Btw 2 weeks ago I told my dad that I wanted to get him a retirement present(A mid 90 miata is what I could find at a reasonable price.I love my parents but I won't be taking a second mortgage ) The old man said no thanks and will sell it if I ever force him the car...He will keep on driving his crossover as the all around car (its comfy,has space to travel,go to costco) thats what you need when you're retired. Working all these years, raising a family, being tired etc you need a comfy car...The 370z doesnt fit the bill...its loud,rough etc....If it's to get a toy..well a sebring convertible,mustang,miata,G6,EOS,Mini convert etc can all do the job...if it's only one car then she should buy a CTS or any car out there....

I repeat as much as the 370z is a nice car...if she never had those kind of cars you dont start buying them at 50-60+. Maybe a convertible 350z will do the job...sorry but I'm cheap I would get one of those cars used and drive a bigger DD. You can have most of the car that I stated before for a song. That means that if she doesn't like the car she can sell it at the price that she initially paid.
