trading in my coupe :(

[YeR iTz MiKe]

the 2.5 is just not cutting it for me, i financed the car with 0 down and im paying 500 a month for 48mnths and is it possible for me to give it back and they give me a g37 or a g35 ?

So what's wrong? Not enough power? Too expensive? For $500 a month you could have gotten a 3.5. It's possible to trade it in for a G but just keep in mind your monthly payments are most likely going to be much higher.

[el_blacky06]

so why do you wanna trade in your car for? if youre gonna trade in your car for a badass car like a g37 your payments are most likely gonna be in the range of 700 to 800 bucks a month depending on what your car is worth at the moment. in the past i tried trading my car for a coupe but it wasant worth it becaus e of the mileage i have on it. so if ur car has low miles most likely they will buy it back

If want to stay in the same ballpark, get a base model, or 1 yearoldG37, and doa 60 or 72 month finance plan... youwould still be able to keep the monthly payments below $600

i only have like 5000 miles on my car.

that

thats exactly it, not enough power, i want a faster car.

thatthats exactly it, not enough power, i want a faster car.

Then go for a 3.5 Coupe. I hear the G37 is really not that much faster because it weighs so much.

[el_blacky06]

ohh alrite well how long have you had your car for? if you want more power try the 3.5 but i keep thinking if u trade in your 2.5 for a 3.5 your ups & downs will be too much and it may not be worth it....and if ur a baller then go right ahead lol

[phobs]

g35

exactly.... 60 morehorsepower, but almost 300 pounds heavier equals a net 30 HP gain... you feel it ever so slightly, but not worth the extra 10 K in my opinion...

also, here's a recent head to head look between the v8 Genesis and the G37... http://www.insideline.com/hyun....html

the G37 has time very similar to the manul time for the 3.5 A/C

manual A/C 5.8s 0-60mph , 14.2s 1/4milemanula G37 5.7s 0-60mph, 13.9s 1/4mile

granted, the Edmunds guys can't drive for s*it, but still .. that difference is just not worth an extra 10-14K over the 3.5A/C...

see, this i never understood. people get a 2.5 knowing it's not going to have that much power as the 3.5 and then like not too long after they get it, they say "i wanna trade it in, it's not enough power". it has the same amout of power when you test drove it, if you test drove a 3.5 also you would notice the difference in power... so why get the 2.5 that has less power, just to trade it in for something with more power?

**not putting anyone down, i was just curious because this seems to happen alot and i nver understood it .02***

[wade001]

LOL. I couldn't afford it, thats why i got the 2.5but your right, why get a 2.5 if you can get a 3.5 to begin with.

[SuIiCiDaL]

dude wat u should do is put every custom performace parts on it like exast, turbo intake injector and other parts you wont regret it. i will be faster than the stock 3.5 trust me u will feel it and love it!

[wade001]

yah, i'll slowly be upgrading it. thats a lot of fun for me lol. making power out of a small engine also says a lot

a proper custom turbo kit will run you much more than a 3.5 upgrade would have costed... If you didn't have the money to get a 3.5 in the first place, how are you gonnacomeup with the cash needed to put ona complete custom turbo kit?????

I wouldn't go that far. i'd buy a z or G for that. theres no debate if you want a faster car you should've got the 3.5 to begin with. but for a person to buy a 2.5 and then a yr later trade it in for a 3.5 you loss a lot of money, possibly enough to compensate for a torbo kit on the car you allready have.

[losenone]

You live in Queens, how much faster you think you can go lol

If you wanna trade it in, go for a year or 2 old G. Thats your best bet to keep your payments to as close to as what your paying now.

i kinda rushed into a car, thats why i got it, what i really wanted was a g37 or a gti but the g was pricey and i veedubs have problems down the line so i settled with nissan. but thing is that power wise its not that great, but it does look good, and the reason that i didnt get the 3.5 is because it has a really heavy front end so its gonna handle like s***.

I have a v6 and it in no way handles like s***. Then you put on a strut bar and rear sway bar then realize how much better it can be.

check out the 300zx, it's cheap and it looks good. plus its twin turbo

[rcboy514]

lol I think that problem is that ppl find this site too late. Without the influence of the car modding scene in your head before you buy a car it would be much easier to settle for less power and a better deal money wise. Then when you do get involved in a website like NICO and you see all the modding and ways to make your car fast, then you start to regret settling for less power. If in fact that your main focus was speed and power.

in my case, I was planning on modding any car that I bought, so when it came down to finding a car I chose my 3.5 A/C over a used z. Yes there are times that i regret it, but at the time, my dad really wanted me to buy a new car as my first car to buy myself to ensure that it would be reliable and not risk getting a used and abused 350z.

also because my gf got a 2.5 A/C about 5 months before I got mine, and I didn't want the EXACT same car lol

[YeR iTz MiKe]

i decided to stay in the altima family and just get the 3.5 when i have enough money to pay it off.

[JLAUDIO85]

if u have the $$$ i say keep this car for daily and buy a project like s13/ 300zx and mod the hell out of it lol yea i agree 2.5 is slowww but saves me speeding tickets n gas...mostly speeding tickets lol

s13 = i want lol

while i agree the 2.5 isn't fast it isn't slow to me either. oh yah, I'm enjoying my 37mpg highway driving lol .

[JLAUDIO85]

lol im happy as long as i can smoke those civics all day hahahahah

There's not much out there power wise for us, IHE for us 2.5s and Intake Exhaust YPipe for you 3.5s The Bully Dog can work on both, There is now resources on what needs to happen if you want to boost a 2.5 or 3.5 and even 6mt and cvt. Power wise the gap is still there, but I don't think that it's worse the pay cut from trading in the 2.5

I love my 2.5 and although at times I wish I had a 3.5 I'm happy, because it is a great daily driver, looks good, and sounds good. When I get the money I will get the 280z up and running and let that be my stupidly fast car.

not worth it, i thought about it too and all it amounts to is lost money. pick up an e30 is my advice lol

[Coupes4Life]

You know everyone of us on this forum could have bought a used car and hooked it up to be 2x faster than a 3.5 for the money it costs to buy a 3.5 so who cares if someone wants to trade in there 2.5 for a faster car, I love my car but I regret getting because of the performance( this my first car g ma bought it cant complain) but I could have bought an 04 cobra for the money I paid for my car it sucks thinking back of what u could have done.

very true man. i could have got into a 3.5 but i went for the loaded 2.5 with illusions that i would mod the s*** out of it and someday make it become fast. lol if an e30 m3 can boil all of its power out of a 4 cyl, why cant i? then i realized i have 2 project cars in my garage already in dire need for speed lol. the 2.5 just turned into a daily driver for me at this point, i do have plans to do a few mods, but with the 100k warranty there isn't a whole lot i can do the engine after the CAI and tune. i guess i'll just focus on aesthetic appeal for now

[BLKmomba1]

im from ny... power is cool but ur not gonna be able to get above 120 anywhere ... pot holes n cops. keep the 2.5 and save some $$... next time properly test drive yo vehicle shun!
