Smile Finally got what i wanted!

Well after searching and driving quite a bit aways i finally got a Daytona Blue, '06, enthusiast, 6mt, z coupe. Bought it used with roughly 24,000 miles on it and paid around 25k. Only problem with the car is the front bumper has rock chips and such but it isnt too bad. I havnt had time to really clean and wax the car because its been really crappy weather lately so the pics i have arnt that great, not to mention they were taken on my cheap camera. (getting a new one for christmas!)

Its stock and i doubt ill have the money anytime soon to change that, short of a popcharger, but im certainly ready to start modding! Its and amazing car and everytime i walk out and see it i get all tingly inside, lol. Cant wait to start contributing more to the forums and getting to know you guys more. Thanks everyone who helped me when i was looking for a Z and gave me info. Only problem im having now is burning up so much gas driving around town! I find every little excuse i can just to drive it, lol.

Yeah but its certified and i got a bumper to bumper and drivetrain warranty so if anything happens it will be covered, however it looked taken car of. The interior is virtually spotless and it drove perfectly. Besides it was within what i could afford so i went for it!

Haha, i parked that way so when i took a picture of it from the other side i had a nice view of the house too, just happened to like that photo. . As far as the chips, i had someone say the same thing about guitars. To him guitars that are worn and even had chips were more beautiful than a brand new guitar. I agree with him in some repects but i still couldnt help but feel like i got kicked in the nuts when i put the first dent on my Ibanez Jem.

Dont listen to the..."I payed way less then you!" types. If you think you payed a fair price for the market value (different in each city/town), then thats all that matters.

Enjoy the Z, it looks very sharp.

Merry X-Mas!

Welcome to the 06 DB family! Don't worry about the chipped front end, I think they are actually an option from Nissan.

You know what i just realized. Z's dont have pinstripes... I never looked really close so i never thought anything of it that mine had 2 small pinstripes going down the side but then i saw another blue z and realized it didnt have one. It doesnt look bad and its hardly noticebale. Was the pinstripe available on certain years or is it an aftermarket thing or what?? It doesnt look that bad so im going to leave it, it actually kinda sets it off some.

No. Pinstripes are never applied at the factory.

IMO pinstripes are ugly. If the dealer had put one on my car I would have taken it off.
