8 year car loans!

But yea, for me, when I get a GR86, the trade-in, plus 5K cash should get my 3 year car loan to around $350/mo. or less.

Not too bad, in my opinion, considering my FR-S loan was 6 years.

Moving up to a $40K~45K car would require either stretching the loan to 6 or 7 years with the same money down and more interest, or putting down nearly 15K in cash instead for a 3 year loan. Not to mention all of the extra tax. Also, the 400Z won't fit my mountain bike.

So yea, for me, going to the 400Z is an order of magnitude greater investment that I don't see a worth it. Sure, 400hp is nice, but I barely have room to go full throttle in the FRS with 200hp.
