Should be able to buy a 370Z with 35k.

Would have said GTR, but still couldn't afford financing 60k.

Down payment on a fully loaded 4x4 Titan LE Crew Cab. Either Timberline Green or Red Brawn with the Almond leather buckets.

I'd buy a 370Z right off the bat, have it completely paid off with the money, remaining money will save for insurance.

I would sell my rights to the $35,000 credit at Nissan for $25,000 Cash to someone who was willing to buy a vehicle at Nissan in the first place. Then I could get my Skyline GTR, and then put $12,000 into engine performance rebuilding or bolt ons, maybe some bigger turbos or whatever or an engine rebuild to try and make around 500 HP. Smarter than your average bear!

This Nissan 370Z has only 26 more hp than the original 2008 350Z, whats up with that, you would figure they would put a set of Twin Turbo's on that mother! And for $30,000 plus tax, your looking at more than $35,000.....Looks like I will stay with my decision! I have seen racing videos of the 350Z and I am shocked!

Hopefully the 370Z can make up for the 350Z loss.

370Z. Smaller, lighter, more power and higher quality than the outgoing Z33.

$35,000 credit with Nissan?

I'd fully restore the Q, including new paint, new interior surfaces where needed, engine rebuild...leaving mods intact of course.

If I still had credit left over after that, I'd move on to restoring the Maxima.

I agree with deja, fully-loaded Titan. Black, Dark Tint, Blacked Out Lights, 33inch tires.

Save money and get the Rogue, unless you really need that little extra room of the Murano. If you have the 3.5 you'll hate it when gas jumps to rediculous prices again.

its funny im like the only person who likes high gas prices... cuz the way it works with me is that if the gas prices are high then im busy at work... and if theyre low like they are now, then there is a good chance that i will be slowing down at work...

I guess thats the hard-knock life of a gas station pump attendant. not knocking you for being one, at least your employed. wait, that makes no sense... buy cheap, sell high... what do you do?

Id say Nismo 370Z or a sh$t-ton of OEM parts for my S13...

The VQ35 is VERY fuel efficient in my experience. I definitely wouldn't agree here. The Rogue will equal the Murano's fuel economy at best. The VQ is a vastly better motor than the QR and worth a few MPG sacrifice even if the Rogue somehow managed better economy than the Murano. I've gotten 32 mpg on the highway in the '04 Maxima. Granted the Murano weighs 1000 lb more, but that still puts you at mid-20s average. I highly doubt the Rogue beats that in the real world.
