^Lol. Car looks to be in good shape Peng, looks clean overall. You have a beautiful car though, I would keep it if it were up to me. Either way, do what makes you happy! A new 370Z or IPL G would be pretty sweet too.

That's the idea. Car only has 37K on it so tranny should be good to go for a while yet. My brother has had 2 LH platform cars and has run them well over 150K miles without issue.

There's a chance I'd still keep my G too but we'll see how hard it is to swallow nearly a thousand a month on my cars

Maybe just put the money that you would towards this car towards your G and try paying it off completely? Then drive the G and wait another 2 years, puit a decent chunk down on a new car, and call it good.

How much do you have left to pay on the G?

I'm off the forum for a few days and you found yourself a Chrysler I like the interior a lot and the mileage/price ratio is very appealing! I was in your shoes not too long ago so I understand. If you plan on letting the G go then you need to look at more then just price and mileage for your interim ride. Get yourself something that you wouldn't mind driving for a while. This may cost you a couple thousands more but Interim periods have a funny way of extending themselves farther than planned.

Now it is NOT in the same league as my G but from a value standpoint, it does look enticing...Objectively speaking (without your Infiniti goggles on)...what would you do?

It's a 300M special. Only 37K miles and I can probably get it for around 7,500-8K
when all is said and done.

So I received my replacement tail light yesterday. Instead of getting a passenger side tail light, I got a drivers side. Now I have two drivers side tail lights. Is it really hard for people to read labels on boxes?

^Yeah really. People just don't give a damn about things. As long as everything is good for themselves, that's all that matters.

This proves that white is the fastest color for the G

Haha...yeah Tevi, I saw a clip of this on the news today and I laughed when they said the Infiniti was just too fast for them to catch and that it went around all their road blocks and spike sticks

And in regards to that 300M...the decision was made for me because they sold the car the night before I called. And Tevi, that blueish looking trim on the car is actually carbon fiber! The car was really sharp looking! And for 8k, that was a pretty good looking vehicle. The "special" also has sport tuned dual exhaust, sport suspension as well as HID lights.

As for my car Janik, I still owe 18K. Gotta love paying mostly interest portion first on loans huh

That's what that 300M WAS lol...But per your reasoning, extended interims probably have as much to do with the fact that the person bought a car they wouldn't mind driving for a while! Actually...buying a POS car would be a better idea so that I'll be motivated to get something else sooner. Maybe I really need to go find me a purple impala like my buddy Lance And Lance, you know you'd already be rocking a 37 if it weren't for things like oh...a new house and an upcoming wedding.
