'10 Roadster for my '09 Coupe.....opinions needed!

JohnsZ · 06-24-2013, 10:48 AM

Hey guys....I've been thinking lately of trading my '09 Touring Coupe for a 370Z Roadster if I ever came across one that had everything I wanted in it. As luck would have it, a local Nissan dealer has a 2010, Pearl White Touring Z Roadster with Navigation, one owner, clean fax and it is Certified. The only thing that is making me hesitate even checking it out further is that it has 50K miles. My Z has 33K. They are asking just under $28K for there's. My Z is listed at around $23K KBB. My Z is in mint condition and from the pics, their's looks mint too. I've always appreciated and taken into consideration your opinions to all my Z questions to you guys in the past and am once again asking for your views on this. Thanks!

Keep in mind the roadster is heavier. And your colour is rare.

You are either a roadster/convertible person or you aren't. If you think it's cool to be able to drop your top once in a while, you aren't. If every time you leave the house the top goes down no matter how hot or cold (above 45 degrees), then you are. My top is always down. The fact that you even bought a coupe may suggest you aren't a convertible guy. The coupe was never a consideration for me and this is my fourth roadster/convertible.

In the past, I've owned 2 350Z Roadsters and now the 370Z Roadster and this is by far my favorite. It does weigh a little more and you will hear the road a little more, but on a nice morning jetting along with the top down, you'll realize it's worth it. At least it is to me.

Thanks and you're right! Getting rid of my Yellow was another thing I'm grappling with!

You made an excellent point! Thanks!
