Test drive all three, and go with whatever appeals to your personality.
If it was my decision to make, I'd go with a 370, because it's the new model.
You can get an 08 Z, but it has already taken huge hits in depreciation.
Although the 370 is a first year model, and will have some bugs to work out.
I don't know much about G's except that they are a luxury version of the Z,
and have slightly less HP, and rear seats. You can't go wrong with either of the three models.

+1 to venom i agree test drive all 3...i personally would go with the 370 as well because you wont see as many on the streets because 350s are getting more and more common, but if ur choosing simply on which one you prefer i would just test drive them all

I agree with all above statements. Also, the first question would be, what is your budget? If you're not making decent money, a new 370 is not in your price range. Don't make yourself car-poor. If money isn't an issue, drive a few and evaluate your wants/needs. If you plan on having friends in your car, the G is the way to go. I you have no friends (kidding, my front passenger's seat still looks new after 2 1/2 years. ) then that's not an issue.

All are good; drive three pick one.

Save a few bucks so you can take a spelling and/or typing class.

The text message approach will just get you grief here.

so i went test driving today, found a pikes peak white 2004 touring AT with nismo exhaust and intake. i'm guessing the base 306hp is increased to 320 or so. the car has 80K miles. it's a 1 owner car, can i depend on this car?

thanks for any advice

Lol 320... 2004 with AT with nismo intake and exhaust is prolly around 250 hp on a dyno

davy1140

gag83, so i think i overestimated. but, what do you think about the 80k miles? can i depend on this car? is it going to break down in the first 20k miles?

yea, just wait a year or two.

the "base" horsepower in the '04 Z is 287 which is roughly 230whp, and the intake and exhaust didn't add much more than a hp or two.

Sorry wrong forum. This is where we say “Congratulations!” to new 350Z owners. Ones with the keys in their hands.

There are about 50 used 350z coupes listed in Autotrader within a 100 miles of you. Start doing some research as to what real value might be and then start calling. Go out and test drive a bunch and for those farther away, call and make an offer over the phone contingent upon inspection. There are a ton of used cars out there and both individuals and dealers are desperate to get rid of them. I see cars still for sale that were there when I started looking 4 months ago.

80k miles is a but high but not unreasonable. If the car hasn't been modded, wasn't owned by an idiot, then you should be fine for another 50k miles.

What did you get?

Any idea why maybe 1 in 10 “Gonna get a 350Z" members ever returns?

my guess is they decide on other cars or abandon the forum after the initial purchase advice.
