To what depths did you travel for your Z

hansoac · 03-03-2011, 12:24 PM

Just out of curiosity..how far did some of you go/willing to go for your Z!?
I told my grandfather I would go to hell and drive it back if that's what it takes to find the right one for me!
His response: "You shouldn't need to go farther than 50 miles, I found our HHR within a 50 mile radius of our house" ...lol.

Lol... Does going to Afghanistan for 7 months count? It's how I paid for it!...

I traveled from Minot to Fargo, which is about 4hrs worth of driving each way...

and truth be told, I almost bought a Nismo while I was down in shreveport, LA, BUT the sales guy left, and wasn't there to finish my papers, even tho I was ready to walk out with the keys... and that would have been cross the country

I was living in Houston and the one I wanted was in Dallas, my dealer drove me there and I drove my car back so that someone else wouldn't be driving it for 4 hours.

LOL. Well they are older and they seem to really like it. BUT, i am looking for either a 09 or 10'/GT/Sport/ either auto or manual depending on the best deals. I had a manual 350 and liked it at times but also didn't like it at times.

m4a1mustang · 03-03-2011, 12:51 PM

I drove 20 miles for my Z, 1000 for my 5.0 (in my Z).

kenchan · 03-03-2011, 12:55 PM

i just checked out a dealer nearby and they had exactly wat i wanted so made it real easy for me. test drove the exact car i bought with less than 5miles on the odo and plastic wrap inside.

By GT you mean, sport/touring/navigation.... fully loaded basically.

what color scheme in/out? i'll keep an eye open.

TheGreatOne · 03-03-2011, 01:01 PM

- I drove 1hr to a dealership out in the boonies that had this 40th anniversary on the lot

- Montreal and closer areas are pretty english, but the further you go out, its super french, so I had to bring my wife the first time to translate incase his english sucked, but wasn't too bad.

- I didn't sell my Lancer yet so borrowed money from my buddy for a Down Payment (Lancer is finally sold now)

All worth it and I haven't even driven the car yet except for bringing it home from the dealership a month ago lol.

Well more importantly the sport package, i will settle for a base sport. I like either black, yellow, or blue (POSSIBLY the Pl. Graphite as well) interior preferably black
