After the test drive today I've been wanting the New Nissan Z for a while now but I still don't know if I wanna sell the CL or trade it in. My Cousin is interested but the only problem is that he wants the S/C'er out and I have all the stock parts missing (long story on that) and with the economy what not I shouldn't be messin' with new car payments. My restaurant business is on and off recently and the profits aren't as potential as before. Its easy friends say "go for it" but I just don't want to take a chance don't get me wrong i still like the CL but with deals at the dealerships is attracting me on getting the 370z, great car. maybe I should just put the cl back to stock, maybe keep it and throw on the HBP and tune it? hopefully you guys can shine some light

 

Send me your supercharger kit and I will turn it into an MP90 unit at 10psi, for a small fee. I will even make you an intercooler and get you the maps for the AEM FIC you will need to run it all. Just a thought. MP90's are $275 shipped on ebay at the moment new in the box. I wanted to cry when I saw it because I paid dearly for mine.

 

I'm really close to taking the blower off your hands John I just wish the economy wasn't so down right now, it's hard to let go of that kinda cash. I think you should hold onto the car for now. When your biz gets going consistently a car payment wont hurt as much.

JProy, is there an intercooler for just the regular s/c and hbp?

 

you of all peeps gets me all AMP'ed up with the S/C'er hahaha hows the MP90 project coming? Intercooler? is yours similar with Scalberts setup?

 

I know Brian this econmoy sucks ass now.....yeah...I haven't driven the CL for almost 6 months now she's still at 58k miles in about 3 weeks I'm gonna take it out to start driving it again for the summer

 

I doubt you'll feel like selling after you start driving her again.

 

Keep the CL for alittle while. As long as your sig is current, you have two other cars to drive, so you don't need a new car. Why go out and put yourself in $35k of debt?

Good luck with the restaurant btw.

 

Drive up to Canada, we'll put the s/c on my car, and you can have my stock parts

 

i think it just depends on how much the Z will set you back. i'd actually love to get a new or newer car myself. only thing stopping me is i probably won't get much for my CL and i really don't want to take on another 4 years or so of car payments.

if you can manage the payments and still eat, sleep and live comfortably, then i say go for it

 

I would not be getting anything giving the state of our economy & country.
CL resale or trade in just SUCKS. Your not going to get much out of it now.

 

you know, i should have just spent all of my money and bought your car as we planned man...my transmission just went out yesterday (see my other thread)...

but I would keep your car, only thing I could see you wanting to upgrade is the FWD...honestly its a rare, beautiful, and very quick car. You have it paid off and all the mods you want...I would keep it if I were you until you really have enough money and economy looks good so as to not even have to ask if you should buy a 370Z or not.

I've learned that when we have something, we always want more and more b/c its so close money-wise, et cetera, et cetera: why I was about to buy your car! but in the big picture, see what you have, and enjoy it...more will come later. And like I said, if the decision truly makes perfect sense in your situation, you won't have to ask anyone if you should do it or not. wait for that right time.

Good luck on everything tho John, take care man.

 

Buy a saturn, If you lose your job they will make your car payments for the next nine months

 

I say let the CL go..... Pass it down and let someone else feel that Vtec power.......

 

Hey I'll sell you a Aura or a Vue!

 

smooth guys thanks I know I shouldn't be asking members on the forum upon my delimma decision. I thought about it earlier today at work so I'm probably gonna stick with CL-S. tough times are hitting everyone hard now and plus with the Trade-in or resale value what Fuzzy mentioned sucks ass. I'm probably gonna slap on the Stock dia UR crank pulley and HBP pulley maybe e-manage it. hopefully by 2015 things will pick up for everyone. my Lexus and toyota are the vehicles I use for work

 

yeah I see your point Luigi can't always take things for granted and be happy what you have. man those Nissan car salesman sure knows how to tempt people on those deals well maybe not quite of a deal

 

that's exactly what is holding me back on the Z. I feel you man....and plus with some of my regular customer who lost their jobs can't really spend chinese take out food anymore...

 

but only you know what you can afford with this economy so.............

 

i think you just answered your question. i think you should wait a while for the economy to get in a little better shape.

 

thanks hopefully business will pick up... I have only 58,500k miles on CL-S. I just started her up couple of hours ago I feel much better now

thank again guys for taking it easy on me this time...I'm sure all of you hear the same Topic "Should I Sell....." I just needed some light on this dilemma decision.
the Z forum didn't help at all.....

 

Keep it.

I got rid of my 01 ABP Type-S last summer and I regret it dearly.

Don't get me wrong, the new 370Z is one hell of a car (my friend's dad just got one), but I wouldn't get rid of a S/C CL with only 58,500 miles for one. Just imo though.

 

Only 58k! Def keep that one. There are so many nice cars coming out its hard to keep up. One always knows when the right time is to sell.

 

the 370 starts a 29k thats not bad.......

 

No! Hes staying with us! You cant have him!

 

:thief:

 

what he said.

 

keep it. the 370z is very nice but i think you'll miss the cl-s6.

 

man...just took her out for a drive and wow that "whine" really pulls (not driving it for about 6 months). probably I'll get the motor mounts fill with Polyurethane 60a and the crank pulley installed

 

lol probably down 5 years from now most definitely a nissan for my next car

 

I was looking for a badass coupe and acura is not in the market anymore.... The price was right so i had to......
