Yep, you've had your car now for 10,000, 30k,50k miles how does it feel compared to when it was new? Is it tight like before or is she loosing up by now? Cluggy (clug, clug, clug) front ends?

I have a Corvette but am selling it. The quality is great, everything about the car is great but I've had many threw the years and want to change to maybe one of these 350z's. I like the car but don't really know if it's a $42,000

I bought an 03 back in November of 02. I have put 23K miles on it and alot of mods including a Vortech SC and I have had no 'major' issues. Aside from the power increase, the car feels just as good as the day I drove away from the dealer. I really do not have any complaints about the car considering it is a first model year.

Just broke 12000 miles today. Besides me putting in too thick of a diff oil and causing the ABS to kick on unnecessarily, NO PROBLEMS HERE

I have a repair thread...

It's a 06 Roadster GT everything but Nav. it stickers at $41,800 with the Vented seats. I can get it OTD everthing included for $41,700. That's $38,800 invoice price plus tax title tag fees ($499)
Better deals out there? I really am struggling paying this much for one of these.

There is no WAY the roadster does 0-60 in 6.2 seconds! I wouldn't believe that.

my 03 has 28K on it. I bought it a year ago w/ 16K miles on it and I've never had one problem with it. I love it and will never sell it (I can't-I'm buried in it, haha).

Got an 03 with 32K car runs perfect and it has never been in the shop for any repairs, and no signs of building problems. Still runs strong
