Default Purchased my very first car; Guess what it was!

First of all, let me preface this thread with the fact that I am an experienced driver. I've driven for 5 years now, but I never had a car of my own until today.

I've always wanted a 350z, it's one of my favorite cars ever made, so I worked hard and saved up enough until I was able to comfortably purchase a 350z with money to spare.

Just purchased a 2003 350z Enthusiast. 104k miles, 1 owner, carfax valued it at $1500 above book. Paid $9000 cash for it and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. The car is better than I imagined it would be, but without further adieu, I present my 350z:

Has an absolutely incredible sound system in it as well. Panasonic touch screen stereo, 2 amplifiers, 1 subwoofer, and 4 custom speakers (which are some of the best sounding I've heard), I imagine the previous owner put about $2000 into the sound system.

Anyway, that's about it. I look forward to learning even more about the 350z and thank the members here who've given me information and advice in previous threads. See you all around!

Statistically new owners will wreck their z within their first year of ownership. Keep that in mind when driving it on a public road. Congrats and welcome.

That fact definitely made me extremely paranoid about buying, but then I realized that it couldn't be any worse than a BMW 335i which I drove for over a year without issue.

Something I'll definitely keep in mind regardless. I don't plan on reselling this car, ever. I have full coverage insurance, plus losing this z wouldn't impact me too seriously at this point in my life financially speaking since I purchased well below my means so I feel pretty safe.
