I haven't been to France, but I know the cars in Europe are all so small (mini Coopers, Peugots, etc...) when compared to the USA (the SUV and big truck craze!). How common are Z's in France? What is the most common vehicle you see there as far as sports cars?

Excusssssse meeee.......i think 1 euro is more worth then 1 dollar...so it's more like 38200 EUR = 37000-38000 USD

You don't see a lot of Z's here, but when people see one, they drool

Most common sports car is a 911 around here

A euro is more than a dollar hence... 38,200 euros at the current conversion rate is the equivalent of $47,529.23 roughly. 1 Euro is = to $1.244.

Exclamation This is CRAZY !

In France the 350Z is cheap...

This is CRAZY ! - in Finland the 350Z Pack version is about 60K €. With the conversion rate 1.244 it's 74.64K $ ! I really wonder why I have one.

The Euro-spec Pack version is about the same as your Track version. Brembos, VDC, TCS, LSD, 18" wheels, HIDs, leather(heated), aero spoilers, heated mirrors, knee pads etc. For Europe the suspension was heavily modified. I think that your -05 model includes many of the modifications which were designed for the Euro-spec 350Z.

does that 38000 euro price include taxes? Are taxes a huge expense on the car purchase?

I can tell you that in Holland, the road tax is 40%(!) above the base price. Plus sales tax (VAT) of 19%, you do the math. Go figure, I owned a bike when I lived there. And I mean a bicycle!

Default Car taxes in Finland

In Finland the car taxes are a huge expense - about half of the car purchase price is taxes. 60K€ includes all taxes - out the dealer door and on the road. Our annual car tax is about 120€ only. How is it in France ?

No annual vehicle tax but you sure pay a lot through road tolls. It seems like there is a "payant" every 10 miles.

i can't imagine driving in paris. i spent about 1.5 months there and watching people drive was crazy. it seems like there are no lanes and people just sorta go where ever. i never saw a wreck while i was there tho.

it's also very difficult and expensive to get a driver's licence, i think? if i remember correctly, the friend i stayed with said it was ~1000 euro.

drive in the center of paris with a Z is fun !!

A driver licence cost 1000-1500 euros. But it is valid with life.

Your policeman are "cow boy", you can nevertheless roll quickly?

Me, in france, I drive my Z at 147 Miles/Hours.

In USA, you are in prison !
