Loving my new 370Z
 
Bought my first Z (370) this past August and WOW what a car.I first fell for the Z back in 1972 when two shop teachers at my high school both bought 240s. Just kept looking at Zs for all these years. Finally with both kids out of college it was time for me.After a few weeks of prepping my wife for this drastic departure from Volvos ( and a "03 Accord coupe that I had seriously modified) went to my lacal Nissan dealer and got my dream car.
She's an '09 leftover in Monterey blue,7 speed auto, Sport package , illuminated kick plates, splash guards and the best thing was the price. The sticker said 37700.00 and I got it for 28000.00 ( she had 900 test miles on her). If I had to wait 40 years to get a Z, then this car was well worth the wait.
The only down side is how useless the car is on snow and lately I've only been able to take her out in between snowstorms ( good thing the missus still has her XC70 AWD Volvo).
This is my first true sports car and is well worth the wait.

I'm in Middlesex county. That's another thing that I love about this car, it's relative scarcity.I read that the total '09 sales was just over 13k cars in the US.

Wow - leftover? Sold to you as a new car (warranty starts on the bill of sale)? If so - nice!

Congratulations,

I feel your pain. I picked up my New 2010 6 speed Touring Coupe this past Wednesday the 19th and got stuck in the driveway. Car now only has 24 miles on it! Since it was the middle of winter and who buys a rear wheel drive sports car then, I was able to negotiate the price down to $31K + tax out the door. Sticker was $36,163.00. The car had it's entire life in the showroom! Build date was 07/2010. My wife and I will try to get it out today for a short spin before the Jets game tonight. Lucky I am keeping the 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee I bought new in 2000. Still looks and runs like new after 198,000 miles on it.

72... same year my dad had. He said they were high priced at that time also. But he wish he still had. He still has the shop manual for it. Also welcome.

It's another lovely snowy day here in central Jersey. We're expecting about another 12"" by tomorrow. Barring any more snow over the weekend I just might be able to get the Z out mid next week. At least I work from home and I can go to my garage and stare at her.
Anyone put R2C intakes on their Z?
