Question What made you bought your car?

If you could name only ONE thing, what about the car made you buy it?

Was it the price? value? handling? style? the VQ engine?....

For me, it was the exhaust sound. The first time I heard it, I thought it was the most exotic sounding car that's cheaper than a porsche C4S. I knew I had to get it then.....

No. 1 - Style, No 2. previous ownership of Nissans and reliability and 3. -previously owned a new 1990 350ZX - traded it in for a Maxima in 1995 and was sorry ever since.

1) Owned two previous Nissans and was happy with them. 2) I always wanted a Z but wasn't able to afford the last Z (1996). 3) Like the look and the attention.

The moment I saw it in Nissan Dealership waiting for one lucky customer. I HAD TO HAVE IT. So next day, I went into the dealer with my check shoveled in my back pocket and placed order.

Wanted to change my 2k2 maxima into a 2-door! I just didn't need the space anymore.

Drove by my Le Mans Sunset for about a month before I decided to stop in and "kick the tires".

Ended up driving out with it! Just how it goes sometimes...and I LOVE THIS CAR!

Although it's quite expensive...cause I keep dropping mods on it!

I'd say in this order:
1. Performance
2. Looks




How Ironic... I'm doing all cosmetic mods and no go mods, hmmm...

To me it is mostly looks, as the value and reliability of Nissan since we have a 2001 Xterra and my wife loves that SUV. It wasn't hard to talk her into let me buy this 350Z. So this is going to be be one Nissan happy family! :-)
