Hey Ya - New Owner

Got my new 370Z today.

Wasn’t the color I wanted. I wanted Black Cherry but Platinum Graphite (which I got) was my third choice behind Red.

Didn’t have the Sports Package which I did want.

Is a Roadster and not the Coupe I wanted.

Settled for a sitting 2010 as opposed to a 2011.

At least it is a 6 speed!

Basically I got what I think was a great deal on it. Drove 3.5 hours each way to pick it up today. While I wanted a Coupe, that was really more of a cost vs. “want” thing. At the deal I got, I’m very happy with a Roadster.

And while the items in the sports package will be missed, the minor items that can be picked up after market will be added soon. And the major ones (SynchroRev, Limited Slip and Brakes) won’t be missed as much since I don’t track my cars.

And as for the 2010 … I would have waited a few months and tried for a sitting 2011. But with the rumors or facts surrounding production being shut down for some period of time, I figured that will prop up the market value of the existing inventory somewhat. So I struck while I felt thei iron was hot.

So I’m just looking forward to having a Z again. Had a 2008 350Z way back in 2009

and things just fell in place to get back into one. Here’s a quick pick the dealer took while we were working though the sale via the phone.

Congratz, it's a beautiful car. I had a 2007 in the dark gray. Hope it works out.

Awesome!

But I have to ask why would you buy something that you don't like?

Didn't say I didn't like it. I'm saying that it wasn't what I expected I would end up with. Now that's it's done, I'm very happy with where I ended up.

I think you'll def love it more and more each day. I test drove a roadster before I even drove a coupe, and it was base...it still blew me away! It is kinda shitty having a roof over your head once you get used to a convertible...I just think it goes to show you there are no bad choices for the 370
