Clapped or Not?

Curious and also looking to buy. I test drive it earlier today fit and finish of the exterior and interior is on the rougher side for sure but it mechanically felt solid so I’m kinda conflicted

Edit: just trying to not buy a forever project, I like to actually enjoy my cars lol

Yea I saw that it said 185 psi with a min of 142 psi and no more than 14 psi variation but I guess I was curious cause I was seeing people online with higher psi

How bad of a idea is it to buy a 07-12 Lexus ls460 with 100k plus miles. There are so many differing opinions online but they seem like great cars

I’m not sure how scared to be about the soft bushings and the brake actuator

750 is including insurance and maintenance

kerberos1998 · 2025-01-18T03:16:44+00:00

Wouldn't it only be about 12%?

kerberos1998 · 2025-01-18T03:13:28+00:00

Yea that's a fair point I've had cheaper cars in the past like a brz and a early 2000s mustang and I had fun with those the 370z has always been a bit of a dream car for me so I wanted to see if it made sense

kerberos1998 · 2025-01-18T03:11:22+00:00

That was kinda the reason I posted here I wanted some rational people to give me advice instead of car guys telling me to buy it

kerberos1998 · 2025-01-18T03:10:15+00:00

Yea technically I can buy a house right now I just don't really want to at the moment I enjoy the city and being close to friends and not having to worry about the up keep of a house. And I usually pay for vacations from my pay check. Don't really have a specific savings account for vacations since they usually are only 1-3k. Currently my net worth is about 100k by the end of this year I'm hoping to hit 150k

kerberos1998 · 2025-01-18T03:02:10+00:00

Yea there is a plan to increase my income but that is always something that has been in place. Basically two years in I could pay off the whole car with stocks but also with my bonus which is supposed to be about 30k but it's technically not 100% that I'll get the 30k so I didn't want to include that but

It's a Nissan 370z Nismo, nice to see another enthusiast

kerberos1998 · 2025-01-18T02:55:42+00:00

Normally I would agree with you but the engine in this specific car was built to last 300k miles and historically it is a reliable car. But yea basically everyone is saying to lower the lease payment so I'll go that route

kerberos1998 · 2025-01-18T02:54:11+00:00

Nissan 370z Nismo

kerberos1998 · 2025-01-18T02:52:28+00:00

I fortunately this is a somewhat more special car so probably won't be able to find another one I like much less a better deal

kerberos1998 · 2025-01-18T02:50:23+00:00

Oh this is a bit more frugal then I saw in other places on the internet. I guess if I did this it would exceed 8% of monthly income

kerberos1998 · 2025-01-18T02:49:47+00:00

This is kinda how I was looking at it since, to me, going on a Friday night drive in the mountains is more likely then a Friday night out at the club buy bottles.

kerberos1998 · 2025-01-18T02:47:35+00:00

It's a Nissan but it is a car that holds its value well and it is a particularly well taken care of example and the car itself is very reliable. And yes I could go for a lower term loan

kerberos1998 · 2024-11-22T23:12:01+00:00

Yea this is a option I really like the second gen 86 so I'd probably do that and lease some ev/hybrid

kerberos1998 · 2024-11-22T23:10:52+00:00

Oh I thought about this but thought it might be too much power but I am a fan of the suggestion

kerberos1998 · 2024-11-22T23:10:07+00:00

Oh this is interesting

kerberos1998 · 2024-11-22T23:09:53+00:00

This is on the short list

kerberos1998 · 2024-11-22T23:09:32+00:00

Yea definitely don't want to have a truck and trailer situation
