Just got back from looking at 370 Touring. Nice buggy. Interior is big upgrade from 350.

Congrats.

Haha! Just put her to bed. These are from my iPhone. My fiance was a trooper. We went to three dealerships chasing a graphite touring. The second one kept trying to convice me to buy a base/sport so he wouldn't have to dealer trade for the one I want. I have a contact at all dealerships but one, so I called and they had exactly what I wanted. Dealers didn't know what to do about pricing. I deal with a lot of dealerships buying cars for friends and family, but this was very different for a car that came out yesterday.

Congrats. I checked out a white one today, I actually like it the most of all the colors. It hides some of the uglier lines of the car, taking away from the overly brash styling. I'd definitely only get a white one. The new blue is hideous. The PG is nice, though.

I buy a lot of cars and deal with a lot of sales people. I told the second dealership that I had a price from the first, they said 37,500 + TT&L. I told dealership 3 that they offered 37,500 OTD, they matched. However when I showed up, they had to move some things around for my trade. Anywho, in a word: experience.

I almost bought red because it was so absolutely gorgeous. But I like the slightly upscale look that Plat Graph gives. A subtle, but agressive color.

Drives great. The S mode on the manual works really well but will catch you offgaurd. I was still trying to blip the throttle still. The interior is nice, but you will notice the reflection of the gauges at the top of the windshield at night. The back right blindspot is pretty bad. I'll be trying to tune that out or getting one of those tiny round mirrors. It sure as Hell will fit on the side mirrors. The trans was a little clunky at low speeds. Rides very nice.

Oh, and I got "free tint" as part of the negotiation, but will have to go back during next week.

Lol, I really didn't think you would buy one, I'm very surprised. Congradulations. I finally got to see the 370z and I don't think it looks as good as the 350z but I plan to add it to my collection next year.
