My love for the Z never died even know I didn't own one.

I purchased a 350Z, had it about a year but sold it because I didn't want to pay high payments knowing the 370Z was dropping in a couple years which afforded me the luxury of purchasing a 300ZX to drive around in for a couple years.

It was a true gem, 1995 300ZX with 35,000 original miles when I bought it, I planned to purchase a 370Z down the line (April was my target date) but when I found a good deal, I just pulled the trigger and on 11/12/09 the rest is history!

ps - my beautiful 300ZX will remain my avy, I thought about keeping her but it didn't make any sense...I will miss you darling!

Thats a beautiful ride! I don't know if I would have been able to let it go. I'd love to find a nice 300ZX to own as a project car!

thank you trust me, I woke up came to work and saw a deal on a 370Z so I did it, wasn't planned at all, had I planned the purchase chances are I would have thought a little harder.

If it wasn't for me having a half day the Friday I bought my car, I might not even own a 370Z yet, funny how things work out.

Yeah that is pretty funny but I'm sure the 370 will keep your mind off the 300. Either way their both great cars! I guess I'm just greedy because I'd want both, lol.

yeah I would def love to have a cover on it and just break it out in the summer but down the road, i'll buy another Z32 and just have it. It was amazing how many people in their 40/50's would come up and talk to me about my 300ZX, I guess they were the prime buyers when they were new so they have found memories, everyone had a 300ZX story for me. It was actually pretty cool but the 370Z def. turns heads.

I love that fact it's limited compared to the 350Z

My story is that I've always liked sports cars and the Z in particular. My uncle used to own a yellow 1970 240Z, I remember that I really loved that car and told him I would buy it if he ever sold it. Sadly, it caught fire and was a total loss sometime in the late 90's.

I really liked the 300ZX (like Areyouin729's - awesome looking car btw) but the SUV had killed the Japanese sports car by the time I was able to buy my first new car. I settled on buying a used Subaru Legacy, then the '02 Impreza WRX's came to the U.S. and I had my first new car. Nissan released the 350Z the following year and I figured that would be my next car. The Subaru was getting a little long in the tooth and the proposition of high mileage turbo car maintenance scared me a little, so I decided to replace it around 2007, I was going to buy an '07 or '08 350Z. Those plans got put on hold for a year as I relocated to California for work. Once I came back home, I saw the 370Z and was ready and bought mine in July.

My story started when i wanted to buy my own car. my dad bought me a jeep wrangler when i turned 16. (im 18 now) I wanted a car but really didnt like anything that was on the market. I looked at evo's, wrx's, and mustangs. then i saw a blue 370 at the dealership and i was sold. my dad cosigned on the loan and bit bat boom im in a z.
