My New Roadster

vifferman · 06-15-2010, 04:13 PM

Been lurking here since last fall, trying to make a decision re: the 370z...coupe or roadster?; manual or automatic? et al. Finally decided over the winter months that I wanted an auto roadster, but health issues delayed any action. Then, feeling better in May - saw that my dealer had a Platinum Graphite roadster in stock (my preferred color). Went for a look, but walked away due to the $48,190 sticker, and a number of options I didn't really want. Went back a week later, took a test drive; and signed on the dotted line "at invoice." What the heck - we only live once, and I'm 62 years of age.

Platinum Graphite over Black; with 7-speed auto, touring & sport packages, navigation, floor mats, trunk mat, splash guards and illuminated kickplates.

I think I'm in love again.

Good move! You won't regret it. Welcome to the Forum.

Yep you only live once! Definitely a good move getting the ZR . Lol you probably have about 10 years to enjoy this roadster. When I got this ZR my 72 year old neighbour came over to check out this sexy beast and had a hard time getting into the passenger seat of my ZR due to his arthritic knees/hips !
