I learned about the oil heating up problem, etc...
I just graduated from university, Ph.D. in electrical engineering and I can finally afford to buy this car I have been lusting over for years!
Do you guys recommend that I get a new 2009 model (to save some money) or go for the 2010 model. What is your experience with driving this car in the city? I live in NJ and as you know it does get cold here, how bad is this car in the snow? I am thinking of getting the manual. Also, I have never seen a 370Z in the streets here!
Any advice would be much appreciated!

'09 is same as 2010. I bought the '09 and saved some money a few months ago but I hear you can even buy a 2010 close to invoice these days. Don't over pay. Excellent prices are available. Even drive a little to save a lot at a dealer an hour or two away. I wouldn't drive the Z in snow or ice. It can be dangerous. I have a winter car for that purpose. I have the automatic Z with paddle shifters to simulate a manual transmission. Ideal if you drive in the city a lot. I'm pleased with the car despite a few relatively minor nuisance issues bothering what appears to be a modest percentage of the units (not mine---yet, anyway). Plan on getting a clear bra, as the Z sits low, paint is said to be soft and it chips easily.
