Default Trade in an 07 BSP for 08 SW or Paintjob.. or a 350z?

My car currently have 23,000k miles on it and its BSP but want to start anew with white tc and also was wondering which way is better? trade in for SW tc so save me tons of paint job cost or what?

or...

get 350 z?

350z is way out of the tc league. why not just get a 350z. or yet a faster car!

At first i was going to get a truck but decided not to cus of high price "40k" and due to two jobs, will need to use the car instead of bus so getting a truck is out of question.

i always have a love for 350z but i dont mind another tc but which you think i should go for?

350z is a great car. I personally dont think it looks too good in white though. Black looks great on a Z.

350Z if you can afford the gas, oil, insurance. Then it's definitely no questions asked. As for trading in for a 08 tC, negative to that! I rather go to a high reputable paint shop and have them repaint, that way you dont have to deal w/ the dealership and you'll probably end up with more layers of paint than w/ your current car.

A basic 350Z will run you atleast $28,000. That's without the bells and whistles.

I'd rather get this bad boy for $28,000 after $1,000 cash back.

Actually you can get them for as low as $26,000. I added some option so that it'd equal the Z. The 28K has leather and the Shaker 10 sound system


I live in So Cali so 350z is as common as a Honda Civic here. I hear their exhaust droning left and right. IMO, it actually sounds irritating, like a mosquito buzzing around your ear. V8 + headers + H pipe + flowmasters...

OK if its up to you, which you will do? trade your old tc for new one with color that you want or do the paint job at the shop?

Paint it. You can get a sweet 2 tone paint job for $24K cheaper than a Z.

I personally don't like the Z. Mostly driven by chumps around here who want to race at every stop light. (Like I'm going to waste my time TRYING to race a Z.) Also, I don't find it that attractive.

But if $$$ is no problem, then go with a Z. Stay away from Fords!!!

you could get a 07 s2000 for under $28,000, practically new, who cares if its been used a little.
I'm just saying that everybody has the Z, i see bout 50 a day. i personally dont like it.
how many s2000's do you see everyday? you'll be lucky if u see 1 or 2
