370Z Takes on Genesis Coupe 3.8 Track

FromG2Z

To address your question, since you yourself were the one that just "had" to tell your Mitsu purchase story on the OP's thread, I quote this from you:
"I laughed and said Chris... I guarantee you that I will get 0% interest on this car... and he says " well well, how are you going to do that"? and then I said, BECAUSE MY FAMILY IS FILTHY FU*KING RICH YOU MORON" ... literally yelling it into the phone."


After a response like that, and putting in on a public forum for all the world to see? Sorry, but I don't NEED to know what you do, nor do I really care for that matter. Your response speaks volumes.

I find it amusing that anyone that calls you out for the tone and content by which you speak is assumed to be "jealous" of you? .... sigh....

I also find it laughable that folks who feel they are "rich" or "have more money than anyone" and that "everyone else is just jealous", needs to blurt it out in context on a public forum, and somehow have to embed their story in a so-called response to the OP, just to get their kicks. Again, hilarious.

It's all kindda sad and pathetic too.

well luckily I don't care what you think enough because i'm better than you.

Now... OP AGAIN, i'm sorry that others are hijacking the thread over and over.. I didn't intend for that to be the issue. I am curious if you did wind up making any deal or if they got closer to your number?

I was close to buying a 40th anniversary edition before I got mine. I just felt like I would be TO particular about it. I also am not really a grey person.. it's not a bad grey since it is dark, but I just liked the white better and didn't care if it was a special edition or not. I said that because I was curious if you had come across any of these during your searches for Z's?

just on the money note. Financing a car is not a bad idea if the rate is right . I borrowed the full 78000 for my FX50S at 0.9%. Did I have the money in the bank to buy it outright? YES!. But even a TFSA will net me 3.5%. So if i bought it outright I would actually loose interest money. Make sence to you poor people? Never spend your own money when you can spend someone elses and keep yours working for ya

Boys boys boys, to those who want to jump to conclusions, my point was simply that to someone who is, and I quote, "filthy f*cking rich," the interest earned over the loan period on a ~$40k car wouldn't even be noticeable. Shumby, since you threw yourself in the conversation, you must be maxed out dropping $78k on a car if you would be that financially impacted by lost interest. OP, I too am sorry for thread jacking, I just felt the need to call a tool out and things got a little out of hand.

Man I wish I could help you out with all of your questions, but i've only gotten 1500 miles on my 11'. I like to just do normal driving for the first 1000 miles and get start to get on the car a little bit more up to 1500 where I change the car's oil over to AMSoil.. It's ALL I use in my car. It's shown to beat every other oil out there, but that's a whole different debate in itself. It's what I like and that's all that matters.

Finding an 09 with that low of miles is pretty awesome though... especially in blue... great color. I wish I would have been able to find one, but I love my pearl white too so no worries.

As far as being reliable.. i'm a firm believer that any engine that is well taken care of will last a long time.

Hmmm, I was hoping some folks could comment on the reliability and durability of their cars. Guess you guys must be too busy driving them with the nice summer weather!

Speaking of summer weather, anybody else think it's strange that Nissan doesn't offer a sunroof on the 370Z? Weight? Please, the car is already porker.

280z/300zx

My previous 09 was an early build date, so one of the first few months built. Had the car for almost 2 years and a total of 6500 miles. Never had an overheat issue or used a drop of oil. Temps stayed consistantly at 220 in Vegas 110+ degree weather. Temps stayed at 190-200 in the winter. On the days I took it to the strip or auto-x it usually would go up to 240-250 and as soon as the run was over it would drop back down to 220. Again, never used oil, but I only did 2 oil changes on it

My 2010 Nismo hasn't used any oil either. Had the car about 8mo now and 8k miles on it. Temps seem to run about the same as my 09 did. The only thing I did notice differently is that on my last trip to Calif. the temps did go up to about 24-250 while going up Baker hill. This is a common area for cars to overheat in the summer as you change elevation by something like 2000ft. My previous 09 never had a problem but my 2010 seems to not like this hill much.

With both cars I've never hit limp mode. The engine temp issues seems to be hit and miss with people on the board. Some people have had issues but I'd say 90% of owners haven't. I know you don't plan to track your car so chances are you will never have a problem. It should be mentioned that the 350z had the same issues but it was never made a big deal because there wasn't an oil temp gauge in the car. Since the 370z has one everyone can monitor it and it's become much more public.

As for the price of the 09 I don't think 27k is bad personally. I see where they feel they have an almost brand new car and therefore want top dollar but in this economy why pay top dollar. Explain to them that you can get a brand new 2011 for not much more. Another good point is if you bought the 09 for 30k and were to then turn around and trade it in or sell privately you would be hard pressed to get 30k for it. Most 09's seem to get about 23-25k in trade and sell privately for 27-28k. Try talking to them about it more and if still no deal let it sit. Check back in a few weeks and see if they are willing to change their tune.

find a modern car that is not 3000lbs+, this is not 1985, 3300lbs is light in this market at this age
