I had already been to a Nissan dealership, however here in Toronto, good luck finding a 370z as they are selling out immediately. Basically you order it and wait and wait and wait...........that's how much in demand they are right now. Having said that, I found my Crossfire, paid half the money, it was easier on my insurance and in hindsight, no regrets.....
The 370z is an awesome car....but if you want to turn heads.....well, you know..........
WOW! I found my Roadster (well, DEB WALKER FOUND IT) less than two weeks after I made up my mind I wanted one. Even got red, just like I wanted! (THANKS DEB!)
I hate to say it, but the 350/370Z's just don't "do it" for me looks wise. I guess it's a personal view thing... I picked up my XF Roadster with 13K on it for under 18K. I'm happy! I like the XF's - coupe AND convertible - of course, after driving my company van and my pickup, I think I'm "Magnum, P.I." in the Red Roadster! I have never been a 'car guy' till this car came along. I am SURE I might be missing something, never having driven a "Z". But from my perspective, the XF's are where it's at for me.
I have all the power, handling, and accleration I need. I also like the fact that the XF is such a rare car - I THINK I have the only Roadster in the county. There is a black coupe running around, but haven't seen the tag to see what county he is from.
