Default Good things come to those who wait [Success Story]

Well let me just start by saying I just bought an 03 SS touring Z with 22k miles on it, burnt orange leather interior, and in perfect condition for $19,900 OTD. But here`s the thing..

I`ve been looking for a Z for over 7 months now. i`ve been faced with countless offers as high as $28,500, to as low as $22,000, and have painfully turned them all down. I almost bought an 03 touring SS z with 38k miles on it for $22,000.. and didn`t think i`d ever find a better deal on the specs. that i wanted. But that car had scratches EVERYWHERE, a cracked front windshield, and the owners were dumbasses who drove back and forth from az to texas.

So anyways, it was tough but i walked away from that deal and kept my head up, looking in the paper every morning and making countless calls to dealers/private owners and getting screwed a million times by random dealers and people who had no consideration for anyone but themselves.

basically what i`m trying to say is that I`ve learned that buying a car is not something that you can rush, and that if you look long and hard then you will be able to find that incredible, unheard of deal that you`re just dying to find.

Moral: good things come to those who wait.

Also let me take this time to thank Aggro Al, Kcobean, and everyone else who`s ever helped me here at my350z, ya`ll really are a great bunch of people.

So thanks, biatches
