09-10 Z owners, what is price for trading up.

ZeeBabar · 08-19-2014, 08:00 PM

If you are an 09-10 Z owner, and you could get a zero percent loan or had money to spare, what would be the maximum difference you would pay for
New car from

1. A base 2014 Z

2. A 2014 Z with a sports package

3. A 2014 with touring.

4. A 2012 touring with sports package and under 10,000 miles

5. You would not do a trade at any price.

Gotta decide by Friday night.

Same here!

#4 and only if your engine was consuming oil and out of warranty.

Otherwise, stick with what you have.

It's a simple mathematical problem, but I don't have time to solve it until Saturday

aszyd · 08-19-2014, 09:33 PM

I'd also like to add a #6. 2015 Nismo. That's the new hotness with its fancy body kit, seats, and final drive. If I were in the market for an "upgrade" that would be the one I pick.

You figure 09-10 is worth 20k trade in for a base with sport, 14 is 31k if you are lucky. that's a lot of money to pay for the same car, worse if you have a touring

cigarclifford · 08-19-2014, 09:50 PM

# 5 2010 Nismo.........66,000 miles and 4 gallons of Mother's carnauba wax....

#5.. Hold on to your 09 until the next gen is introduced.. you may want it - if not, you can save until then and probably get a better deal overall updating to a newer model year. OR... take your savings and dump it towards an FI kit.

victort · 08-19-2014, 09:57 PM

#7 i'd trade it in for a Porsche

b15 · 08-19-2014, 10:24 PM

#5- not enough change since 2009 to warrant a trade on the same model.

DEpointfive0 · 08-19-2014, 10:30 PM

I'd love to trade... Only if the dealer swapped my mods over

ZeeBabar · 08-19-2014, 10:32 PM

Only reason I am tempted to trade is that I bought my 2010 used with 23k miles ( put on 20k since) and never had a brand new one. I have also heard much about synchro mesh, bigger brakes and perhaps better handling. I also know that no other cars looks appeal to me (atleast from among those new under $30k). Moreover at 66 years, there are not going to be many low slung cars in my future.

Well, you have 10 years on me, but I've already decided I get what makes me happy...I vote you trade up for the 14, as I'm pretty sure they've just about perfected the Z34 frame models. Then let the Z35 come out and be out for 2-3 years to work out the kinks and decide if you want a 2018 Touring Sport or Nismo!

Full disclosure, I did buy a 2011 mustang 5.0 first year and had ZERO issues with it...so first year may work, but based on the early Z34 issues I've read just in this forum, personally I will hedge my bet a few years.

The only "issue" I've had with my '09 is the rear hatch springs - a very minor inconvenience.

Also, keep in mind that it's far more likely for someone who has an issue with their Z to come on here and post about it than for someone who is perfectly satisfied with their Z to come on here and say "I'm not having any problems with my Z!". In other words, it's easy to get a negatively biased view about issues by looking at posts on a forum - there's a bigger picture that you won't necessarily see here.
