Talking first time caller, long time etc. etc.

Hey Guys,

Greetings from the Jersey Shore. Just signed the papers on my Z yesterday. Tentatively picking it up tomorrow, depending on the weather in PA. Nearly finished going through all of the posts in general discussion. You guys rock, you've covered so much material, this place is an excellent resource.

She's a 2009 black auto Touring Sport without Nav. After getting quotes from over a dozen dealers, I accepted an offer of $1,700 below invoice. If anyone is interested in saving a buck on your purchase, just Google for fighting chance.

I reached out to AK370Z about chiming in with some questions that have previously been covered in existing threads, that I still have lingering questions on. Do you guys generally prefer reviving old threads?

Looking forward to meeting up with some of you in person and following up on some non-warranty-voiding mods (back-up camera among 'em).

Talking not soon enough

Thanks for your replies.

Brought her home yesterday. Fan-*******-tastic. Of course it had to snow and rain. The late rain mercifully removed most of the snow and dirt (read: salt). Had to wash the rims today. Still needs a bath. The dealership put a decent wax on her, she still has a good shine.

Awesome car. She handled and performed well on wet roads. Put some horror stories to rest.

fullmonty, near Red Bank. Have recently seen a pearl (if memory serves) 370Z on the way to work, which puts her in or around Freehold.

Must jump on the ClearBra bandwagon soon.

Thanks for the welcomes! She's an unbelievable car.

Sounds great martums. Congratulations . Please post some pictures

If you have to revive an old, that's totally fine. It's better than making a new thread on same topic. Good to have you with us here.

Cool this thread is useful with



I can't help it, these rims are insane. The first time I saw this car, it was like uncontrollably staring at boobs, a deer in the headlights, etc. I just couldn't even take my eyes off of them.

I agree...the stock 370z wheels are the most attractive IMO that Nissan or Datsun put out from the factory. congrats on the new addition!

How cool is that

I think she has a gray interior. I have got to find some threads about taking care of that leather. Thank goodness for Autopia and Meguiar's.
