Thumbs down From TL-RL- ?? G35 maybe

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok guys i spoke previously about trading out the RL- TL-S....But there was no luck because my mom doesnt want me to pull out a loan for that much because i am still in school. I said pleaseee.....But i work and pay out the loan but I need her for the insurance so she has the final say. I miss the sporty and fast "rice" lol car. So i was looking for a lower loan and get maybe a G35 2005 or a 350Z. I need to stay atleast $20K to keep my payments lower. I might just leave the Acura family But a G35/350Z coupe is nice and fits me! What do you guys think? Any other cars i could look at.

I am trying to get the 350Z coupe for about 15000$ and the G35 for $17000. I dont think it is a financial hit since my monthly payments will decrease

How long have you had the RL? Why not just keep it?

I had the RL for about a week. Its not sporty for me...It is a very nice car, but not that sporty for me. I had a TL that was very very sporty compared to it. So i want to get back to sporty and eventually lower the montly payments

A week? Trading it might be a record. Is it still too late to get the TL back?

Hmm .. you have it for a week and already wanted to trade for another one ? Did you not test drive the RL before you bought it ?

Umm i did testdrive the car just that i needed to get out of the TL and i did at my job because they gave me a high value for it. My TL been hit horribly so yeah....The RL put me in a better situation when trading. I was upside down 7000$ on the TL. On the RL i am about 1500$ upside down. I traded for a reason. Now i want to get out.....I miss that sportyness!

Meh.

Dad had the mazda3 but wanted navi. So him and my mom traded... dad drove her 07 tsx for a week and my mom drove the Mazda.

Now my dad doesnt want the TSX since he says he cant get use to it. He wants his RL back. My mom doesnt want to give up the Mazda since she says its easier to drive than the TSX.

Soo...yea im sick of it all.

So you get the TSX? Sounds like a fair deal. At least its good on gas.

Here's our honest advice. Keep the RL. Mod it. But you've only had the car for a week, and you'd be more upside down transferring that negative balance to the new loan. Plus, the "new to you" car might have higher insurance because as seen by the insurance industry, the new cars are riskier, hence raising the insurance costs.

Stay in school, keep the car, be happy that you have such a nice car at your age, and study hard!
Or better yet, I have an Accord that probably is faster than the RL. We can straight-up trade if you want!

Yes but theres no easy way to swap the names on the loans, is there?. TSX is under my mommys and the Mazda3 is under mine. No biggie i suppose.

TSX is a great car and good deal so i might just run with it.

Just wished it wasnt glacier blue. Any way i can make it somewhat manly looking?

Mod the suspension, preferably with the A-Spec setup. Don't take a depreciation hit. Keep the RL, its a nice car.

And change your major, doesn't suit you at all

Does your mom pay for the insurance or you just on her policy?

If you pay the insurance then what you save in payments by trading in wont matter since your insurance will increase.

19 with a 350z cant be cheap to insure. Plus the increase in fuel..
