After a late Saturday afternoon test drive and sleeping on it before making a decision to make the purchase, I had to wait a whole week to pick up the car.
Saturday: Test drive a Sport Package Z at a dealer about 45 minutes from home. Find out they have a pre-owned 2009 Sport/Touring/NAV with only 3,500 miles on it, that just happened to be Pearl White with Persimmon... the package and colour combo I was willing to order if I had to! I had not researched what a pre-owned Z should go for, so I go home to do a little number crunching and sleep on it.
Sunday: Car dealerships (or at least their finance and title offices) are closed in PA. I decide to sell my Mazdaspeed3 privately rather than trade it on the Z, so I fill out an online loan application with my credit union.
Monday: Get my loan approval in the morning. Call the dealership to make an offer, which they accept. Tried to get them to deliver the car without success, so had to arrange pickup which would have to be Saturday due to my work schedule.
Hung up the phone and proceeded to annoy my co-workers with my happy dance.
Monday Night: Create a profile here.
Tuesday: Call my tint guy and set up an appointment for the Monday after i pick up the car.
Wednesday: Start seriously considering a Fast Intentions exhaust.
Thursday: Research the different configurations for rear fog lights.
Friday: Watch every possible video of Z test drives and comparos.
Saturday: Do some really bad haircuts on people... distracted much? Pick up the car and drive it well into the night.
The thrill still hasn't worn off!

well the day before i got my 370z, my mother was talking about helping me get a 370z for my first car i purchase on my own(i was gonna get a 240z in excellent condition with no rust with an LS1 turbo swap and full supporting mods, coil overs, and a roll cage for 11k)

i look up the car, saw it looked nice, looked at track performance and compared it to an evo, porsches, ect.

then the next day my mother took me to the local nissan dealer ship to check out the 370z they had on the lot, they had a certified preowned nismo 370z asking 35k and fully loaded(well for a nismo, it had a spare, illuminated door kickers, illuminated z emblem, and trunk cover and floor mats), i test drove it(still learning manual as well but i managed) and loved it, my mother wasnt sold on the car though so she test drove it and loved it so she talked the sales guy down to 35k otd with lowjack installed and we had a deal

to this day i dont have any regrets on purchasing this car, its fast, balanced, and fun to drive

my mom did help me on the condition that i give my car to my little brother but i am not complaining

Congrats, Welcome to the club

if you know any back roads, driver her on that, imo its the windy roads that really bring the car to life and it will put the biggest smile on your face
