Okay so with my car nearing completion and show season right around the corner I am looking to get a daily driver. My current 350z is undergoing a major face lift at Car Toyz 2 in Rockville so I am looking for a new ride to puchase this year as a DD.

The short of the story is after searching I keep coming right back to a 350 but I am thinking of a convertible . So any help from the Mid-A guys/girls with one would be great. Pros and Cons your car verses another convertible or 350 coupe.

Thanks in advance!

 

So you want to have a show 350z couple and a daily drive 350z convertible? Very interesting!

 

BamBam's car

 

haha

 

Buy MrPratts car, good for a DD

 

I know it's kinda redundant to have 2 350's but it makes sense. I need a new/used car, would like it to be a convertible and I like my car.. A LOT so why not a another 350? Other options are a Z4, MR2 spyder (needs some body mods before I would drive it), SLK320, newer Eclipse convert or S2k.

 

Go S2K

It's good to have two different cars, you can mix it up a little bit. You can wake up and say "hmm what will I drive today?"

 

I will have to admit those little f*ckers kinda freak me out when it rains... they can get sideways in a hurry. Anyone got an old weight set I can store it its trunk? LOL

 

+1

 

Well out of those choices you listed, S2K for sure. It's not that I don't love the thought of having 2 Z's, but its really, pointless. Yeah its an awesome car, but again, pointless lol.

How much are you looking to spend if you don't mind me asking?

 

I was surfing e-bay and carmax and looks like I can pick up a 2004/5 350 for high teens or low 20's. I was also thinking the Sky.... but its a Saturn. Eh, Jazz made the Soltice cool. LOL Autobots, Roll Out!

 

Test drive the Sky Redline. Heard those things are pretty fun to drive and great at the track.

 

They are fun as hell, I remember you, and you're not a big guy Ken, so you'll be fine. Do it, you can get a good deal on a brand new one! Get black, and put some bling bling wheels on it

 

Black is the color I was thinking for the next car. Not sure I want to buy another new car although I could get better financing. I wonder what the Sky goes for at a actual dealership. Anyone know of people that have one and there feedback? Only concern its a GM.

 

Meaning...?

 

SL500

 

I am still toying with the 500 idea. Gotta get him to let it go cheap though!

I havent been too impressed with GM quality except for their trucks and caddy line. Do you know if the engine and trans is GM or outsourced?

 

SL500 that car is AMAZING

 

So is there any Mid-A convertible owners other than BamBam here?! :-P

 

Dutchboy has a nice ZR, there was a few at Skyline but I think one was VA
