Default New Z in Colorado!! FINALLY!!

Well guys i finally finally got my Z. Listen to my sad story. I graduated college May 2008 and got a really good job. I always wanted a Z, test drove one, loved it and should have bought it. My parents talked me out of buying a RWD car, so i ended up buying a brand new Volvo C30. Great car just not for me. So had that for 6 months and in December after the bulk of the winter, decided i wanted a Z. My friend has a S2k and is fine in the winter and i saw so many RWD cars here in Colorado during the winter and just said F it. In December i found a great deal on a Z Conv, so went to the dealership to check it out. They had a 2008 Honda S2000 CR with only 3000 miles there. I hate how the Z Conv look and the CR grabbed my attention. So i bought it (HUGE impulse buy) Cost was 24k out the door. 2 weeks after owning the S2k i HATED IT. Was uncomfortable, way to small, the CR is so stiff is unbarable for a DD. What a bad move. Contacted a local dealerhip who had a 08 brand new, RED (my fav color) Z in stock. They were willing to do a 1:1 trade, i add $500, but they gave me a lower interest rate so my monthly payment actually went down. Went there on saturday, and the back quarter panel had been repainted on the S2k. The dealership i bought the Honda from forgot to mention that and the nissan dealer tried to make me add $1500. I said no way and they finally caved in. So to make a long and painful story short, i ended up getting a brand new 2008 350Z enth edition, with side airbags, tinted, front clear bra, some other dealer crap (cargo net, seat organizer etc..) for $24,000 out the door.
So i finally got my car and i absolutely LOVE IT!! No regrets and will hold onto this guy forever!!

Welcome aboard! I'm just to the north of you in Laramie, WY. You will love the Z in the summer out on the twisty mountain roads - I can't wait for that time of year again!
