Hi all,

I'm a new owner of the greatness that is 370z

I'm so happy with this purchase. I got it yesterday before the sales tax went up. I was hesitant at first especially during this tough time but decided to go anyway.

I drove 98 CRV for 6 years previously, so this is a huge huge jump.

After countless hours of research and negotiating, I finally landed a basic 7 speed auto - 370z (black). Initially I was going for the 6 speed manual, but was convinced that auto is the best way to go for me.

Welcome to the forums, another one from NorCal region

. Which dealer did you end up buying at?

StLRedrider · 04-01-2009, 11:11 PM

Congrats, we need some

I ended up buying from Tracy Nissan. It was a decent experience minus a few disappointments

Pics will follow soon after I wax my car this weekend

^Ahh, I live like 10mins away from them. Whenever I go get gas I drive by to see what Z's they have in stock

. Just wondering, were you able to get em down to invoice?

Rockstar · 04-05-2009, 12:18 AM

Close to invoice. I guess I could get it down even more but I was kinda rushing.. due to the increase in sales tax. I heard from a friend of mine today that Falore Nissan was willing to get it down to invoice.

pencilnink · 04-05-2009, 08:21 PM

Falore actually has a lot of 370z's in their lot, probably like 10 or so and ya they were willing to go invoice with me. Steven's Creek was willing to go invoice also.

Here's a pic of mine.
I got the base model but it's good enough for me

Welcome to the site!

Thanks.
I've been driving my old cars for the past 3 days and it's torturing me. Part of it because I want to keep the mileage n my 370z low . My distance commute everyday (roundtrip) is about 100 miles

StLRedrider · 04-09-2009, 05:13 PM

Congrats, very nice ride. Thats a good drive everyday. Wont take you long to break the Z in.

Rockstar · 04-10-2009, 01:00 AM

Thanks guys

Won't take long indeed, although I only drove only once this week.. try to get the mileage down as much as I can

My plan next week is to upgrade the audio and will post pic once its done

Looking forward to get rid of the base stereo.
