Arrow "What Are You Waiting For!?" ...My350Zead!

Salutation's/

I'm looking to buy a Z in the next year or so.
I'v been reading some threads like 100 Q's but I have to reread it...

Gonna try to find one at the auction (I know someone who knows someone who knows someone.) Dont know how often they come and its gonna be hard cause after reading 100 Q's it's making me extremly Picky and I was to satrt with.

I want Low KM Because, I'm not sure how hard most breaak these in. How Hard do most break these In?

I want the 300hp mt6. with the best suspention (forgot whick one it was)
But it looks like I want an 06 because of all the refindments.
I read these weigh like 3000lbs???? Thats Heavy! My old Spec-V was 1700lb
I dont care for leather (just adds weight) And I dont use CC.

But I was reading that most get the Base model and work up form there?
I dont plain on doing to much but H/E really. I still have to learn about the little secret parts for the Z.

I think I would want TC and the other thing cause you can just turn them off anyways. And The VSLD is it that bad? cause I rather not put a new one in if its gonna cost my big coin.

We'll I figured I would Introduce myself with a Question. And I have plenty More. I'll do some research and so on. But any links and quick facts will help indeed.

I don’t know which model suits your needs, but I can tell you what members are driving.

Ohh Very Nice. Ya I guess it would have been the Touring I wanted. Do they useually have leather standard? or as an option, cause like I said I dont care for it really.

And does the Touring weigh around 3000lbs ???

06 MT's - some had it. I think some of the 05 rev ups had a slight case of it as well.

You want the Entusiast model. It has TCS & LSD plus other stuff but no leather. It is next model up from Base.

All Zs weight about the same.

No Way. 350Z (period) lol. I'm saving up. Once I lose most of my tickets and my insurance goes down, I'll get a car. 350Z.

Well I have like a year till I'm gonna get insurance again and I have till 2011 till I lose all my tickets and my insurnce goes back to normal.

I can buy the car anytime, it will be easy to pay for /without insurnce and gas added.
There's a guy who I think is selling his rodster but I never like convertibles that much but the roadsters are nice. I guess.

I wish I could get the 370Z but I'd like to wait and let them fix all the problems first. And they'll be a bite out of my price range.

I'm thinking mabey I could get a new 08/09 350Z for a good price because they are changing them for the 370Z's and the economy.
