Default WTB '10-'11 Touring Sport Roadster - Newb Needs Advice!

Looking to get into my first Z - loved the car since 350Z came out in '03.

I've driven many over the years - and thinking this is what I want - looking for advice on my choices, ideas and where to find:

--'10-'11 Roadster Touring Sport
--Like to stay $25k/40k miles or less (won't be a daily driver)
--Like all exterior colors but black
--Like the contrasting interior colors - persimmon is fav - also like lighter gray/wine - pretty much everything but black but could live with black
--Fav combo is probably silver or gun metal gray w/persimmon (hard to find)
--Not picky on 7AT vs. 6M - driven both and like both (paddles are fun!)
--Don't care about Nav (plenty of 3rd party options - including my phone)
--Will travel to pick up right car

Thoughts? Where to look? Am I gonna find one?

Thanks in advance - it's been fun watching this forum.

2010 was the first version of the Roadster

I know that didn't help much in your quest but thought it would help

Default Yup

Jwaite90 - that's EXACTLY the kind of deal I'm looking for - you have pics? Miles? Did you get inspected before you bought? (I'm a little leery of buying a lemon/money pit/car that's been raced/etc)

I'd love to spend $21k on 28k miles!

I inspected myself with the few years of car buying experience I have. I could tell right away that it was a weekend driven garage car. I even found golf tees in the trunk under that which was proof it had been driven by an old man golfer lol check out my profile for pic. I just had the windows tinted yesterday by a well known San Antonio guy I met from zsport. I will be posting new pic later today!

I have thought about selling mine.
Silver, touring, sport,nav, silver.
Never has seen a drop of rain much less a wet road..
Bought Nov 2009 has 6861 miles
Stays in garage under cover.
Will not find a scuff, scratch or anything inside or out
I will keep ur info and let you know if I do.
Trying not to get divorced but if it happens most likely will sell it.
Won't have a place to keep it like I do now

pearlwhite55 I have a really nice 2010 6sp manual with 19k miles black cherry roadster really clean and not driven rough. I got this car to use as a demo of the clear bra I was installing on cars,it is fully loaded with nav. It also has a transferable extended warranty I'm selling due to my son needing help.

Best of luck in your search. Roadsters may be harder to find, but I think you should be able to find one in the price range stated.
