I would not buy a used sports car no telling what the other owner did with it some people drive the heak out of them then trade them in for a new one . so even if it looks great may have been driven really hard so its a gamble good luck.

 

They are two different tools for different jobs. Sportscars are a 2nd or 3rd car in your fleet.

 

I agree with mystro. I have my Q-cab, but I also have a 88 RX7 for a fun zippy car.

The car is OK, but you just can't beat a truck. Especially when you've made it your own with the mods.

I believe in time that you will find far more uses for your truck to enjoy, than you will the car. If you really have to, find a small beater to drive, and save the truck for the weekend. You'll be glad you did.

 

I use my Saturn to commute in and my Ram is a second vehicle for ATV hauling, occasional dump run and a trip to Home Depot once in a while.

 

Speaking from experience, you will definitely regret parting with your truck.

I had a 77 F100 Custom my first 2 years of college...
Got out of it, and into a Caprice thinking it would be more "practical" (largely at the advice of my girlfriend.)
Buyer's remorse didn't set in until the time came to change apartments, and REALLY hit home the next winter.. (hunting, snow, etc)
Took me a while to get into a position to get back into a truck, and I don't think I'll ever go to a sedan or coupe again...

But maybe I'm just a redneck at heart....

 

Well I own a 350z and G35 coupe. Pretty much the same car but the G is nicer IMO. If you were going to make the change I would look into the G35. It hands down a nicer car. We also just bought a 06 hemi 4x2. The wife drives the Z and when she got into the dodge she said wow thats crazy we paid the same price for the Ram as we did the Z. That should tell you something right there! If your really set on the Z you can get a 03 for about 21k. You can get a 03 G335 for about 28k.

 

Unless you have another truck, make sure you really want to do that. I traded in an F-150 (yeah I know, it was a Ford) for the '04 GTO. I had fun for awhile, but ultimately missed having a truck. So, here I am with the Ram and loving life again.

 

I read this, "WAY better gas mileage" and laughed.

My wife has an 04 G35 (Infiniti's version of the 350) and it does not get better mileage than my 05 hemi.

When we go out of town we take the truck and leave that rough riding bad MPG POS at the house. LOL. Its not a POS, I love to drive it, and it does fly, but dang the mileage. LOL.

I also like the way it will hang turns. Really hang turns.

But it is a nice car, but dont trick yourself into thinking you are going to be getting 30MPG, or 25MPG for that matter.

 

For what it's worth....my friend owned a z (03 low miles) and ended up trading it in for a single cab tacoma and never looked back.... try putting a sheet of drywall or tile in the back of a z car... there really is no room.... And do like I did.... build a fast little car and still have the ram (Ie I have a Turbocharged mustang) [sm=badbadbad.gif]

 

Why not just pickup something to drive around that's a beater that gets decent gas mileage?

The mid 80's Nissan Datsun pickups had the 24Z motor in it from the Nissan 240's. They were super quick....and got 30+mpg.....
