Same with the g. Just when i think i got one with the color i want, the tran i want. BAM rebuilt title. Haha car shopping is hard when youre picky.
buy a Z with a different color and get it wrapped to the color of your choice problem solved lol.....

buy a Z cheap enough that you have excess money to modify it to your liking that is what i did.

I know what you mean! Just bought my Z about a week ago after 3 weeks of EXTENSIVE searching. Searchtempest was my go-to, but also checked eBay and autotrader. If you're looking for the ultimate clean car, I found an '06 Enthusiast with only 5,000 miles in Monticello, KY. One owner, garage kept, showroom condition. It was the gunmetal silver color, 6MT. Was out of my budget though. Let me know if you're interested. Good luck with search

i wanted a new 370, it was harder than i thought. no one wanted to sell me the 370 i wanted, they wanted to keep trying to have me buy whatever they had in stock rather than what i wanted....i understand what they are trying to do, but im not buying a new car because its convenient for the sales man, im buying the car i want to buy damnit
i said screw it, i will spend half the $$ on a used 350z. it took me many weeks to find mine. i wanted a white enthusiast or above, with 60k or less that was an auto....That was hard to find, it was mostly old man gray ones and black track models.

Payment is $400 a month.. Money I could be using on a BMW payment..
Let's not count insurance cost for an 18 year old male to drive a 350z.... Jesus Christ..

I really regret it.
Did they at least lube up before *** raping you?

It took me 2 weeks of searching nightly with little sleep. Going to lot after lot and searching every where and only found 1 used on in my area. Bad part about the area I live in is most people want lifted trucks with big tires. They look at my car and say its so nice because 98% of people don't even know what it is.

Had 2 people today tell me it looked like a porsche. Keep at it you will find what you're looking for....eventually....maybe... Good luck !
