Almost a new owner! Greenville, SC

Gadgetech · 11-09-2013, 05:57 PM

I have a deal before me to purchase a MT 2014 base model with the sport package, rearview backup mirror and a couple other miscellaneous options like floor mats etc.

I'm coming from a Pathfinder and before I completed the deal I asked that I be allowed to take the car home over the weekend to try it out. My wife and I do not have any kids but with the 370 that'll be two small cars and we've always had an SUV of one sort or another.

I've wanted a Z car since they brought them back out several years ago, call it a mid-life crisis but I think I'm going to do this deal as a celebration of my last year in my 40s...LOL That's just an excuse where none is needed, y'all know what it's like to own one and I want to experience that too...just have to be sure.

Any thoughts?

I'm trading mine in a few months, I came from the Infiniti G sedan. I thought i could live with the tight quarters but oh my goodness. 5'9 and 152lbs, but I travel alot and carry alot of gear. amazingly fun to drive and looks ridiculously sexy but I have got to have more space. waiting for 2014 M4 or rS5, still want a coupe just one with a backseat. I wish I would have done what you did, take it home for a weekend. Very smart. Best wishes on your decision, welcome to the family.

Today is the day to do the deal! After tooling around in the car this last weekend, I'm loving it! In my mind I feel better about the deal b/c I had some time to think about it but I'm sold 110%...and the wife has either warmed up to it or accepted it, not sure which one but I'm not asking questions.

Good luck and hope all goes well today.

Gadgetech · 11-11-2013, 07:27 PM

Deal done and I'm a happy camper! I guess my Mustang project is going to become the DD b/c I'm not ready to leave this baby parked outside! I'll get a picture posted someday.

Congrats on the purchase and as they say, "happy wife, happy life". You won't regret your decision...

Gadgetech · 11-13-2013, 06:13 PM

My biggest regret so far is that I haven't had much time to drive this thing other than to work! I've got to go out of town Friday and won't be back until next Wednesday night...ugh.
