I don't know whether to buy a C5 Corvette(you can get 1 at practically invoice now) or a 350Z....With the 350Z, i'd be saving about 10,000...
I like the Corvette better, but I wouldn't push my budget for ten thousand extra dollars unless I could easily afford it. (and I definitely can't)
Good luck
After seeing a roadster at the auto show with a sticker price >$39,000, the interior really stands out as a serious weak point on this car. Almost $40K for that? I don't think so. Nissan either needs to hire the interior design staff from Mazda or contract it out.
Can anyone tell me if I'm just going to be disappointed. Has Nissan rectifyed some of the problems they were having in 03 with toe & tire wear problems, and interior noises with the 04. Any information on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

If you confirm:
An applied vehicle has excessive front tire "roar" or "growl" noise under the following conditions:
-When braking moderately
-At speeds below 30 mph
-On smooth road surfaces
....the TSB is quite long. We will be posting a summary version or notice of it in the Ownership section of the site. If you would like the entire TSB (21 pages) please contact your dealer.
For example, at age 48, male in Wisconsin, with a perfect driving record (moving violations) and no accidents, my premium would be $1,000 per year on the roadster with 50/100/300 coverage at $1000 deductible.
Compared to my 19 year old son, same car, same coverage, smae deductible, $2,800 year.
heads up: in my state, if my wife and I (for example) each own a car, then buy a third car while we have a child living at home, the third car is assumed to be primarily driven by the child -- Socko on the insurance! Maybe where you live you can get around it. JW

"Let me know the next time you see an old RX-7, Supra or 300ZX. (or for that matter an old SL-230, SL-250 or even an SL-450 or BMW 2002)"
The rarity of old Japanese and German imports is not necessarily a shortcoming in the reliability department, but a lack of affordable parts and low resale values (although 70's and 80's Mustangs don't seem to hold their value much either). Open up a Classic Car Trader and there will a decent selection of 240Z's, this is because of their desirability much like you'd find many vintage Mustangs ('64 1/2-'73) as compared to the Pinto-based Mustang II's of '74-'77 (one of the biggest flops to come out of Dearborn ever). BMW 2002's in good condition still fetch $2500-$3000 easily and compared to their domestic competition of the day nothing could keep up with them on a racetrack (not dragstrip). As for Mercedes, the original SL 300 of 1953 was an engineering marvel and nothing Detroit produced at the time could compare.
"I guess if I was looking for a Bookkeeper or an Aministrative Assistant, the Civic minded individual might do. But if I was looking for someone who had fire in his belly, ready to think outside of the box and a self starter, I certainly would be more inclined to hire the youngster with the modified Muscle machine."
Think outside of the box? We're talking about a car that rides on a 26 year-old platform!! Where do you come up with this silliness? Fire in his belly? The only fire is the sensation he gets when trying to keep with a 350Z in the twisties. And lastly, self starter? Sounds more like a slacker that needs to get with it!! Hopefully the '05 Mustang will address some of these concerns, but too bad it still rides on a live rear axle!!!
