Meet in the middle, 2008-09 G37S coupe?


Just spitballin'... I think getting a pre-2011 (not 2012..?!) Mustang GT is akin to someone getting a non-turbo Z32.

"Aw, it's not a turbo."

"Aw, it's not a 5.0."


Good luck!

Same thing with the 350Z.

"Aw, it's not an HR." :P

drozzy

Haha true... it hurts man.

OTOH only Z aficionados would be able to tell an HR hood apart from a DE.

Every car dude knows about the TT Z32 and, I thought, the 2011 introduction of the Coyote.

Shoomakan

Sorry man, I live on a different continent. The 2011's sold here were all 4.6's for some reason, although a quick wiki search shows you are correct.

Anyway, enough clatter.

Good choice, i would have got an hr but the de was expensive enough for me

Congrats! You will fall in love quick.

I am on year 9 of owning mine, and every time I think about getting rid of it, after driving I change my mind. Might keep this car forever.

Best of luck!

Congrats- beautiful Z! Give us a few details: like which model, mileage and mods.

ParkerAnderson

It's touring model and has the built in GPS. It has 130,××× miles. It's completely bone stock, which is a double edged sword. It doesn't have any mods but leaves more room so I can do what I want with it.

130k....wow.

ParkerAnderson

That a good or a bad wow? It was a 1 owner also.

travlee

Far from a good wow

ParkerAnderson

It was the lowest mileage I could fine in my area within my price range 😅👌.

What was your budget? Just be prepared for maintenance and possible csc replacement

ParkerAnderson

Got it for $7,000, it was serviced 2 weeks before I bought it.

Not knocking ya....be aware of that. The car was serviced or the csc, the csc is not something they can check without dropping the trans

ParkerAnderson

Yeah I'm aware if that haha and the car was services. Once it goes bad I'll make sure to put a better one in that's not plastic.

I dont think it was a bad transaction ... many things to factor of course but anything that has moving parts will, at some point, break down...

enjoy the car, fix it when it breaks, enjoy the car some more!

ParkerAnderson

Exactly I'm loving the Z haha. A car with 20,000 miles can be worse than a car with 150,000. It all depends on you you take care of it.

^on top of that, anything can break at any mileage ... I paid $28.5 back in 2005 for my '03 and I've been loving every minute of it ... if you enjoy the car and keep it a long time the higher price paid is irrelevant.

go have fun with the car...
