Ok. so a couple days ago i spotted an 04 PPW Z sitting outside of a budget car dealership... I have always wanted to drive a Z so i decided to test drive it, although they were asking 22k for it which i know is way too much considering the 37k miles it had... but back to the drive... It was amazing. I am used to driving 4cyls and have even drove a 300zx before but this thing was amazing. Purrred at any rpm... I was debating between an E36 M3, and the Z. The Z just won me over hands down. So ive decided that i am now in the market for a Z. i just thought id share my experience with the Z.


PS plz dont bash me for my Noob post. I just cant believe how amazingly nice the z was.

 

Glad you liked the Z. Now go get one.

 

Not everyone can afford one... O_o

 

A Z will do that to you.

 

yah its just so sad to know that such a car can exist and that i cant afford it

 

it drives like no other

 

22k for a 04 with 30k miles isn't that much and is acctually pretty reasonable, unless of course your thinking of buying salvage.

 

How did you like the noisy sound of the transmission when you test drove it?

 

you know... more than 3 years driving and I still love driving it each day.

 

then what do you think of this, found this in a newspaper ad today, that had and 05 Z and thats all i know about it. Coming from a local NISSAN dealership

my fist thought was it is, standard and a base model. but never know, last time i saw ad like that it said base and standard for a reasonable price, i go check the car out its a freaking touring, with nice frost seats, and a nismo exhaust , well that just made me think anyways.

 

this is the first car i havnt gotten sick of and traded in within the first 8 months, i love my z and dont plan on getting rid of it till it breaks down

 

that sounds like me... lol. How many cars have you had?

 

Yes. We drive 350Zs.

 

No one will bash you....... what you experienced is a common reaction.

 

I have Z feaver too. Ive had mine for about a month and it has right at 2k miles on it! gas is getting me now though, we're paying 3.13 for premium now. Thats 53.00 to fill up, or roughly 200 a month. ALOT better than my sentra though!

 

exactly !!!
I have wanted one since the day it was announced to come out! Remember when we had to order in advance for the z???
I couldnt afford it then. I still cant afford a new one now, either, lol.
Thats why I bought an 03 touring, lol. I Still love the used love, though!!!

 

When I first bought my Z the power was very satisfying...but I soon got bored with it. So now I plan on s/c after the winter. I will always love how it handles however.

 

cost of ownership between the Z and the E36 is like night and day, get the M3 if you got a deep pocket.

 

did u jizz in ur pants wen u hit redline?

 

Careful with the budget dealerships as a large % of the cars on the lots are from insurance auctions, usually considered third rate vehicles.
