ok
so im getting a bit bored of my evo and i am looking for another car to drive
had the evo for 2 years, all payed off, and id like to switch to something else to drive for a bit
my plan at the moment is selling my car, buying a cheaper daily, looking to spend around 10k or so, bank some cash and do some saving, and when the time comes around purchase something nice, along the lines of a 335 or something like that
so anyways im debating what kind of car i should get to daily
i am currently considering an s2000 or a 350z
both of which i could pick up for around 10k which would give me a prime amount of cash to bank once i sell my evo
i plan on keeping the cars pretty much stock, just looking to do things such as suspension and wheels, possibly some minor modding such as an intake/exhaust and stuff like that
looking for opinions and preferences on the two cars
also looking for other other opinions for other cars
for the poll, select an explain please
ill leave the option for an “other” for something else i could rock as a daily
I have a lot of fun with my car. They are pretty inexpensive now and for the money you cant really beat it. Its fun to drive on the street, Fun to drive on the track, and in my opinion very sexy.
More like lack of torque, but they’re pretty close in performance.
I liked my S2000 a lot and that was coming from a corvette, but def missed the low end power. One thing to keep in mind is that the interior is VERY small on the S2000 and there is a little more comfort in the 350Z. IMO you should just get a G35 and forget about having a junker car. It seems like a good balance of performance and comfort and you don’t have to waste money on something else.
If you’re stuck on the 350 vs S2000…think about it this way. If you’re going to do a lot of track events with this car, get the S2000. If you’re not 350Z for the road. You can drive the 350z/g35 platform in the winter better then you could the S2000…don’t know if you would either way, but just thrownin that out there.
Trade your car in for a 335. Pretty sure there is 0% out there on CPO 2007 335i’s right now, that’s better than “banking and saving some prime amount of cash”.
lack of power doesnt really bother me
i have a modded evo but i dont ever really use the power that much i mean ill go fast here and there
but id rather have something nice to daily around town
i hate convertibles, unless its a s2k
lol
i just dont like how it ruins the body lines imo
considered, but trading my car in wouldnt get my close to what it is worth
mitsu would only give me around 17 for my evo, bmw would most likely give me less, and private party is still 23
other issue my current income would be just enough to pay a monthly bill which would leave me with zero spending money and there is no sense to having a car i cant afford to put gas in
my figuring is if i save up for around a year or so, the pricing will come down on a cpo 335i and put it right in my range of affordable with having cash left over
meh not a fan, i prefer e46 over e36, but i dont want to spend that much money on a car
Based on your math, if you can’t afford the $290 a month that you will pay for a CPO BMW after your trade in, saving for a year to get a little over $3K in not really gonna help your cause, especially considering the trade in tax discount of $1600. Stick with what you have.
