Default From coupoe AT to Roadster MT

Sure, I thought my new Z was a great car. But I soon realized that I really wanted a convertible with manual tranny. So, I sold my coupe on eBay (got a good price too) and got a great deal on a new roadster. Get to pick it up this weekend! I'm excited!

I've never seen a roadster yet, but I hear they look great. I got the new sunburst (gold) color with graphite interior. Hope I won't be dissappointed when I pick it up!

Got all the options, but couldn't find with the NAV so I'll miss that. But I can hardly wait to shift my own with the top down!

Anxious for my new roadster Z...

Good move in getting rid of the Auto. You'll love the 6MT. Your life is about to change!

John,

I think you will have a blast in the roadster. I stopped by a dealer and looked at a pair of roadsters last week. Nissan did a great job on the design. The car looks better than a Boxster with the top up, but looks absolutely fabulous with the top down. The top mechanism is way cool.

Sorry, I thought you guys would know what color. Here is the official scoop: color is LeMans Sunset and interior is Charcoal Leather. Look it up on Nissan web site if you want more info.

Regarding what I sold my coupe for, send me an email at john@laninga.com and I'll tell you. I just don't feel like hanging it out on a public form.

Counting down: car will be picked up Friday!

Anxious John

I presumed that you meant lemans sunset, but with such recent colors as "liquid aluminum" you never really know anymore...
