Looking to upgrade!

Kyle R · 05-31-2011, 05:27 PM

Hey guys, some of you might know me from my350z.com or meguiarsonline.com, but I currently drive a 2006 black 350z. Within the next year I plan to upgrade to a used 370z sport or Lotus Elise/Exige. I am leaning more towards the 370z due to the fact that I drive a 350z currently and maintenance isn't as bad on the 370z as it is on the Lotus. If I end up with a 370z, I don't plan to do much to it when it comes to mods. Just tint, spacers, and exhaust. I currently have 44,000 miles on my Z, and would ideally like to get rid of it before I get 60k on the clock. I am the original owner of the car. Here are some pic's because I know thats what most of you want.

Thanks for looking!

Thanks! Don't get me wrong, I love black cars, but I think i'm going with white or red on my 370z. I need a color that looks "clean" or one that I can make the paint "pop"

Lotus is a great track car, not sure how it would be if used as a DD.

Thats what i'm worried about. Getting a lotus serviced isn't exactly an easy process either.

I think an Evora would be ok as a DD if you have a dealer in your city.

That paint is amazing - I need someone that can do that to my Z!

Even though I am in southern-most Virginia, Charlotte would be quite a ride. Do you have a detailing business?

I do detail cars. I basically learned everything I needed to know about clear coats and paintwork over the last few years and took advantage of the lack of knowledgable detailers in Charlotte, NC. I detail part time, work retail part time, and am a full time student at Winthrop University going for a Finance major. If you ever are in Charlotte or the surrounding areas, I would be happy to clean up your Z!

Nice Z, you do a great job taking care of it.

I hope the site helps in your decision!
