I feel like I know that interior but I can’t quite put my finger on it at the moment.

You are absolutely right!the “glove box” thingy should of been a dead giveaway since I remember how much fuss everybody did about it in the review when this car came out.

I wish to caption the left part of the cluster as: “Put your seatbelt on, there’s no tyre pressure, and there’s no brakes on this train”

No but i now hopefully have someone buying my TL tomorrow and this Z is a possibility of replacements because I am a moron

I test drove one of those last year. It was nice. Black on black, fully loaded, 6-speed felt great.

This is “LOOK AT ME” orange with a 6 speed; was pretty barren compared to my TL

An idling VQ only annoys people in a 1-mile radius. 2000RPM, 10 miles!

From a former Z owner, don’t do it.

Why?

Don’t get me wrong, it was a fun little car when I first bought it. Over time, though, it became an expensive burden. I had an ‘04 convertible. Some parts are cheap but some can be pretty expensive. Same with tires. It got terrible gas mileage. I also hated the ride and I didn’t like the seats. It just got to where it wasn’t fun anymore. That is just me though. You may love it, but I learned real quick a Z was not the car for me.

Supreme Chancellor and Glorious Leader SaveTheIntegras > Matt Nichelson 03/15/2016 at 18:29

Thanks for the input. I had a friend who owned one who really only complained about the gas.

I have some thinking to do

Matt Nichelson > Supreme Chancellor and Glorious Leader SaveTheIntegras 03/15/2016 at 18:38

No worries. Just some things to think about. If you end up getting it, I won’t knock ya for it. It really is a fun little car, just not for everyday use.

Does it have an orange interior? I bought one once from the dealer I worked at way back when, it started belching smoke on my way home, brought it back, they gave me my money back (it was literally 5 minutes after changing hands) a salesman bought it, turned out the piston rings went. Tread lightly.

As a former Z owner (‘08), do it! Fun car, MPG is acceptable-ish, tires are expensive, seats are tolerable, and maintenance isn’t that bad as long as it’s been taken care of.

The visibility isn’t so bad and the ride, as you’ve found out probably, is about what you’d expect it to be (I’m assuming your expectations).

Your boy, BJR > Supreme Chancellor and Glorious Leader SaveTheIntegras 03/15/2016 at 19:00

Ah, yeah I’d still stay away though. Since this is oppo and we like spending other’s money, you should get a Lexus LS. Or my DeVille, if just to say you now own Ben Rolland’s Cadillac. (That’s gotta hold at least as much weight around here as saying you own Tony Soprano’s Suburban!)

I love how on Oppo i can get both ‘do it!’ comments as well as ‘STAY AWAY!’ comments.

Wow. Seems pretty low risk. I’m not saying 7.5k is nothing, but if something bad were to happen it really wouldn't make a dent in the grand scheme of things.

I have an 05, manual, in Daytona Blue Metallic... as soon as I have insurance on it this summer it’s going up for sale, I’m looking for an old Corvette... so if you’re in Canada... ;)

Suspension is stiff,

tires are roughly $950 CAD for a set assuming stock staggered wheels,

you’ll never get more than 31MPG (and that’s taking it easy on the highway at a steady 105km/h (around 65MPH)

it’s INCREDIBLY reliable and parts are cheap

Not exactly overpowered, but surprisingly nimble for it’s weight, with lovely responsive steering

I daily’d mine for two years (although not during snowy/salty parts of the winter) and found it pretty practical. No transporting plywood, but I did get a full sized drillpress in the passenger’s seat

Thank you! Except for a K&N intake and the head unit it’s 100% stock, shockingly enough!
