Every car ive owned and pretty much ever want to own is a coupe... I just like smaller quicker agile cars I guess because I do more swurving and such then speeding (tons of cars and traffic.) Anyways to the point I currently own a 2010 Altima coupe 2.5 auto. I got it at 25k in a lease at .01% which was lower than financing. I've always wanted a Z obviously sexy as hell and quick. I've had it 21 monthes and I have 15 left.

Paid- 25k
Left on lease- 5460
Left on car after lease- 12k
Left on car- 17

What I hope to do is get a 2007 for about 13000 I have a bunch around me and put around 3000 in performance parts into it and the left over I could just save for any repairs that might occur.

What In your opinion would u do?
Wait till lease is up and do it or do it now? Or just keep the coupe bcuz it's brand new and upgrade that a slight bit.
Is a used Z the same quality and longevity as a new Altima?

Something used may not come with warranty, something you get when you buy new.

Your choice. Personally I would not be rolling in a auto altima. But hey you got a great rate on it.

This is very true about the warranty but I do believe that Nissan does a 30k bumper to bumper and 100 transmission and that's it I think. I'm currently at 22k so I'm kinda close and it'll be a null point.. Most used cars inthink get a 1 year 12k mile warranty? Or atleast something close to that.

The auto comment meh it does have its benefits it's nice around here bcuz it's constant traffic so less shifting etc plus the sport shifting isn't too far IMO if u use it for passing and such. But sticks are def the way for racing with stock options and IMO lets I feel the power of the car especially a sports car

I wish you luck on finding a 350 for around 13k.

I looked for months. The last 2007 I was looking at was priced at $19,300. Now granted I didn't really see what price I could get them down to but as you can see it's a pretty big difference from the 13k range. I believe it was just shy of 38k for miles too. Also....it was an auto which was just a damn shame if you ask me. I am sure you can find one for around 13k...it just depends on how many miles you are acceptable of it having.

I ended up getting my coupe from another dealer at a great price. Would I like a 350? Would love one!! But I am very happy with my coupe and to be honest haven't seen many of them around my parts. Kind of a unique car.

Good luck though!!!

hahahaha at 13k for a 2007...if you do get one for that be prepared to pay out the a** for repairs to get it driving...20k easily for an 07, hell its hard to find a high mileage 04 for 13k, stick with the altima

Idk where you live. But I find z's all the time for 10k with under 75k.

They are not 07's but 2006 is the first year of the hr correct?
