Just stopping in say hi. My name is Jim and although I don't have a 370 yet, I have begun the search. The gut tells me I'll have one within a month or so.

Right now I have my sights on a 2012 Black Cherry beast with 20k miles. Pictures look great and I'll get more info tomorrow.

Stay tuned...

Nice! Looking forward to see your good news. I was super excited the days before picking mine up. I suggest getting a sport package at the minimum, you will be much happier.

Tell me about this sport package? I'm still relatively ignorant in the ways of the Z. Buying used has me limited somewhat.

Sorts package would have:
1. Synchro rev match- which high end sports cars have such as Porsche, Corvette C7 only now.
2. Big brake kits Akebono comparable to Brembo
3. Rear trunk spoiler, front lower chin spoiler.
4. LSD
5. Sports Forged Ray Wheels 19's compared to base of 18
6. Sports tune suspension.

Everything if bought individually will cost you more than 10k.

PS... sorry about the double picture post coming. I did one in Tapatalk and it didn't show. I just posted the picture again from the PC and saw the message that it's moderated.

The Sports Package includes an LSD.

I bought my NISMO Z from Carmax. It was actually priced very well compared to other Z's in the area. Just throwing that out there in case this other deal falls through.

Good luck with your search!

Dont make that mistake of not getting the sports package, you'll regret it once you get the base in the long run.

I have to ask myself if I want to be committed to having to afford those 19" tires. They are spicier than 18's, however the sport wheels are sweet.

Region: US
Model Year: 2009
Production Month: 1208 - December 2008
Series: Z34
Model: GLSALWLZ34EUA---A-

Interior: G - Black
Body: Coupe
Grade: Touring w/Sport
Engine: VQ37VHR
Transmission: 7AT
Navigation: Y
Destination: LOS

So, anything that says "w/ Sport" is going to have all those goodies?
Looks good. Mileage is about the same as the one I posted that's just down the road from you, but is a couple of thousand dollars more. Also, keep in mind, for good or for bad, CarMax doesn't haggle on the price, plus you'll have to add a little to have the car shipped to you through their network. It's not much though.

While I agree with Zoren about the upgrades that come with the Sport package, I got the Base with Touring because I knew that I would ultimately replace the springs and brakes, and probably stick with the 18" wheels, since, generally, the tires are less expensive. Yes, it would be nice to have a better differential, but I can live with what I have. The spoiler looks good, but I kind of like the clean look without one.

I guess I say all that to say, think about what you might do with the car once you have it, so that you don't spend more than you need to upfront, if you end up replacing some/most of the parts that you bought the Sports package for anyway. No matter what you choose, it's a great, fun car!
