Hi everyone,
I just wanted to let you all know that I did my part on Saturday night, Oct 11, to help the economy and slow down the stock market selling panic. I bought a brand new 2008 350Z. Enthusiast level, dark blue (San Marino Blue, I think) with automatic transmission. No other options.
As an indication of the economy (I think), I was able to get a price (before tax and tag) of $28,773. I checked Edmunds.com and that is about $1400 less than what "others are paying" in my zip code.

Anyway, so far the car is a blast to drive, and I hope to be buying some accessories in the future. That's where I hope this forum can help.

Happy motoring, y'all.

 

Ah, your the reason for the big rise in the stock market today!! Nice job!

Congrats on the Z.

 

Good move, and good deal too.

 

Ferd,

you are a person after my own heart. I figured in light of the serious economic downturn what would be the best thing I could do? Answer was simple....buy a sports car!

Loving my new Z too!

Steve

 

Thank you all for your gracious welcomes.
Even though I will not get any credit for it in the media, I am glad that I was the catalyst that turned around the stock market. Even though it was down 76.62 today, that's still better than it was.
I still have a job and income and I can afford the payments. I got a 4.75% loan from my credit union, despite stories today about GMAC being really picky on issuing credit. I guess my credit union didn't read that story. What economic downturn?
OBTW, the price I got it for was $28,733, not $28,773. Hey, 40 bucks is 40 bucks.

 

"...was $28,733, not $28,773. Hey, 40 bucks is 40 bucks."

Okay; now your bragging!

 

It's a buyers market out there, good job, regardless, of what your purchasing -all large buys should be bartered, most are willing to discount products to get turns on inventory!

 

Welcome and thanks for helping the economy.

 

I told my Dad the same thing (helping the economy) when I bought my car. I also told him it was a great way to save money since my insurance went down.

 

Welcome to the forum, good to see you've got a sense of humour about the economy. CongratZ on the one year colour by the way.
