Default 2006 Z - Used Car, New Owner

Just picked up a used 2006 Nissan 350Z Roadster Enthusiast today. I couldn't be happier.

Two days ago I didn't even know this car existed.
Three days ago I drove a 1995 Dodge Dakota Pickup Truck. My old car broke down, and I figured it was time for a nice upgrade. After asking my friends what to get, this was one of the recomendations.

I test drove the 350z, the s2000, and the Mustang. The Mustang was just a really crumby car overall. I couldn't fit in the s2000. Once I was in the 350z, I knew I wanted this car, and I stopped looking. I found a dealer that had a nice bronze color that I liked, and I begged my friend to drive me up there.

The car had 11,000 miles on it.

Got it down to 27,250 + taxes.

I have only had it for 6 hours, and I think I am already adicted. I am not normally a car enthusiest or evangelist; however, I am just in love with this car.

Now if only the Stereo system was just a bit nicer.....

Anyways, I'll be reading through the forums to see what information I need to know!

Very cool Coz. They're not making LMS colour anymore, so we've got something a little bit special.

Nice upgrade. They should hang whoever designed the front plate holder to screw into the bumper though.

Interesting. Good to know. The reason I ended up going to the out-of-town dealer was for the bronze color. The dealers nearby had only grey, white, and blacks on hand.

Interesting observation, since it was advertised as having "Premium Wheels". Did I just get ripped off?

Its probably still an 06...we all know what the stock 06+ wheels look like, but weren't these ugly chrome ones still standard for the "premium wheel" "upgrade" ?
