Considering the future of my Z Roadster

Erob · 08-02-2018, 04:37 PM

I'm surprised that so far the overwhelming consensus is "Stay away from the Mercedes". From what I've read they're very reliable. Maybe I'm missing something, that's why I posted this thread. Thanks!!

As for the hard top being made for the Z, it's like Bunk said.....gotta take it off before leaving home. I actually discussed that in my original post.

I agree the Honda is dated, wish I could afford a Porsche.

I never really considered an Audi, never heard good things about them so I shied away from that direction. I also considered a Camaro, not much of a Ford guy.

I got to say, for the money Nissan offers ALOT of car in the 370Z..... if it weren't for the stupidly expensive and unreliable top!!!

I don't plan on buying a new car, 3- 5 years old is perfectly fine with me as long as the maintenance history is solid and the miles are under 50K. Not unreasonable for a convertible considering where it's lived life.

My budget.... I bought my Z two yrs ago for $16K. It had just over 40K mi on it and was in perfect shape. Yep - right place at the right time. I'd like to stay at $20K or under. Perhaps that is not realistic.

Thanks again for the input.

Or may I suggest a Corvette...I mean they can be budget friendly and reliable. Strong performance right out the box but at the end of the day it's just another Corvette and around here they certainly aren't rare. At the price point of an older model it could be that ultimate 2 seater convertible.
