Over the Miata, end up paying less than ~$190/month for 5 years

Pretty good idea, and good first car. According to my friends, I have no problem riding clutches, just ridding smooth off 1st so a beater isnt really neccesary (Miata). Plus I like roofs

What you guys thank?

What these guys said. That's a significant jump in maintenance and overall cost going from a NA Miata to a 350z. Considering that and if you've got the money to burn, I'd say yeah. $12k sounds about right. Just remember that the 350z is a Grand Touring car, meaning less harsh, less communicative, and more focus on comforts than a Miata.

Honestly I was looking at RX-8's prices just yesterday. Which is another high maintenance sports car.
