I want to buy the Z, but I cannot find a good damn deal. Getting ripped off at every dealer.

I honestly never considered the Z until the 370 came out. I absolutely can't get past the styling of the 350. It looked like the back end was longer than needed. I like the 240-280Z models but not so much the 300. When I saw the first Car and Driver review of it (oddly they didn't comment on oil or brake issues lol) I knew I wanted it for my next car. So when I found out I was deploying last year I decided now was the time to get it. I went to the dealership before I deployed so i could take it for a test drive. What a blast! It reminded me of how my mr-2 felt. I also think i made the salesman crap his pants driving down a nice windy road lol! While deployed I started emailing dealers trying to find exactly what I wanted. Talk about tough, most would return my email with a Z that wasn't even close to what I wanted and all but 1 refused to talk price before I got home. I nailed it down before R&R so that once off the plane i went straight to the dealership and picked it up. I haven't looked back since and it's looks never get old and it is a blast to drive!

well i hope you still love it!

i was in the market for a 911c4s but when it came down to it i went with the 370 due to the fact that i think i will have more fun in it.

edub370 09-12-2011 01:14 PM

i do love it. and i love the fact that im still 40hp up on the cayman s out of the box!

I thought for a sec about a Cayman but for the price the Z made more sense. I was also super close to buying an Elise.

The 370 was a total impulse buy.

I was actually about to buy a used Tacoma and a new 2011 WRX together. While surfing fleabay one day I came across my Z. I'd always loved the Z cars and already owned a Maxima (which I can't seem to part with after 12 years). <-------I love that damn car. I felt the 40th Anniversary was one of the best looking coupes I'd seen in a long time and said, "Ahh...what the hell".

It's been a while since I just stood there and stared at a car. Honestly, I do it every time before and after I drive her. Money well spent IMHO.

Funny... I thought I was the only one that did that. Every night too, before bed, as I lock doors, I do this.:tup:

It was the closest thing to a cayman r!
I just wanted a n/a rwd and this was the purest sports car in that format in it's price range

I was drunk with my friends at the Hard Rock Casino in Biloxi, Ms and they had it on diplay and I told them i was going to own that car. A few months later on Halloween, I got it.
