Talking Newbie here Interested in a purchase.

Hi all,

I've been thinking of purchasing a 350z. I've been a truck person for some time now and always want a sportcar. Never had an sportcar. My test drive of the new 350z was impressive. i've test drive both manual and auto. i would have to go with manual it was a lot more fun and enjoyable. my view of the rear was some what limited. also go with a coupe. Not sure if i should get the track model or get the enthusiast. If you have any input for first time buyer will appreciated.

thank all
mth

Mth, it would really depend on your preferences as to which model might suit you best. Here's a nice little spec. chart if you want to go over the differences and decide for yourself.

...Well, to state the obvious...Are you into pure performance or an enthusiat?...it really depends on your own preferences...noone can answer that for you....have you test driven both?

Also, since you're a truck guy, you might want to consider the Infiniti G35...it's more practical & roomy & as sporty as the 350Z in looks & performance.

Check out the Infiniti G35 G coupe...Two doors & even has rear seats...

www.infiniti.com

If I didn't just drop a load on modifying my Ford Probe (yeah, crazy huh?)
I would LOVE to buy this car... It looks BETTER than the 350Z in person...

In case you don't know... Nissan & Infiniti are the same company so that's why the cars look very much alike...Infiniti is the Luxury brand but the price of both cars are similiar as well.

hahah yes you can buy a fixer upper in a bad reputation neighborhood....but i dont want the damn house...i want the 350z sitting in my garage riiiiiiight ....NOW!and....NOW....ok how bout NOW!
damn it...i guess it dont work...

but serious cars are expencive here...and TAX omg TAX!!!
they take tax of our check, and then they tax us on everything we buy .14% and then at tax month if you didnt pay enough (usualy they figure you didnt) you gotta pay...yes you guessed it more tax.

like i mean 50 000 x .14 = ...umm...well lots more then 50 000 and they dont even do it that way....they add the loan....say 7 000 so its 57 000 x .14%..... i still want my 350z Touring.
