My Insurance is not that bad... I have two cars, my FX35 costs $425 and my ZR costs $350 every 6 months... I'm 38 tho so that might play a part in it... (Shrug)

Right now my MX-5 is $170.00 and I've been rearended three times so my cost went up. Damn Geico!!
I anticipate it being about the same cost of I did bring home a Z...

I was acually surprise at how low the insurance is on my ZR. I have a 3000GT VR4 that I swapped my insurance on for the Z (GT going full race), it only went up a few dollars a month. I do have a really good driving record though, and I'm over 25.

Check with other insurance companies also. You may be able to get a better rate at another company. Geico was the highest back in day when I was shopping for my VR4's insurance. Allstate was 50% cheaper for me even with a lower deductable than Geico offered.

I bought my 04 Touring Roadster for 25k with 12k miles on it.

I would suggest that you look into credit unions. They have amazing deals, but you have to set up your loan through them. That's not bad though, because credit unions are better than normal banks IMO. I wouldn't leave mine if I still lived in Indy.

Also, buying at winter time is a great idea actually. I talked the guy down 2500 dollars even though it was a no haggle price. I was the only person looking at the car and I visited a few times a week for 3 or 4 weeks before he gave in and dropped the price.

I prefer low mileage and I'll always pay a little extra for it. I drive so little that 10k miles less could be 2 years of driving for me.

Default I found my new car!!!!

Okay I got my car!!!!
Silver 2004 roadster 57,000 miles for $15,500.00. The dealer doesn't know if its am Enthusiast or touring. I'm confused on it too?...If anyone can help me differentiate the trims that would be great.
It came with 6 months 6,000 mile warranty but I bought an additional three year 36,000 mile warranty that includes GAP coverage for an additional $1,400.00. It has the bose system and heated seats that I wanted, but my only bummer is no navigation and it's not white.
Right now I'm shopping around for a navigation to add in myself. And who knows maybe in a couple years I can afford to paint it white.
It came with a little seam separating on the top over on the passenger side and the car pulls to the right a bit, so it's still at the dealer getting fixed.

Yeah! I'm excited!

The dealer is an idiot:
"Exclusive to the Touring convertible are optional ventilated-net seat inserts. All Zs share identical suspension settings and come with ABS. Among coupes, Touring versions with manual transmission and Performance and Track models have 18-inch wheels. The 18s are a Touring convertible option. Other Zs have 17s. Torso side airbags are standard on the Touring convertible and optional on other Zs. Head-protecting curtain side airbags are optional on coupes. "

Congrats on the new ride. Good call on the extended warranty. I wish I had done that. Right after getting my used 04 ZR, my top developed a rip. I was lucky to find a complete assembly available used for $500. Your warranty should cover you just fine.

Lookin' forward to pictures!

Yes, YOUR dealer for not knowing/researching which model they were selling.

Yes. I will post pics of it once I get it back. Funny you say your top had issues after getting it. I bought mine with known issues on the top but worked it into the contract to have them resolved within 30 days. The back passenger seem isn't ripped but the adhesive is split. Thank god its not an actual tear. But I just got a call from the service department saying that they can't find a place that can fix the adhesive, they will only replace the top entirely. The sales manager doesn't want to fork out the money for a new top. And apparently they can't find a place that will fix this "cosmetic" problem. Eww, they tick me off!

Hey.. I just got a 350z. Its a fantastic and well cared for car. Everything I thought it is and more but I think I got the wrong car. It is Performance based. I think I should have stayed in the service based arena. I havent even got the new tags yet and willing to let it go for exactly what I payed.. Let me know .. Its an 04... Ill send pics. if you want. pretty high mileage though ,, but dosent show in performance or its astetic appeal.

Kwb077177@aol.com thanks Kenny

On the same subject of late deals, I can hook 'ya up with this sweet investment.
