Couple chips here and there, but a GREAT car driven by my mom. They wanted to make me a deal on the vehicle as it was babied and my folks decided to get a Benz. I am very conservative with my money and worried about getting a car that is expensive to operate. My 03 Tacoma is a great car, but my fiance's 180K Camry just died. Am I an idiot not to take this deal. They originally purchased the car for 42K all said and done. Any problems I need to worry about? Thanks everyone!

Mechanically, this is a very good car. With 21K miles, it's hardly even broken in. You should get YEARS of fun from the car. |

well b/c it's my second car.. i don't want to put more money to make it luxurious and comfortable... i want it as a sports car...i was considering touring model but would rather save the $5K and keep that to fix up the base model..

Replying to: scrugh_77 (Jun 27, 2007 6:36 pm) Personally I think they shouldn't even sell the base model as currently equipped; I wish they didn't sell any model without traction control. Wish they would include that on the base model, with interior as is, and then the folks who also want the leather interior and what-not can step up to touring if they want, but everyone will have that basic protection. I've read in the my350z.com forum about too many serious accidents to be "oh well, so what" about the base model. Your choice of course, just something you might do well to keep in mind. |

Replying to: scrugh_77 (Jun 28, 2007 7:34 pm) But since you're asking, here's a couple or three things to consider: this is a non-essential purchase, for you, right? As a second car I'm assuming it doesn't have to be as practical as your first car. So do you want to make this decision by emotion or by logic? By fun or by practicality? If by emotion: which car makes you smile when you look at it and drive it? Which car makes you think "Ooh, baby, this is one sweet ride!" If by logic: do you often need to drive with more than one passenger? Do you often need to drive it in winter weather? If so you will need to get a second set of tires for the Z, possibly can get by with all-seasons on the G35, depending where you live. My car stays in the garage if temps are below 40 (I've got summer high-performance tires on it). Look at the trunk space. For me, I think the roadster's trunk is just fine for what I need. (Note that the coupe has that bar across the inside which can make loading a little more difficult.) I can fit in an airline-sized carry-on suitcase plus a duffel bag, or about a dozen bags of groceries. But I can't usually use this car for a Home Depot run. So, do you need more space than that, or will that be enough for you most of the time for a second car? My bias is, don't get a coupe at all, get the Z roadster (touring) if you live in a place where you can enjoy it at least nine months of the year.  (Not that I want to make your decision even more complicated, of course!!

hey thanks man... opinion much appreciated... my view so far was like this and btw, i am into modifying import cars... so put that into consideration.... 350z: fast, sporty, cheaper than Infiniti, more parts available for mods... G35: more sophisticated and luxurious, poss more costly parts and more $$ maintainence... so do i want the cheaper (but still good) nissan sports car or a little more sophisticated one... Either I totally mod up the 350z like crazy or get g35 with some minor like kit and coilovers... it is difficult.... also the g35 is about $8K more... could used that to mod the 350z into a mean machine... so that's where my head is...
