I'm New

jimkropf · 03-24-2011, 09:36 PM

Hi, I'm looking for a 370Z Roadster. Prefer new or nearly so. Just starting to look. Mostly brousing the sales brochure. I'd like the touring with AT and sport. Dark Cherry and Nav would be nice. Any ideas about shopping within 500 miles of SoCal. Or shipping from other places. Now driving a 1966 Datsun roadster. I am totally unfamiliar with posting on websites so I hope I haven't done anything improper with this one. Thanks

I bought mine from the San Fran area. Flew down; road trip home. They still
have one new 2010 Roadster PW, sports package, nav (I think), wine interior.
$10,000 under MSRP. Call up northbaynissan.com if you're interested. Good luck with your buy.

Thanks for your help. The Glendale Nissan website shows a lot of roadsters available including 2 of interest and they are nearby. I'll keep you posted. I don't know how to post pictures of my Datsun roadster but I'll try a few things. Might learn something.

Well,
I did a test drive and was unpleasantly surprised at the vibration felt in the steering wheel and brake pedal at idle. It was really bad. More than my truck or even my Datsun roadster 4 cylinder. Is this common? Has this been a topic on this website? And the fit at the rear, especially the top cover wasn't good. Everything else was wonderful, but a lot of time is spent in LA traffic at stop lights and the shaking is objectionable. I know high HP and compression and light flywheel contribute to this but it should be isolated better. Comments? I'm going to try another dealer.
