Default New owner back in a Z



Just picked up an 08 Z, enthusiast trim, 25.5k miles 1 owner.

I've had an 07 before that I had to sell to pay off debt, first time I paid 23k for an 07 with 6k miles.

This time I bought my 08 for 5k cheaper so I am happy about that.

Already ordered redline fluids and filled her up with Eneos 5w30 jdm oil + nice filter.

Also already ordered a deck with backup camera.

Feels good to be back in a Z,

couldn't justify spending 25k on a used 370z when I got this low mileage HR for much cheaper.

In my opinion the 350 looks A LOT better then a 370z, I hate the arrow headlights.


Anyways, also needs new rear tires, I am thinking of getting continentals DWS

Idk how everyone is picking up HR's with low miles for under 14k, but let me tell you - in Florida it's nearly impossible to find a low mileone under 18k, if you get into like 100k + miles you could drop down in to the 14k range.

Looks nice! What color is that?
And what you said about considering continental DWS... Do it! Best tire I have ever had. I use them on my summer wheels (285/40-19) and winter wheels (245/45-18), they are by far my favorite tire.

Exactly, In maryland the only 07-08 Z's are either automatic, rag top or 18k+ . Obviously there are some exceptions, but the majority fit that descirption
