Default Second Z Roadster...First 370!

Hey guys,

I'm Dave...new to this board. Used to own a 2005 350Z Roadster a few years back. Moved into C6 Vettes for a few years (08 Coupe, 10 GS Coupe...amazing cars!), along with a couple Toyota Tacoma's for daily drivers, but decided it was time to back off the throttle (pun intended ) payment-wise for a little while and drop the stable back to a single vehicle.

The 350Z was always a fun car, so I decided to look into the 370s . Sat it one at a recent Auto Show in Charlotte and was surprised how much the interior had been improved since the 350 I had. Original plan was to hunt for a new one, but new manual Zs, especially roadsters are practically scarce around the CLT area.

Then I hit the jackpot...Found this really nice certified used 2010 Platinum Graphite Roadster Touring w/ Sport Pkg @ Modern Nissan up in Concord that was exactly what I had been looking for, even down to color and options! With the scarcity of manual roadsters, I figured what the heck...might as well enjoy someone else taking the depreciation hit for a change!

Here's a few pics:







Merry Christmas Everyone!

No surprise we all think its a sharp looking car

Our story is pretty similar. Hard to find everything you want in the car (Nav was up there on our gotta have list) and when we came across a barely used 2010 smurf well, only took a few hours of professional chatting with the sales manager until we drove home with it.

Given the low model numbers patience and assertion will pay off if you are shopping.
