Pulled the trigger last night

steveg78 · 03-03-2010, 01:08 PM

FINALLY. After a disappointing search last spring/summer, I was able to locate the exact Z I wanted and it wasn't 1,000 miles away. I was able to get $1,500 below invoice which was better than the VPP pricing. The negotiation process took less than 5 minutes thanks to the info I already knew from this site and a car salesman that wanted to sell a car to someone who walked-in ready to buy. I know people are going to ask for pics but I haven't had the chance yet as it's been nasty weather

But you already know what they look like!

Rain/snow mix this morning meant I had to leave her home

And damn that 1-2 shift is going to take some getting used to!!!

Screw the snow, do some donuts!

Grats on finally getting your Z man.

steveg78 · 03-03-2010, 01:26 PM

hahahaha not fun at all. I had a 90 300ZX back in the day and I called that car a casket when it came to driving in the snow. Plus having to get re-acclimated to manual trans has me on edge as it is!

Congratulations on getting the Z you wanted!

Jeffblue · 03-03-2010, 05:16 PM

yea if you just got it... then it has summer tires if you got sport or all seasons if you didn't. Summer tires in snow is never a good idea. All seasons on a powerful RWD car in the snow.... not so good either.

Congrats!

Yeah I'm hoping the weather starts to shape up. Looks like I wont be driving her to work tomorrow again

Maybe Friday. I'm in middlesex co. Not many around here still. Kinda surprised since they've been out for over a year.

fairladyZ34 · 03-03-2010, 11:08 PM

i know i never see any 370z's. the camaros and mustangs are more popular aroung here. there are 3 others i know of that are close to me. one is someone from my neighborhood and he has a black one too lol, another is blue and lives in my town and the third is red and goes to mercer county community college with me.

I'm pretty much all over the place between traveling up north in Bergen co. Work in Monmouth Co. and home in Middlesex. I'm bound to see someone around.

Actually, I just noticed there's a guy in my apt development with North Carolina plates with what looks like a base PG with some black aftermarket spoke wheels. Don't know if he frequents this board or not.
