One thing I love about the ISF is its V8 sound. Pure sex!:tup:

Sorry for the off topic.:shakes head:

:tiphat: thank you sir for the kind words and thanks for verifying that I'm not 100% an àsshole, LOL
(Btw, I got return to sendered, send your address again, AND your last name! Lol)

Thanks? :roflpuke2:

Btw, Will, if I had to to it again, I'd do EXACTLY what you did:
7AT since it has the downshifts, then add EVERYTHING, like a real differential and whatever brakes I wanted and stuff like that.
I would've ended up with that same sport touring at the end of the day, just for less and a better diff

I more or less ended with a sport touring with nav because I got a great deal, and that's all I was looking for, a great deal

Sex times 12

I was at Starbucks with a friend, and a car roared from the unseen and I called ISF, and once it came closer, sure enough, I was right (maybe because I own one?) but it is quite unique too (and I had a WAI [warm air intake] that made it louder!!!)

I dont know yet, definitely has its own personality, and takes getting used to compared to other cars.

I could never lease a car. I would feel like I am getting into a RENTAL every time I opened the door. It would also drive me crazy to "always having a car payment". I haven't had a car payment in over 10 years -- paid cash for my last 5 car purchases.

To answer the question: No I do not regret purchasing my Z. I am seriously thinking that this is a car that I will never sell.

NO

No regrets, and i will never sell her. So glad she is my play toy and not my daily driver. :happydance:

Thankfully... Knock on wood. My 370z nor my score of Nissan/Infiniti vehicles has ever given me problems, I have a 7AT and love the shyt out that tranny. The car, with minor mods gives me the ride and braking I expect from a sports car.

It's very unfortunate that DEpoint and Red had the problems they had. DEpoint, I know what must frustrate you more than anything is the lack of support from the dealer to rectify the mentioned issues... I would probably feel similarly in your situation. But I have to say multiple nissan/infinti's owned and no issues. I've also owned a few cars from GM brands and mazda. Driven just about everything worth driving under $70k. The Z is a car I have so much respect for... I couldn't regret it if I wanted to. There's better cars out there but the Z has more character than most cars. Love my Z.

Agreed, except for paying cash for it. I have an 84mo. finance, but I'm content with it.



As for the ISF - I think the new one looks absolutely sick. The previous ones too. If I could afford one, I'd have thought about it, but I am thoroughly enjoying the Z.

No regrets
No complaint-worthy issues
No thoughts of ever selling

I <3 my Z :tup:

Sometimes I do. With the current economy, it would've been wiser to save as much as I can. So I get drunk and purchase car parts to make me feel better. It works every time.

perfect excuse to change from stock to a body kit :icon17: :tup:

+1 for hate the new IS-F look. I'd get an M3 over it.

I like to switch up cars every 3 or 4 years, would financing of been a better choice?

No... with financing you're paying extra money to eventually own it

Why would i want to own a car when I like to switch into something new and fresh every 3 years?

No regrets. Sometimes I think about what I should've done with my money instead of buying the Z, then I go for a drive and quickly forget.

The term you're looking for is lease. Not financing.

Lease = you return the car after X years
Finance = you pay to eventually own the car.

If you like to switch cars, stick with leasing. But I'm sure you already knew that.

Exactly, leasing is better for your situation

Completely different situations... that guy likes having no payments. He did not suggest financing to you because it doesn't make sense for you. Why would you ask this question when he didn't suggest you finance?

Do what you want man... xip wasn't trying to dog you. He was simply stating what you are obviously thinking, but instead you keep asking questions like a troll :ugh2: If you want car payments for years on end, great; enjoy your new cars :tup: I personally hate to lease cars and would rather buy used, but I understand why a lease makes sense for some people (my wife's Acura is a lease). To each their own :twocents:

Ended up getting rid of mine for a couple of reasons.

The first was reliability. ECU whining. Engine oil burning. VVEL control errors post-engine swap. Just didn't inspire much confidence.

The second was service. It was a constant battle to get a dealer (went to several) to acknowledge a problem. I understand this is usually the case everywhere, but it put a pretty sour taste in my mouth.

The third is Nissan corporate in general and the way they've handled (or not handled) this steering lock problem. The GTR gets a recall. Every other vehicle with the same part gets the cold shoulder.

It's not that they don't know a problem exists. They removed the lock from current models completely, yet they still charge people an arm and a leg for a "fix" rather than just owning up to the issue and issuing a recall to pull a stupid fuse.

I just can't support behavior like that. :/

Its what you want and what you enjoy.....
sometimes we just want a change
with my Z, I have had no major problems.
biggest complaint is the paint, and I need to do something about that....
I also have the habit of lightly hitting curbs....

None at all! Still loving it and I do drive mine every day. Have put 16k miles on it in less than 10 months. The steering lock issue was a blimp on the radar but it's all gravy now! My one hour drive into work m-f is not your ordinary commute. :tup:

Just want to clarify -- I am not trying to jump all over you for your decision. If you know you will switch to a new car every 3 years, I think leasing is your best option. It is not the best option for me.

It is YOUR money, spend it how you want to.

Certainly the Z is not a "Practical" car purchase by any stretch. I had to convince myself to make this purchase (which I am glad I did -- the extra cost of car ownership for the Z is worth it for the driving pleasure it gives me).

We all have to make choices on how to spend our money.

Well put Speed! But, Practical, Schmactical! If it's got 4 wheels, any car can be as practical as it's owner that uses it. I'll be stopping for groceries in my Z after work! Not only do I bring home the milk and bread, I also get my exercise because I park about a "mile" away from the entrance. Can't be too carefully with roaming carriages and careless people.
:tiphat:

:iagree:
I didn't know you sold your car actually!

And at the moment I'm having that dealer problem too vs back in Houston I could make up a problem and they'd ACTUALLY diagnose it, they even fixed problems that I didn't even know about!

And about the steering lock. It shows how shítty a company is to let that slide, BUT they did FINALLY recall it even though their solution is still a crappy one

Your always helping everyone with their Z's and giving them advice about mods and stuff about the car in general, but all of a sudden you regret buying the car?

He's helping them because he's had so much experience himself :ugh2: As far as I know, he's always complained about the car :icon17:

Here's the thing.
I like to think I'm not an ásshole, so I like to help out
I really enjoy the forum and 99% of it's members, so I like to help out
I really enjoy helping people fix their car problems because I like working on cars
And I really, REALLY enjoy making corporate, of any company lose just a bit more money.


And as I posted on another thread just 2 min ago:

Lol!!!

Hey, if someone wants a 370, I'll still give them advice, if someone is on the fence, I'll tell them to get something else

Maybe I have REALLY shítty luck
But at the same time there's this list of generic problems:
http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j1...0B1080FB3A.jpg

They didn't fix ANY of that on the 370Z

LOL!!!
I LOVED the car for the first 6 months... But for the past 7-8, I've HATED it...


And I have dealt with............ 15-20 Nissan dealershits in 2 years, called corporate 30+ times, I've helped people reclaim THOUSANDS of dollars from Corporate.

I've been around the Nissan block enough for a few lifetimes. So I KNOW the way they operate, I KNOW the way dealers can operate, and I make it KNOWN that if they play games, I fúck them back...

Yeah! He's de . 5 oh! Son !

And yours just says replica

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
TOTALLY RUINED THE QUOTE (FROM CAPTAIN CAPS LOCK)


"The fact that you've got 'replica' written down the side of your gun, and the fact that I've got, 'Desert Eagle, point five 0' written down the side of mine, should precipitate your balls into shrinking, along with your presence.
Now, Fùck off"

Crap I'm ways off lol

Didn't regret buying mine, but I definitely had some issues.

Should have got back up camera due to deadly blind spots when backing in a crowded area but other then that it is what i expected and more. Car has get a ticket quick speed 80 feels like 50 in this car i got to watch my foot and the speedometer.:driving:

I would love to have gotten a v8 m3, big that's not in the Z's price range. My only regret is not getting the nismo, mainly just for its styling.

Same. I don't regret it. I'm glad I owned the car. The issues just took away the enjoyment of the ride.

I hope the new Z is nice enough to bring me back.

The first 9 months I was in love. Then an old hag ran a red light and disfigured her face. I could no longer look at her in the same way as before. Call me superficial, call me an Ahole. Slowly the bond deteriorated and I chose to let her go for some cheap cash. But now I regret leaving her. She was still great inside. Hopefully in the future we will meet up again and she'll weigh 600 pounds less. We will be whole again

After bashing the z so hard yesterday I felt a little bad. Drove up to Venice beach , finally got more than 14mpg and the trip was very good. A bit of more appreciation today. This car makes me bipolar!

LOL!!! Same here
