Default Did I purchase the wrong car???

Hey Guys-

I just picked up an 08 base 350z for $23,500+taxes in orange county with a 1.9Apr and now might be regreating not picking up the new 370Z, how are you guys liking the new 370 and was it worth the wait.

Check out my new car below and are there any great deals going on for the 370 at this current time?

first of all, hello to my irvine friend

I personally like the 350z looks better than 370z but to each his own.
Stick with 08 for now and trade 350z in for 370z in 2 years or so. First generation 370z will have some problems just like first gen. 350z did.
dont worry. You purchased the right car.

have fun with your car. Wave at other Z's when you see them

There are things I like about 350 and don't like about 370 and vice versa.

The 370 would have been what another 10,000 bux at least? With the depreciation in cars I just don't see that extra 10k for what is basically the same car being worth it.

Too late now anyway so just enjoy the car. The 350Z is a good car. Just take good care of it , try not too add too many more miles, then sale it in a couple years and buy a used 370Z.

there is a buyers remorse clause in CA (at least there was for my used car) although i think the grace period is what, like 72 hours or something?!

Only if sold door-to-door. If you went to the dealer's place of business there is no 72 hour I-screwed-up clause.

I just love a black 350Z!!! I would have bought black but I'm wayyyy to lazy to wash and wax cars daily anymore so I've told myself no more black cars hahaha But when others put in the wash prep time then its all good!!! I threw the idea around about selling my 07 for a new 370Z but the money lost is too high for me...So I'm stickn for a few years for sure. Good luck with your 08.

But seriously OP, you'll find lots of opinions here. Some love the 370, some hate it. I would say most of us are somewhere in the middle. Either way, you got a great machine and it WILL turn heads and put a smile on your face when you hit the accelerator.

^^^He's right...there are as many who like as there are who dislike. If it helps, my car is 3 years old and just last Saturday I was walking up the sidewalk to my house after running an errand and someone down the street yelled, "Hey guy!" I turned to see who it was and the guy yelled, "Nice car!"

I get this all the time with my 350 and I bet you will too.
