Just go to the Nissan Motor Corp. site and do the build your own car and then locate a dealer who has what you want.

I stand corrected, I just looked on Nissan's site, you can only get the Pikes Peak White on the Touring Roadster... Go figure..

That's true, except for the 35th Coupe. And I'm not sure about the GT Roadster.

Is this new for '05? I could've sworn you could get white on that model last year.

Thats what I thought to, but I went to Nissan's web page to the build it yourself, and the white paint option only appeared when you went with a Touring Edition...

All a matter of opinion.....the Z roadster, IMO, is the best deal for a roadster vs. any other similar type of car out there......for example: $70,000.00 + for a Lexus 430sc ? To me, that screams overpriced...Even with a hardtop vert. and an 8cyl.......They can't serve me enough wine in the showroom to spend that....but then again, as I said before, it's all a matter of opinion.....

Don't know what will be the end result for you, but Good Luck on your decision.....Dave

I bought it from Coral Springs Nissan. I have bought two previous Maximas in the past 10 years from them......Easy to deal with.....I take my Z for service to the closest dealer though....I got the Z at the end of '03 and paid sticker....All my club members' wondered how come there was'nt a premium at the time because the roadster was new and not so available then.....Most of them had paid various premiums on their coupes when they had bought them.....As far as do I enjoy the Car? I enjoy this car so much, I'm just like that the car commercial guy that shows him returning to his garage to see his car every other second......And I still do this over one year later.....Keep in mind that I have had numerous cars over the years and this is as good or better than all of them......Take a peak at some of my old rides.....



Feel free to contact if you have any questions, Dave drbtc@adelphia.net

i can tell your an older gentleman, probably with very high standards in cars and i take it you like good cars because you've owned i see in the pics rx-7s, corvettes, and other nice cars. yea this is a big step for me in buying one of these. because im a straight honda guy. but really i want something different and nice. evos and stis are fast but not really a nice on the eyes, s2000s are too small for me im 6'2 225lbs so this car seems perfect for me. im just a lil bummed that the pikes peak white only comes in coupe form in the enthusiast.

Older Gentleman? Them are fightin' words...:-) If you only knew my maturity level.....Anyway, I'm just about a clone....6'2" 230lbs....I've read alot of folks complain about the legroom but I find the cockpit just fine for us 6' and over crowd.......Guess it's just a matter of choice......I did'nt know the PPW only came the way you're saying......I'm sure you can overcome the color thing.....If you notice in my pics? I was mainly a Black or White guy......The DB is a bit loud compared to my usual taste, but would'nt trade for another color for the world....All in the eye of the beholder.......Dave p.s. By the time I was 21 I had owned approx. 5 or 6 cars......Not wealthy, just nuts........

Mossy Nissan in Oceanside... I paid $37,500 for my touring roadster... The touring only costs $2000 more then the enthusiast model... and you get 18" Rims, Heated Seats (and more comfortable), 100 times better stereo system w/ 6 disc changer in the dash. In my opinion its worth the extra $2000 for the touring roadster.

Only thing I didnt get was the Navagation System... Was not worth an additional $2000...

By the way i'm 6'-4" and 233 lbs.. and I fit like a glove in it

I never priced insurance for a coupe, so I could'nt tell you.....Most insurance cos have on-line calculators to give you an idea.....
