Buying a new 06 350Z Roadster or Coupe, thought?
Dudes!!!! Stop confusing me already!
I had my mind up on a Coupe.
It will definately be manual, I couldnt get a sports car in automatic.
Anwyay, Reasons why I am choosing Coupe.
1. I will mostly be riding with the roof up where I live.
2. Roof up the Coupe wins in looks hands down.
3. The Coupe is Lighter and 0.5 Seconds faster 0-62mph
4. The Coupe wont look silly when I take it to my local track for some speeding
5. Did I mention the Coupe is 0.5 seconds faster? :-)
So in 30 minutes I am going to look at the Red Coupe, it has arrived from a neighbouring city. If I dont fall in love with the red and black interior today then I will order the Sunset with burnt Orange interior and wait the 3 months.
Cheers

Wooohoooo.
Just bought the Red Coupe.
It has everything. Black Leather with aerated holes and red dots, it looks great with the red.
After seeing her in red, when I looked again at the orange, it wasnt as nice.
So I am very happy. I think the Orange will look swesome in the soft top with the orange leather, But I think in hardtop, the red looks very nice.
Plus Ive seen a couple of Orange ones around and never seen a red one.
Plus I getting a free custom plate, and it rocks.
I will post pics when I pick her up Saturday morning. I could get it Thursday already, however I will be out of town tomorrow and friday night.
I took her for a test drive also, man what power, and I didnt even go past 4000rpm, I am freaking so happy I wanna cry!!
Thanks for everybodies input.
But yes, its not mine and no congrats until the keys are in my hand.
Soon though, very very soon.........

Crappy picture taken with my mobile at the dealer.
Dealer phoned me, finance is approved. Everything done.
Just a question of collecting the keys on Saturday.
What a great weekend coming up.
Sorry for the bad quality pic

Bad News!!
Apparantly during the pre-delivery inspection, something was wrong with the suspenssion or something?
Anyway, they need to get some part from Japan, 10 Day wait.
So I have cancelled my order for the red one, and have instead, ordered the Lemans Sunset one, and will be waiting the 2-3 months. I am sorry but I am just not prepared to buy a new car that already needs replacement parts. I am scared its a lemon, Ive had one before, its just a bad start, so guess it was not meant to be?
So let the long wait start.

ANother update.
They showed me the problem today. LOL, there are like 20 weld point on the one side of the strut, and One of the little weld spots has a hairline crack. Man I couldnt even see it. Anyway, they are replacing the suspention from another car there, the black roadster convertable. SO it will be ready tuesday.
Also, they gave me a loancar a 2003 350Z coupe, so I am driving that till tuesday.
Also they gave me my first major service free.
Also they gave me a nissan and dealer 6 months swap for a brand new car or my money back if anything goes wrong with the car in the first 6 months.
They have been pretty good to me, plus I do like the red, looks much sportier. SO I am one happy camper again.
How can I be 100% sure I got the more HP/KW model, and not the outdated model?
Exactly what will identify it as being different?
