enjoying the 370 while it's still a rare sight

gleonard · 11-21-2009, 12:55 AM

Today, I had a valet guy at the Ceaser's Palace in Las Vegas say "370? when did these come out."

it was quickly followed by "looks better than than the 350!"

Man I miss the rarity. I see them on the daily now... minimum of 4-5 a day to-from work.

Yes I agree, They aren't massed produced as much, like the other Nissan Models, so that make it's pretty cool. I don't want to take this off topic so please excuse me! But I wouldn't trust a Valet with my Z, from knowing friends that did that, the stories would make you think twice.. back on topic.

Really? I would never have guessed...

I live in San Francisco and I could about count on one hand all the 370's I have seen this entire year, definitely under a dozen. This area seems to be home to the import market as well, strange.

I've heard those sort of stories too, from friends who are valet's, but all they did where I valeted was back it in in front of the door. I also have a device that sends me text messages when it is driven over a certain speed limit, or out of a specified area that I can define.

I've only seen one silver 350 in my area (middle Virginia). But then most of the people around here drive SUVs and pickups......yuck

I haven't seen many in my area either I've seen a total of 3 on the road so far and 3 at the dealership including a roadster.

Horseface · 11-21-2009, 07:28 AM

It still IS a rare sight where I live in LA. I've seen only 2 of them. I've see more Ferraris, Lambos and Rolls Royces around here.

I didn't even know the 370z even existed until a couple of months back.

Since September I've seen exactly one 370 on the road here in CT.

j.arnaldo · 11-21-2009, 08:46 AM

2 down here, so far. But, then again, they're so much more expensive at Puerto Rico-- $50,000 for a Base model. That's why I bought a used 350; very reliable '04.5 Coupe for which I paid $20,500 with just 13k on her. The original owner paid $43,000 in '04. Greetings.

ChrisSlicks · 11-21-2009, 09:22 AM

Only seen 2 here in MA all year and both were this month!

Hey, have you had any of the oil burning problems with that model?

On Topic, I've only seen maybe a small handful of 370s actually on the road.

I rarely see them in Philadelphia (area)

An older lady (40's I'd say) in my town owns the carbon gray sport, I see her a lot and I saw an older guy who was prob at least 65 yrs old driving one, I forget what color. I saw one in Blue Bell, PA which was white/sport combo
