I agree with poster 2, the Accord makes alot more sense in the long run and will be more useful and less expensive to maintain. Both cars are worth about the same and will hold their value, but the sportcar will mostly require more repairs, burn more gas (definitely) and also cost you more in insurance then the Accord. Since the Accord is much newer it likely still has some warranty and won't need as much costly maintenance as the Z350 will. However, if you can afford it and its really the car you want now is the time to get your dream car. If you wait you might find yourself married with kids and it would be impossible to own a sportscar then.
