Message	I was in a restuarant eating and someone that had noticed me pull in in my 350Z commented on it and the conversation progressed to a friend of his that had the previous model. He said he had considered buying it but couldn't spend the money. I said I am always looking so I got the friends phone number and called. Turns out it was an 82 year-old retired chiropractor who had ordered the car new. I couldn't believe it when I saw it. All original 23k miles and well kept although it had been sitting for a while. I thought about it for a couple weeks and called him back and got it for $10k. Not bad for VIN #889 in 1990. No regrets here.
