Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post

Guys,
I am new to this forum and need some advice.
My name is Neil I live in Malaysia (I am from the UK). I am 55 years old 6’3” 235 lbs and work in the Oil industry in Nigeria.
One month ago I put a deposit down on a 2008 Nissan GTR and plan to pay for it and pick it up when I get home next week. The cost of the GTR is US$120k
Up and until yesterday I was really excited about getting my new car but for some reason yesterday I started to get this niggled feeling about the age of the GTR and am I doing the right thing in paying 120 grand for a 4 year old car.
The car is in mint condition with 9k kilometers on it and the garage where I am buying the car from is allowing me to take the car to the Nissan dealership in KL to have it inspected before I pay for it.
What I am thinking now is should I forget the GTR (loose 1k deposit) and just buy a new 370z for the same price $120k. I did sit in a 350z 4 years ago and I didn’t feel comfortable in it as the cabin felt very small, I have yet to sit in a 370Z but my gut feeling is that it will be a similar size.
I just worry that with the GTR being 4 years old it is going to cost me a fortune to keep it on the road, especially as whoever had the GTR before me would not have been driving it around town at 30 mph JJ
Any advice tips would be much appreciated
