How has your 370Z held up?

The rest is just nitpicky stuff that ANY car will have in one way or the other.

Anyway, total letdown today. There is only 1 car like what I want in the nation, and the dealership tried to trade for it but was told it was supposedly already sold:

Gun Metallic
2012
6M
NAV
Sport
Touring
Black interior

= Unobtainium

Yes, an R8 would be awesome, but a house would be nicer...same for the ZR1 except it's just a Z06 with a different drive-line, and I want something a bit "nicer" inside--where I spend all my time. This is a preference move based on a desire to increase the amount I throw in savings/other hobbies each month.

Forgive me if this has been answered but -- why don't you order one?

The dealership is trying to find one "in the process" already or something like that. If they cannot, they are going to see how long it would take to have one built. From what I understand, Nissan is not like Ford or GM, sometimes stuff takes...FOREVER. I'm a bit fuzzy on it myself.

I don't know how far your dealer is willing to go for your Z but here.

As far as what have you said. I'm not diggin into the archives to prove anything. N I'm not saying that as an insult. I just recall some convo's where my statement is correct. But even more than that. You are die hard fan of corvette performance. I think your long term assessment of our cars will be a valueable asset in the long run. What you said about the Z positive or negative isn't affecting or angering me. I'm just thinking you will be an interesting owner considering what you currently drive and what your many criticisms have been.
I do know you have also praised the car for price to performance and build quality. I'm not taking away what you admire at the least. But you have been very flip floppy as far as your overall assessment of the Z as a performance car.

That car is not what I want. It has no NAV system. There was only ONE car in the USA like what I wanted. That dealer says "it's sold". I'll just have to be patient.

I flip-flopped on the power aspect. The rest of my line has been that it's a very buttoned down little coupe with great looks and a $75K interior in a $40K priced vehicle. The oil-cooler fixed my other concern, and the brakes, well, I will cross that bridge if I get there. I doubt that, though.

I agree, I am interested to know how I feel in a year once I get it, too. However, I will love the extra $500/mo or so from less note/insurance.

I just realize that since I don't track my Z06, I'm not getting what I payed for. With the 370Z, that interior is going to enhance ownership experience a lot, vs. the Z06. The only time I will miss the Z06 is when power is an issue.

Or if someone calls it a girly-car. Then I will have a bad time and probably not eat my supper. You will hear about it when I get home and post up.
