Default Nothing but smiles :)

I haven't stoped smiling since monday. I bought a 2003 350z Touring with 54,000 miles in good condition. The interior is perfect, and runs like a dream. It has Silverstone paint and black leather seats with every option except the NAV system.

I bought it from a private seller and got a really good deal, plus the transaction was completely stressless with zero shadiness on anyones part.

The company I work for has a credit union that did the financing (super low rate) and assisted in the title transfer process. Which was a concern for both me and the seller, since we were both new to buying-and-selling cars privately.

There was an added bonus of doing the financing through my credit union. Since the car had less then 100,000 miles on it and in good condition, they offered me an extended warranty of 3 years/30,000 miles for a very low rate. From what I understand its better then the factory warranty that comes on new cars!

I'm so pleased with the car. I wish didn't live so close to work, because I just want to drive it as much as I can!

I'd like to thank the posters here on this site for all the helpful posts. Even though this is my first post, i've been reading and searching this forum since last October. What began as a simple curiosity about the 350z morphed into a welcome unforscene reality in a matter of a few months.

Thank you My350z.com!

Enjoy your Z. They have a habit of making you smile or grin to yourself when when driven.

Thanks for the warm welcome! It's been a week and I'm still smiling, but I'm not the only one smiling now!

I've gone through a full tank of gas in a week because of all the test drives for close friends and family. I let my folks drive it and they loved it! I haven't seen them smiling with so much excitement since the birth of thier grand children. Watching my mom "Stomp-on-it" and go from 35mph to 85mph in a matter of seconds was a blast for me. Oh ya the speed limit was 35 and near a school zone! (ok, test drive is over mom. mom.... Mom! :P) It didn't matter who drove it, the results were all the same: Smiles and more smiles!

I've been doing my best and staying away from the Tires and Rims forum, but I do find myself checkin' out rims on other cars on the road. I think it's only a matter of time before I brakedown and buy some new rims and tires because I "Neeeeeed them!" lol
