Awesome saca, have fun with the purchase process and make sure to post pic of your ride

If you really want a 6mt then WAIT for a 6mt. I have heard sooooooo many people on and off this forum and others say they wish they would have waited for a 6mt. Dont settle or you are always gonna have the little voice in your head saying "dam I should have waited" As for the Sport Package its something that you could live with out and it probably wont bother you to much, but it is very much worth the price and unless you plan on putting bigger brakes (cause the base brakes stink) or bigger better tires (cause the base ones stink) a LSD (cause the optional LSD could be better, could you imagine what an open one is like) I say go with Sport

Argh don't buy an AT Z.

There were 4 or 5 6mt base+sport cars around the Bay Area a few weeks ago when I got mine. I was originally looking for a 6mt base+sport in white pearl but there were none in the western US supposedly. I liked gunmetal too and my local dealer (Sunnyvale Nissan) happened to have one ordered so I got that one. I found the dealers here were unwilling to give decent prices for vehicles they would have to ship in from far away dealers. If you expand your search you might be better off talking to those dealers directly rather than trying to get your local guys to bring it in. The guys at Sunnyvale Nissan were really great to deal with btw. Also, the sport package is a no-brainer. Don't settle for something you don't exactly want or it will bother you every time you look at it

So i went to Valencia Nissan this morning to inquire about the base 6mt 370z and ended up getting a great deal. The guys as Valencia Nissan are great! They really worked with me to get my payments exactly where I wanted them. Its a rather odd story because, they have the car that I bought in the mall across the street. I guess they are using it for advertisement or something. I will be taking delivery tomorrow morning after they drive it out of the mall and detail it. SUPER STOKED!

birdmanx1 · 07-15-2011, 09:21 PM

Congrats saca, PW Z looks fantastic. Have fun my friend

saca · 07-16-2011, 02:06 AM

Thanks guys! I'm extra excited and probably wont be able to sleep tonight. I decided to op for the base 370z for two reasons. It was manual and the price was best for my financial situation. I am a full time student and and tuition for a University is not cheap! I'll post more pics when I get her

Congrats to you saca. My advice though, since you opted not to get the sport pkg and you want to do light tracking. I would highly recommend ordering the nissan brake kit as an accessory. You won't find a better BBK for the price. Its around $1300 for front and rear. You can look on e bay for a used kit. Maybe runs around $900 used. I could be wrong as I haven't looked up the part in a long time. But last I checked it was around there.

Good luck and be safe in ya new whip.
