New Owner

RiCharlie · 10-18-2010, 07:13 PM

Hi

I just bought my first Nissan and its a 370.. I feel like a kid at Christmas time!! My wife cant understand it nor can she understand why I need a radar detector..But I am excited.. Previously I owned a honda accord coup.. 4 cyl.
I think this has a wee bit more power!
Got a really great deal on a leftover 2009.. that right.. 2009.. must be the last one in America!

Just thought I would join and see if I can make some new internet friends here.

Welcome aboard and congratulations on your new 370Z! The feeling you are experiencing is not uncommon and is shared by most if not all of us who are fortunate to own one. Again, welcome and enjoy the forum here, there is lots of good information and people willing to share.

Of course every time I buy a car I figure I got taken in some way but this time I got a 2009, no previous owner, 380 miles today,touring and sports package for 33,000. What do you think?

ThoriumHotdog · 10-18-2010, 07:43 PM

Congrats on the Z. I wouldn't mind finding a nice 2009 leftover. What color did you get? Take some pics!

RiCharlie · 10-18-2010, 07:50 PM

Its white and I will post some pics as photography is my hobby. Give me a while and I will post some pics that will really be good...Hopefully something really exceptional...
But I wont get the car until Friday at the earliest. So maybe next week or the week after..
PS this is going to be the longest week in my life!!

Congrats and welcome to the forum. Touring/Sport for 33k is a pretty good deal

RiCharlie · 10-18-2010, 08:41 PM

My wife has this foolish idea that I intend to break the 65 mph speeding limit and that is why I want a radar detector. How can I convince her that its just something to ensure I am not falsely accused???

Zaggeron · 10-18-2010, 09:34 PM

I haven't been married for a while now, but If I recall correctly, stuff like curtains and furniture tend to take a female's mind off her husband's new toys

Congtrats on the Z! I guess we're probably the last ones to buy a 2009 lolz. I woulda haggled on the price abit tho IMO..I got mine for 31k with 72 miles...but 33k is still a good price

ENJOY and be safe!

65. What about the other 3 1/2 gears?

congrats on the Z, just explain your wife that it's piece of mind of knowing ahead of time if their is a speed trap ahead. 2 detection will pay off the radar, so it's a good investment.

When I quoted the price of the car at 33 I was including sales tax and documentation fees and all the other stuff they throw in...

Congrats on the new Z!
