Default Selling my car & Buying another

I suppose this is where I post this.

I've really been contemplating selling my car (2004 G35c 6MT) for something a little less pricey.

I don't owe much on it and my payments are reasonable but I've been thinking about getting rid of it. 1) to rid myself of any car payments 2) cheaper on gas 3) less expensive to replace parts on

No I love my car, haven't done much to it except a cat back and a cold air intake. I don't really drive it hard or anything like that. I was thinking about selling it and buying something a little bit older like an Acura Integra or something of that nature. I'm kinda of the coupe life style...i hate not having any room for anything...I could sell my car and buy something like that and not owe anything on it...

what do you think?

Slap yourself for wanting to get rid of a G35 for an Integra. No offense.

yes please do....2ce on each cheek

at very least stay with Nissan. Integra does not have much more room then the G...and if you want a hatchback get an S13.

either way its a downgrade and doubt you will be happy especially if you are an enthusiast driver.
come on payments cant be that bad. you got style, power, comfort...wtf do you need more room for, hauling bricks?

ha i dunno. I'm just looking at it down the road. I'm out of my race and show days. Not that I did anything to the G, I was mainly thinking along the lines of being able to save money down the road. I can save $400 a month on a payment, I can save tons on gas. I wouldn't be doing anything to the integra...just keep it mainly stock maybe some rims but thats about it. Idk...

To the OP: If you're considering selling to save money, do it. If the $400 isn't a big deal and you think you may be unhappy with an older car, keep the G35. Ultimately you have have to be happy with your decision. Do what makes you and your wallet happy.

I have to agree with Brock, especially since you say you're not racing. Going from a nice, comparatively torquey RWD coupe to a economy hatchback seems like it would be a pretty drastic change.

I'd consider an older Miata or other inexpensive roadster, maybe a used RWD Lexus or a late 90's BMW.
