So I am a previous G owner but last month got totaled due to a car ahead of me spinning out on the freeway. Anyways..

I've been in the market for a G37 S 6MT but they are so damn rare in the color combos I want and when I do find the colors I like on top of the 6MT they are way over-priced and they dealers would not budge very much on the asking price. I even searched in the Portland area and Dallas (have relatives that live there)

So my plan B is to find a 350z to drive around for temporarily or possibly a long time. I am fairly interested in the roadster. Although some of my friends disagrees with me getting a convertible in Seattle. But I feel like it would be nice to have on that short summer period to have the top down.

I tried doing a little research on the roadsters and came across a couple of posts about problems with the top fully closing if it was poorly maintained.

Should I just stay away from the roadsters?
Any pro's and con's between the coupes and roadsters in terms of modding it?
Any roadsters in the northwest care to chime in?

 

07/08 roadster would be fun. modding is the same pretty much. the car itself is a little heavier due to the convertible part. same other than that. just get the 07/08 with the HR in it

 

thanks for the reply! but i think the 07/08's are a little far off from my price range as to its close enough to grab a G37S.

 

what's your budget?

 

well for a G37S around 25K but for a Z around 10-15K

 

get an 06 and up, DE's are no fun. atleast need a rev up

 

if ur looking at mid to low 20's u could buy my built boosted z ^_^ im letting it go in that price range

 

thanks for the offer but I don't think I can afford to maintain that beast!! lol

 

the red one is brand new everything and a DE and going to be tuned conservatively

 

never been a big fan of red >_<

 

Ask Scott, he's on this board. He has a Solar Orange one with a bunch of stuff done to it. Wait, is the Solar Orange the 07+08? Whats the old orange one called?

 

hes selling his z?

 

^^ Lemans Sunset-

 

yea he PM'ed me but I think his car is way out of my price range lol

 

woah scott's selling his car? this community has changed a ton! i do still enjoy lurking once in a while.

 

I know huh. My poor Z sees the inside of a garage more then the road. '03 Z with 23K miles on it. If the weather ever gets better I think I might daily it this summer. I should hide it for 30 years and then bring it out again. It would be a classic with period correct mods. lol.

 

sounds like the red z i picked up a few months ago lol, its an 03 with 23k aswell XD

 

We all have to get together this spring for old time sake! My Z's been garaged and drove less than 5k in last 2 years....

 

Since Everybody is getting rid of their Z's lately...Now maybe we can get together for that old " Daily Driver Shoot" that hasn't yet happened.

and then we can go ride on Eric's Zip Line he was supposed to install....and we can eat BBQ DaveBurgers...........just a thought.

I've had no roadster unique problems with my Z and it is nicely loaded from factory as well as modified/tuned to ~400rwhp. It's got just over 37K miles and I'm realistic about price. Send me a PM if you're serious about looking at it.
