Default Sold My Copperhead Accord...

Well after 4 and a half years with my '99 Accord I sold it last week. This was my first vehicle I got at 16 years of age and spent thousands of dollars modifying it. In reality, I just "grew out" of the car. A guy saw it on Autotrader and his "grandma" bought it the next day. He is 18yo and doesnt even have his license yet!!!! Being almost 21 years old now I need something a little more subtle and luxurious. Im either getting an 06-07 G35 coupe or an 05-07 350z. I'm leaning toward the G35 though... I currently am DDing my '96 240sx and have recently bought 2 Porsche 944's. One is an '84 and the other an '86. Just some projects to keep work on in my spare time. I may stop by and check in with everyone every now and then...

Here are a few pics of the Accord before I sold it:

sad to see it go, but looks like you have moved on to bigger and better things. My vote is for a G35 over a 350z.

G37S boyyyyeeee!!!
My step mom has a black G37S which I have driven numerous times... To be honest, i dont like the body styling. The G35 looks waaay more sleek and the lines are a lot simpler and clean. I dont like the headlight or taillight design on the G37, it is a beast to drive though(330hp). Plus I don't feel like laying down $35,000 on a G. Im looking at $22,500 tops. My dad is a car dealer so we can go to auctions and by them at wholesale prices which helps.

I mainly want a G35 because I rarely see them around. I see a 350z every 10 minutes in my town.

Im kinda weighting the advantages and disadvantages of both

G35:
- luxurious
- less "common" than a 350z
- back seat
- more practical for trips, long drives
- classier interior

350z:
- lighter = faster
- sportier look
- same engine, drivetrain, suspension as G35
- VQ35HR motor in '07 and up models
- better handling because of less weight

Nah, i can't see myself paying $23,000 for a 15 year old Acura. Once u get past the '96 models the price shoots upward of $40,000. Plus replacing anything major motor wise or tranny wise would take major $$$$. The main reason is the fact that it is a 15 year old car
