Default Contemplating about trading my Accord in for a 350z..

I've got an 03 Accord Coupe and have been looking at the new 04 350z base models. From what I've heard, all the 03 bugs have been worked out in the 04 model so everything is straight. I just stopped by a dealership in Hampton coming back from the Va Beach and noticed they had a slightly used Silverstone (dark gray)2004 Performance Model. It's got the stock 18's, HID's, and TCS i believe. 2000miles, and only $27,900.

The temptation is killing me right now. With my recent promotion, I'm making a lot more money and can easily afford it. Hmmmm. What to do..What to do..

i love 350z's, there fawkin sweet. just a thought, but have you checked out any other cars along the same performance as the Z, like maybe an s2k, evo, rx8, STi, ugh, there are so many cool cars out now, the list could just keep growing. but the Z is a really cool car.

Yes I have. The S2K is nice but I'm not much of a convertible person so I wouldn't want to shell out the extra g's for a hardtop. RX8 is hideous. STI and Evo are both dope performance oriented cars that would smoke a Z, but they are 4 doors and not as appealing to me. I just like the way the Z looks all around. This wouldn't be a car that I would be modding.

If anything I'd wait to buy a Z until they do something about the interior. It doesn't seem so bad at first glance but after spending some time in it, you begin to get the impression that it's really cheap.

The Z stirs much conflict in me. On paper it's a great car (albeit a little heavy), looks really mean, and even stock has a great exhaust note. It gives off an "I mean business" vibe. But then when I have driven them on a few different occasions I felt more like I was in a big sedan with all the practicality and interior volume removed, than in a sports car.

as far as i know, it was a flash movie, or something along the lines of that...

for the Z problem...How much more will you have to pay for insurance? Have u checked any of that at? If you can afford the car/insurance, i would go for it.
