Would you buy again?

ImportConvert · 11-02-2010, 02:37 AM

Have you enjoyed your 370Z enough that if it were stolen tomorrow, a check from insurance was cut for exactly what you owed/the car was worth, would you buy another one, or look for happiness elsewhere?

kenchan · 11-02-2010, 07:06 AM

Jep. Im not done playing.

ClemsonWill · 11-02-2010, 07:17 AM

It would depend on the situation but I'm very happy with my Z. If everything worked out financially the way I wanted it to then I would definitely get another one. Although I would hate having to go through the break-in period again. It took me 3 months the first time.

Lemers · 11-02-2010, 07:27 AM

My list of cars would most certainly be short. The Z and one other. The only new sports car that has came out since I got my Z is the mustang. I would take it for a test drive to see for myself the difference.

You really should, on your next day off, head over to Shamaley and giver er' a go. If anything, just to see what all of us converts have been gushing about.

If the check is over $30K, i would buy a used Cayman S.

If under, i would buy a Z again.

spearfish25 · 11-02-2010, 07:55 AM

If it happened tomorrow, absolutely buy again. If it happened in three years, I'd look at a Cayman S. Or maybe one of the new Lotus models that will be showing up shortly.

Cake!

Zolfix · 11-02-2010, 08:43 AM

Of course not. Not because there is anything wrong with the Z, I just like variety and try to get something different every time. Last car was a G35, 370z now, and the next will probably be a slightly used M3...

That's my position. I'd get something else to change it up.

Even though there's many threads (too many to count at times) about the "flaws" and "misgivings" about this car, I would definitely buy again.

Every day I see threads posted about how this car has the worst oil burning engine ever, how the ECU is bad, how the paint is terrible, how the road noise is unacceptable, the famous hatch opening issue, how almost every other sports car has better performance and re-sale value...... and on and on and on.

Yes, I would still buy. I've had absolutely no problems with mine. The performance is all I expected and more. And, the most important part, I've had a great time in mine. So to all those nay-sayers out there that enjoy bashing and trashing this car.... at least I'm convinced it's a very good if not great car for the money I've spent.

(flame away or rep-point me if you agree)

I agree and well said. I still don't understand all the talk about the road noise. I bought my 2010 Roadster in late December of "09, had it flat bedded to my garage, and there it sat until the salt was gone from the roads. After reading all the comments about the noise I really wondered what I got myself into. People buying sound deadening products, even one was given to a contest winner if I remember correctly, and the sound of debris hitting the fender wells was so loud that that needed to be tended to also.

If some feel that way, fine, and I won't dispute them, everyone has their own opinion, but when I took her out for the first drive, I was absolutely in love with her from the moment I hit the start button to the moment I stepped out of it after a two hour drive, and I still am.

I love not only the sound of my Z, but everything else about it as well. I am missing her already because tomorrow may be the last day I drive her until spring as I think that will be the day I put her in storage for the winter.

I love my 370Z Roadster. I only wish I could put it into words. It's hard to describe how happy I am when I am driving my Z, even washing-waxing- detailing her, not to mention looking at her sitting there in a parking lot, knowing it's all mine. What an absolutely beautiful automobile.

I had a friend comment to me just a few days ago. He said, with a big smile on his face; "is there ANYTHING that you don't like about your Z?"

My reply was; "no, I could ask for nothing more."

Bye the way, I'd like to send my kudo's to AK and this great Forum. It has been a mainstay to me and I look forward to more of the same in the days and years ahead. The experience I've had with owning, operating and enjoying my Z would not have been the same without this great Forum. I am very glad I stumbled onto it last year.

Thanks AK, and thanks to all the rest of you for being a part of it.

Hey Frost, if you agree, show us your tits! LOL

Absolutely would buy it again- daily driver (except winter) ~ 22 K miles- 2years & tracked- never had any problems - all is what I expect from this car
