My wife said no!

Point well taken. If the Fusz Dealership can beat the local deal, and make it worth my while to drive across state, then I am going to buy the car. But, if it is not worth it, I'll wait. So far, and I'm afraid of getting "gonged" for saying this, no one has mentioned a good slightly used 350Z. Guess the performance gap is too great but I don't know.

Inspector71 · 09-18-2009, 12:03 PM

Great advice. I am still fighting the rising excitement that your posts are fueling. I bought a new RX7 in 86 and the Pathfinder in 2006. That is it. Now I am ready for a more modern sportscar. Believe me, you folks will be the first to know. Mr. Fusz III asked me to say hello and said you all are great people to learn from. NO question about that.

Caravanshaka · 09-18-2009, 12:03 PM

the 350 is still a Z, and a fantastic car...but IMO it's not on the same level as the 370...however I had an '04 350 so I never drove the HR.

nogoodname · 09-18-2009, 12:05 PM

why would you get a used 350z, i bet if you buy one... you will regret it

kdo2milger · 09-18-2009, 12:50 PM

Heres the break in advice from the owners manual...probably not what you want to here...

Inspector71 · 09-18-2009, 02:12 PM

That is some great advice. I couldn't agree more. I tend to keep cars a long time. In fact, and I have to say "if" because I don't want to get my hopes dashed, get the car, I will keep it a long time. So, I am going with what you wrote. One dealer tried to talk me into a like new used 350. I drove the 370Z and the first thing I said to a friend was "night and day difference between the Z and my Rx7 or what I was used to...awesome car." Thanks for the perspective.

I am kind of new to all this stuff but who is the guy you use for an avatar? I need to get some massive forearms like that guy!

^ Average ownership is usually 8 years on cars.

Well we're all rooting for you. Best of luck.

Inspector71, by what you're saying, it seems to me that you keep your car for awhile...so in that case, I would get the latest and greatest...in 20 years, if you still have this car, you are still one generation ahead and "less" outdated technology...now if you're looking for a car to keep for 2-3 years like me, then I would get a 350Z now, and then trade it in for a 370Z at that time and the car will still be current in 2-3 years...

nurburgring · 09-18-2009, 06:56 PM
