If the answer is no to both of those, then I say DEFINATELY GET IT!!! And I also ask what you are doing in that 2.5S Sedan in the first place... but I digress!

You have the money, you have the youth, you aren't financially hurting yourself, it's what you really want.... its a no brainer! And from the bottom of my heart, I thank you for not wanting to trade your Altima in for a car from a company that may not exist this time nest year!!! IMO, that's just retarded... but hey, again, thanks for keeping it in the family!

NOW get it and turbo that BIATCH!!
Single and no kids!!!

Originally bought 2.5s sedan so the gf can drive it too. But now she's gone and sedan is gone as well.. Always love the Z....still NICO member baby!!!!!

No actually I banged it up a little then traded it for a Titan SE 4x4 (i was getting into a house at the time and moved back to PA, Z wasn't practical anymore)...but I do miss it, 2003 Brickyard Touring 6MT.

How much did the insurance change going from an economy car to the 2 seater Z?

Did you enjoy driving the Z? I believe 03 Z has a few problems with brake pads wear off too fast and clutch issue. Hopefully everything is taken care off for 08 model.

Yes. That's pretty low price for a sport car. Also that's after discounts for multi cars and house.
