Default Goodbye, Z roadster!!!

I made a final decision and traded my 2005 Nissan 350ZR for a 2007 Lexus IS350. I will always be a Z fan and will return to the Nissan family sooner than I think. I just needed to trade up to more space and practicality. The 350ZR will always remain the car of my choice, but for now, I'll be dippin in my Lex-o....checkout my auctions on ebay for a few of my 350Z possessions:

Thank you all and my350z.com for helping me out from rims to leather seats- from that clattering flywheel sound and rpm questions! thank you thank you!



i'm transferring 350z plates...tentil 4 still means 350 on the IS!

I would be VERY interested in the Z luggage but do not have an eBay account, and do not want one. If the set does not sell through your auction and you have a set price in mind, let me know.

Did you consider a 2007 G35 instead of the IS350?

My Friend Has The G35 And The G35 Did Not Have The Features That The Lex Has: Smart Key, No Key For Ignition, No Key For Entry, Touchscreen Navi, Bluetooth Phone Feature, Touchscreen Phone Pad, Voice Activation For Radio, Air Conditioning, Phone Dialing, And Navi Functions...and Best Of All....paddle Shifters! Dont Get Me Wrong, The Z Still Looks Better, But Functionality And Practicality Wise, I Had To Step Up To The Sedan....i Will Be Back In A Z.....sooner Or Later.

I switched from an '03 350z to an '06 IS350 & LOVE it.... I do miss the Z, but the Lexus treats me right. Between the sound system, keyless everything, ventilated seats, DVD, navi, DVD player, rear view camera.... I could go on forever....

The car is kick a$s!

IMO between the G35 (sedan) and IS, I would go for the Lexus. Imagine a car that has virtually no build issues.

As soon as Toyota makes another attractive high performing sports car....I'm in.

The IS350 is a sweet ride, only issue I have with it is its size, It's to tight for my 6'4 frame... If your under 6' tall its a great ride for the money...

they took my z for $27,000; I wasnt upside down either...i paid extra each month for the banks to rape me on interest...between the lex and the g35...even with all the options on the 2007 g35- i would still go with the lex...i think i see too many g35's around long beach anyways. heres a pic of my lex...by the way a rock hit my hood on the 405 last night....one inch scratch and dent on the hood, not even touch up paint could cover.....

Default 350 vs 350

I bought a 350z after driving the IS350. The IS350 is to comfortable for my taste. The suspention is too soft and the car wobbled on turns. It was a fast car but it was tip-tronic only...thats bull****.\ (well for me right now). + I didn't need the back seats. I thought the 350Z was alot better

My 2 cents
