Default My new 08 350z Touring

Hey guys, just picked up this 08 350 touring edition, previous cars were an 01 and 04 s2000, recently got into the 04 s2000 but the mileage on this 350 was to low to pass up. Previous owner was a 60+ y old guy who literally only took it out during the summer.

Thanks. I could have picked up a used (24k) 370 for a few k more, but couldnt pass up practically brand new car, and the previous owner traded in to the ford dealership for a new cobra, so I am inclined to think he takes care of his cars (the 350 doesnt have a single scratch/scuff on it, and thats pretty good for a almost 4 year black colored car). And second on the black, I know its hard to keep clean but between the color and the seat color, they make each other pop. Plan on keeping it stock for a bit, and when the warranty goes up probably start going typical suspension/exhaust, etc. TBH though coming from a s2000 for the past 6 years this thing feels like a beast, so I have no issues keeping it stock and clean for a bit.

no I got it for 1500 under BB for good condition (which it is in ecxelent condition). I lowballed them hard when I came in , and after we haggled I still got it 1500 below. It was at qa ford dealership so it was a tad diff if I was trying to low ball them on a stang.

Yeah, I picked mine up at a Subaru dealer. They wanted a pretty penny for it, and being that there weren't many around when I bought mine, they wanted top dollar for it. Initially they wanted $26k for an '08 Enthusiast with 21k miles. Told them the Nissan dealership around the corner has a brand new 370Z base for $31k so I'll probably just go buy that instead, and they instantly dropped down to $21k. Ended up getting it $20k out the door with full warranty plus enxtended at 6% (with a 620 credit score - damn student loans). Was initially looking at the new WRX STI sedans but a 72 year old guy was signing for the last one on the lot when I walked in. He traded in the 350Z for it...

Yea sounds like you got a sweet deal. THeir was a nismo in nashville that had 6k (07), but after 2 s2k's I wanted the touring package, and to be a little more elow key. I LOVE the way the nismo's look, but so do the MP's around here. I also debated on a 370, but like I said the mileage on this one (and the seats) were to good for me to pass up. ANd honestly, after cruising the boards and such, listening to all the 370 stuff, I think their awesome cars but I don't regret my purchase one bit. Granted, if I had the scratch to have another 10k on my loan, I would probably get a 370 loaded, but with a 5 year old and a wife, just a bridge to far :-)

I love my Nismo. Best Z I've had so far. You should have gone and checked out the nismo even if you weren't planning on buying it just to check it out. It was only an hour away. I flew to Arizona to get my car.

I have two in my parking lot at work, 1 black and 1 silver, So pretty familiar with how they look, just havent driven one. They are nice, but around a military town, you might as well as put bright neon "pull me over" lights in your window.
