I've been planning on a new car for a while and the 350Z caught my eye about a year ago. I've been looking here and there and The One finally came along. I went to check her out a week ago and brought her home on Tuesday.

She's a Silver Alloy Metallic 2006 Touring. I am really enjoying the car so far. I filled her up for the first time today and had quite the surprise -- I was not expecting the gas tank to be so big! I hate stopping for gas so this is a definite plus.

I am not planning any major modifications, but I would maybe like to paint the brake calipers. So far I am looking around the forum and enjoying the many different things people have done with their Zs.

I attached a picture, although it is not the best quality. Hopefully better ones to come!

06-08 grand touring comes with oem rays forged wheels and gold brembos.

Can't see your calipers but your wheels are definitely the stock wheels.

congrats and welcome nonetheless

Looking good, the Silver is probably my favorite color on the Z.

Thanks!

The car was leased to one person and returned to the Nissan dealership (where I purchased it), so I'll bet everything is stock. It's in amazing shape. The previous driver took really good care of the car. It also looks like the dealership put on brand new tires before selling it to me.

Thanks! Silver was not at the top of my list until I saw it in person, and then it became my favorite. My last car was red so it is nice to have something different.

Welcome to the forum. Great that you've found one that's still stock with and unmucked with. Definite bonus.

What sort of tyres did they put on? Something fairly decent we hope for your sake.

I have a 2006 Grand Touring model and like Duckeee said they come with the Rays forged wheels and Brembo brakes, heated leather seats, upgraded Bose 6 CD changer, among other things. I've attached a few picture for you. When I bought my car back in February the dealership (not a Nissan dealer) was advertising it as an Enthusiast level model. They apparently didn't know, or bother to research, the various models. It worked out good for me since I got a much better price than I might have if they knew what model they were selling. I suppose the same could happen in reverse with a dealer advertising a lower level model as a Grand Touring without really knowing the differences between the cars.

I have really been enjoying my Z and I'm sure you're going to enjoy yours. Welcome to the forum.

Okay, folks, I made a mistake. I have the Touring and not the Grand Touring. *Insert joke about lady drivers/blondes here.* I went down and took a look at lunch and looked back through my papers and it is definitely a Touring.

Great pics, Nick Mystic!

Thanks for the warm welcome!
