Hi.. I wanted to say hello and introduce myself. I have been viewing this site for some time, and pulled the trigger and bought a new left over 2007 Silver Z roadster this saturday. Im in Arlington, Virginia. Im looking forward to participating now instead of just watching from the sidelines.

Congrats on the new purchase. What was the final go-ahead to purchase your Z?

I have been thinking of the Z for a while, and stopped by a couple od dealerships to drive it. I thought about it for a while, and then just decided now was the time.

I bought it at Brown's in Arlington. I live a couple of blocks away.

Thanks to those who welcomed me to the site..Im looking forward to checking it out more often.

Thats awesome. If you don't mind me asking. How much did you pay OTD for the touring? or grand touring? I am looking to buy as well but wasn't sure how far they are willing to go on top of the supposed '8k' off.

Its a touring...

Thats a hard question to answer because I was very upside down on my trade. So, it wont make sense going on what I paid. I will say, the best deal I found, which I passed up on at the time, was a 2007 Grand touring brand new, listed for 41k being sold for 34k. At the time, there were rebates, and I know there was some dealer money also.

Honestly, I would say as long as youre comfortable with the fact youre getting a decent deal, and can afford the payment, or have the cash if youre buying it outright, do it.

I am glad I made the plunge, its a fun car, and whether it was a thousand more or less, it didnt matter to me in the end. I wanted the car.

I hope this helps.

Every little bit of information helps. Browns of sterling has the grand touring for a little less than 34k. I was hoping to get it 32k OTD as they have over 10 07' roadsters left.

With this economy going down the pooper, im having a hard time finding a bank willing to loan me the money. Even with 'Very Good' credit and above average pay for recent CpE graduates, I was not approved. The bank said I lacked credit history, as I just graduated last May. Worst come to worst, i'll try to finance through the dealership.

Congrads on the new ride! Maybe i'll see you on the road one day.

I just got my roadster also it's an 05 but pretty much the same car, and I love it. Welcome to the 350ZR club!
