Not to mention a class action law suit involving the front end alignment, involving tire feathering

 

Umm...

The point of a deposit IS that they keep it if you walk away. Otherwise money wouldn't need to change hands. It repesents the the opportunity cost to them of keeping the car off the market.

It's entirely up to them if they decide to give him his money back. I suspect they will, because they didn't lose $500 keeping off the market overnight and it would just be bad publicity for them.

I've had my 02 for over 3 1/2 yrs w/o any problems. By buying new you should be able to keep the top looking new for quite sometime.

 

The top on my '02 developed a few small tears, but that was probably partially my fault from putting the top up and down in sub 50 degree weather when the fabric is not as flexible. However, I never had to fix them because my top developed an even larger tear when it came into contact with someone's knife...

 

Hey, I've got a friend in Seattle. I've visited her four or five times through the years. Every time I've been there, the weather has been drop dead gorgeous! I'm beginning to think all this talk of lousy weather in Seattle is

As for the 350Z, my best friend's got a Roadster. He's had at least one warranty replacement of the front tires due to the front end alignment issues and they had the top replaced under warranty this year due to a small tear in the fabric that popped up unexpectedly. Overall, they're very pleased with the car but it's been far from perfect. All in all, the S2000 does very well but there's always a possibility.

This is so true!! This car is a dream.

 

The top is last thing to worry about..Its punk kids that is the only worry,if they attempt to f up the top..But def. no probs with it (if if if theres a rattle,,then its one bolt to tighten I think)
oh and before you leave the dealer w/ the ride..Ask him where the fuel door release is..lol..(I love that clueless face on ALL the dealers Ive talked to about it,,they get lost in such a small space)
gd luck.and u Wont regret anything (you gonna put xtraaa miles on it immediately for sure)

 

I've been there too, never saw a drop of rain.

They want the tourists to stay away

 

I still haven't bought the car yet. Man...so nervous about getting a soft top car. I don't want issues parking this puppy outside in the open air, but I have no garage and no choice.

My main concerns are the longevity of the soft top and the tight fit inside the cockpit. I'm 6'2" and it's a tight fit...I guess my weight (225lbs) doesn't help too much. I do love the style and performance though.

Here's another question...do you HAVE to use the soft top boot anytime you drive with the top down?

Thanks all...I really appreciate all the posts.

 

man..Ive used my tonneau cover maybe less than 20 times in cple years.lol..for shorter rides its not worth putting on..only when u know for sure its going to be nice weather for a day(and no mother nature spontaneous changes,,like here in Boston.lol)
and if u dont use it,,just be sure to clean it frequently(takes 10 seconds,just brush/swipe it quick).
I dont know what the regular fading/wear&tear deal is with the top honestly,if any..(but I have a nice garage,so Im lucky)
