I buy cars for the long term.

Thing is, usually by the time warranty runs out, you can take the car someplace else and they will take good care of you. Both my 540s ran well past 250k with only minor issues ( and most of it was just inconvenient, not a real problem)

If you have a non-warranty issue during the warranty period, you pay through the nose on it. If you have any issue after warranty, you pay through the nose for it.

I'm not saying cheaper car companies are any more or less reliable, but when your cheap azz Fiord breaks down, it's a more survivable hit to the wallet.

Depends what it is I guess. I've found BMW to define their warranty very broadly. Best company I've dealt with on that front, but like all things, everyone experiences things differently.

MD is safer. Less guns. Only crooks have them.

I will admit, with the M3, it was extremely fun to drive. The straight 6 had a great sound, the smg shifted ultra quick, and the exhaust had a great note to it. But the issues like I mentioned a couple pages ago about the rear subframe tearing was a 4,000 dollar fix that stung pretty bad. My B7 S4 I owned had no issues except the horrendous gas mileage, and it was a little bland to drive. I am definitely sticking to this Z for awhile.

The Z is definitely going to be easier on the wallet. Aside from routine stuff it's mostly trouble free.

I'd like to make a plea to everyone who is on the forum in Virginia or Maryland to take advantage of the meetup.com site that Steve started this past summer. Not many of us are using it and I'm pretty sure Steve will probably stop spending the money to fund it should we continue to not utilize it. Its a way for the new Z owners to find us because they may not be aware of this forum. Mid-Atlantic 370Z Owner's Club (Fairfax, VA) - Meetup

Hope to see everyone who can make it to Fairfax this Saturday!

I have yet to make it out to a VA meet. Maybe one day... :P

I only go there if Dan's there :icon17:

I refuse to go to another FFX meet until Steve comes to an MD meet.
