much as I love 240's it's hard not to consider buying a used 350 or G coupe.

[WhatsADSM]

Yea not a bad platform. Only thing I don't like about the 370 is the weight, there was all this talk about how much lighter it will be and then its like 3250 or so which IMO isn't all that great.

But it is a nice looking car, with some decent nuts, and I'm sure a GREAT chassis and suspension right out of the box.

Let us know what you do!

Not alot going less than 3k with all the saftey shit u have to have on them.

I want a nice stock weekend car with a warranty.:thumbsup

It IS lighter though. (depending on the model)

[WhatsADSM]

It is lighter by like 50 or 100 lbs.. Just not really what I was looking for. I would have been all over it if it was under 3k which is what the initial rumors had it around.

I agree tho the safety stuff adds a lot of weight, as did all the additional structural rigidity they gave the chassis.

[HITMAN]

The 370Z is a hot car, but new wears off after a while and big car payments SUCK. I will miss my Cobra when it's gone, but I won't miss the payments. There is something about a car you've got a lot of time and creative juice into, especially when it's paid for. Trust me on this, you WILL be sorry if you sell your 240. Maybe not right away, but you will eventually regret it. The grass is always greener...

[Voodoo Chick]

Exactly, Nic.

No you don't! If you're attached to it, you should keep it, and don't worry about people saying it's wrong to be attached to it! It's yours, after all....if it makes you happy, keep it and enjoy it!

[boostaddict14]

Change can be good and that's what i opted for with my 240. The thing that sucks though is you know you wont get near what you want for the 240 as people in the s chasis community are largely cheap bastards.

[HRSEPLA]

My opinion is to keep the 240, don't buy the new one until you can do it without the sale of that car.
You will look back in a few months or a few years and go "I only sold it for $xxxx?", that is pocket change now! I sure sould like to drive it again, if I only would have waited it out!
But then again, it is your car, maybe this new car phase will pass, or maybe it wont, and you will enjoy the finer things with age. lol

I already changed it a holes:rolf
Quit hikacking, Daves trying to sell his car.

[Reverend Cooper]

dave hope you can get the new car. Sam why change it I liked it

[1320PNY]

I have to agree with anyone who tells you to wait. Toys are getting expensive NEW and holding value for about 2 years. If you look around at anything in the $30K plus range, it takes a minimum $10K hit in the first two years.

I would hold out and buy a used car in two years. You're going to tear it apart and make it your own anyway, plus the "Z" cars are a 45yr old man's dream, so in two years you can pick one up that was bought and never taken over 3500 rpm as some old dude wanted to troll for 25 year olds.

I saw a red 350 at Ace Hardware. I talked to the owner (probably 50 yrs old) and he said he had it for 3 months and got it up to 90mph. He said it was "scary fast".

Wait and be happy. I know Winter makes you want to do crazy things, but just hold out and you can have both.

[boostin350z]

sweet thing about the new z, is the motor/tranny has been arouns for quite awhile (different variations of course) and theres already plenty that has been done. ive been in and out of the vq, so if you ever plan to upgrade, im your man lol.

Sour thing is quality parts are still as expensive as they were 3 years ago. There's plenty of aftermarket support and the car is phenomenal, but don't expect to mod a Z33 for the same dollars you're modding a 240 for. A NICE exhaust is $600-$800. S-Tune Exhaust is damn near $1000. Stance at least makes coil overs for it which are affordable. Any kind of turbo kits gonna run you $5000.

Just sayin.

I dont plan on any mods if I buy a z34.

this si true, but with the amount of people constantly selling parts, you can get really great prices on almost mint condition parts. my AAM exhaust is $1650 brand new, i got mine for $775 shipped. instead of shelling out over 1k for aam's fuel return setup, i found rails for $200 (new) and just bought lines and fittings...

only downside is the hard to get parts that i really needed, sp triple pump is $900, AAM 3" downpipes run $600ish, and carbonetics triple plate was $2100. it gets really stupid really quick, and it sucks because im addicted to it lol

[LIZMO]

dave, how much are you gonna part w/ it for? is there like a lil sister discount? i could use a new daily lol............ or i can convince nick to get it :thumbsup

[Flicktitty]

It's already been talked about.... :party::licky

[LIZMO]

so quit talking about it and DO IT

[nismodave]

I will make my final decision by end of Feb.

[boostaddict14]

It's definitely better to think things through then make an impulse decision.

[sdb300zx]

OMG the blue is dead sexy!! You so need one of those.. I like the 370's better then the 350's. 300z's are the best hehe jk :)

[Troutman]

I will make my final decision by end of Feb.

Dave, i would take your car over the 370 in a heartbeat..but then again i'd take anything over the 370 (unless the 370 came with a saws-all). needless to say im not a fan of Nissans new "brand identity" direction... "our bucktooh grill look failed, so lets try some boomerang headlights on all the models"

buy a later model 350 and save yourself some cash

lets hope you didn't hawk my spring compressor that you were suppose to return to me 5 months ago to fund your project ;)

370z > 350z on all levels IMO

[floaters]

get another job so you can keep both

[nismodave]

get another job so you can keep both

I would be happy with 1 job right now.:mad:

[gottwins?]

I agree with troutman, although my reasoning is more towards performance. The fact that they did not make a turbo version and continued the n/a trend like the 350 with limitations to make easy and cheap aftermarket hp steered me the other way. $3-4k for a turbo set up and if you want to make some good numbers you have to start digging into the engine, imagine what you could with that in the 240?

Anyways, my girl is interested so let us know.
