Yeah, if you know basic finance, a brand new car is never worth the price. The moment you drive it off the lot, the car starts to depreciate and the car’s value typically decreases 30% by the end of the first year and in five years it can lose 60% or more of its initial value. This only matters if you are thinking about selling, or trading it in. But yall do you!.

My only regret is, after 1300 mi, still the steering wheel rim is too skinny! I'm used to beefier BMWs and even the Tesla.

But, after seeing the Z at dealerships and car show displays for months after they came out, then driving it, I love how refined it is to drive. Totally worth the price of admission for me. The slightly notchy shifter is perfect, has that mechanical feel to it. Interior gets a little boomy but heck it's a sports car. One of the last analog manual sports cars.

No regrets here, test drove BMW M2, C8, and BMW Supra. Those other sports all had something missing. The Z checked all the boxes. It is not my daily, it’s more of a garage queen for Cars and Coffee. In my opinion the best for the money, shop around and get a good deal.

It's the rarity of our Zs that still gets looks at Cars & Coffee, same in my area, which is cool and will stay that way. OTOH not a rarity at club meets though, more and more RZ34s presented locally. I'm with GroupZ.
