Need Advice! New Car!
 

So long story short, my 370z had an issue when I purchased the car a few months back and the issue could not be resolved after 4 months of constant arguing and back and forth with dealer. Anyways my Z is a 2011 Touring, Sport, Nav in Gun metallic with black interior. It has been decided that my car will be replaced with a new one 2012. Now I was asked of I had any other color/interior preference. I love the Gun and wanted to get orange interior but found its now only offered on Black and White. I want the orange interior but love the Gun exterior. I'm kind of in between Gun metallic and white exterior. Anyone have orange interior and is it really worth it or special. Just need some help:tup:

You don't find it to be kinda silly to ask if an interior color is worth it??? Dig deep into your own personal preference. Which is more important to you? Your dream interior or your dream exterior. Persimmon is beautiful. But black and white are the two most common colors. That's the best I can do as far as advice... go for what works for you. Either way you will have a brand new Z.

You can always add better than stock leather later for $1500. I was thinking about mystic green leather interior in mine.... It would like awesome in my Silver car. You can do the same later if you want to your Gunmetal Grey car.

Originally, I was going to buy the Gunmetal and install the persimmon interior..... But, I go such a good deal on my Silver car and decided to change it up a bit because my last car was Gunmetal and it seemed to be a little harder to keep clean and it seems everyone has the Gunmetal now. Not like the Dark Grey I had on my '04.

Don't worry you can't go wrong here .... ;-)

If you don't mind cleaning the black weekly / swirls.... Black with Persimmon is to die for though !!!!

However, this looks pretty darn good to me:

So...what was the problem?

You will be spending most of your time with the car inside of it..something to think about.

:iagree: Couldnt have said it better myself.

Dude..with all you've gone through buying a car, have you thought about maybe just getting a bike to ride?

You make a good point, black and white are very common colors and I don't think the Z looks particularly at its best in those colors. For me to give up GM for interior probably wouldn't make sense.

Your right black is a pain to maintain and gets dirty easily and every little thing is noticeable. Persimmon interior is nice but I dont think it's worth giving up the Gun metallic.

This is true. It just sucks that the Persimmon is no longer offered with Gun Metallic. Although the grey interior is still an option on the Gun metallic. I feel the grey will get dirty quickly. Anyone have this interior and how it's held up and maintenance?

I friggin LOVE that orangy interior but it would look like absolute azscrackers in my Chicane yellow lol

I would have to wear a clown outfit just to look the part :D

Well heres a comparison, the orange is def unique, but ultimately it comes down to your preference:

Wait, then what do you call what you are wearing now? :icon17:

Light colors better in sun. Gun looks cooler. Decide for yourself. It's tough to go wrong.

^^Thnaks nmjaxx9 really good comparison. Seeing the pic the black looks sleek and clean as I have now. Orange is nice but will force me to change exterior which Ive been really looking at white and it seems rather plain and wouldn't stand out in a crowd unless slightly modded IMO.

I just thought this a last combo because I get to keep Gun metallic but not sure about grey leather. I have never seen grey interior or orange in person so it's hard for me to tell and no Z's in any near Nissan dealers that I could look at. If anyone has this or seen this, any opinions or if it gets dirty fast, etc..

Also worth keeping in mind that the persimmon is even tougher to keep clean...
And grey is even worth. You can ruin the seats by wearing new, dark jeans

What was the issue that is requiring a replacement car?

I have BS with grey interior. I treated the seats when new and have not seen staining or other bad things. I wear blue jeans every day too. I do very much enjoy sitting in the car while it has been in the sun all day to find it is comfortable and my posterior is not on fire either thanks to the grey. My older dark charcoal seats were still warm when I got home.

One of 27 like mine apparently, so grey is rare on my silver combo.

:iagree:

I wasn't going to get pearl white. saw it in person. it's awesome. even better at night. brightest color you can get.

For those of you curious why the car is being replaced...the car had these stains under the paint and clearcoat all over car on every panel and the dealer said that these stains would come out with buffing or sanding. Anyways they tried everything for a time of 4 months and the stains did not come out at all and here we are. I only show 2 pics because there are so many pics but just imagine this all over the car that's brand new and 44k. I've had the car 4 months and haven't been able to mod it until it was fixed. Only thing I did was tints.

So grey interior is a no go? Shall I stick with black? I haven't seen orange or grey in person so it's hard for me to say and no dealership with Z's that I can physically see.
