Default My 350z Roadster Touring Edition Purchase Story

- May 30, 2005 - 11:50 AM -
I've offically purchased a Black 2005 Roadster. I literally just got off the phone with the dealer and put a $500.00 deposit down.

Ordered:

2005 Ebony (Black) Roadster
Touring Edition
Burnt Orange vented seats

Delivery: June 20, 05

The Manager was great. He's made the sale conditional that I sell my current car (which is sold pendng inspection by future owner)

More to come soon.

I'm going to loose it. 3 weeks will feel like 3 years! Now, I'm just hoping/ praying that the guy buying my car doesn't fall through.

Update:

Well my dealer called me today and said the Grand Touring model is a minimum of 3 weeks away. It's somewhere in Vancouver, and he stressed the word "somewhere".

Originally, I wanted the regular Roadster, and I use the word "regular" only because the Roadster without the Brembo and VDC doesn't have a catch sub name!

So, he told me I can now get the regular Roadster on Wednesday. I went for it. I figure the brembo's and VDC would be nice but I'm saving almost $3000 and getting the car in just a few days.

And, he threw in the 3M invisible bra also.

So official pick up date is Wednesday June 8th. Whoot!

Make sure the dealer has someone professional doing it, heard way too many clear bra horror stories. And don't let them prep the car for you... thats just asking for swirls haha.

Oh don't tell me that. I already told the dealership not to prep it but he promised and promised there would be no swirl marks, etc. etc. I told him if they wash it, they CAN NOT dry cloth dry it. Only use a wet shamee. (sp)

Picked it up last night. All I can say is WOW! What a car. Test drives just do not give it justice. This thing handles so well. I can't wait to get in it again and take her for a rip.
