Should I pay sticker for a 09 Nismo?

zinistr · 01-19-2010, 07:56 AM

Mick...yes, 3, 5 & 7 are preferred numbers. Even #1 would be considered bad luck in Japan. I met "Pete" Atsugi with Autech in 2008 in Japan...saw the full-size clay model prior the the Nismo's release and was hooked. When discussing my preference for #0001 Nismo he was aghast and swore I didn't want #0001 and stated he'd explain over dinner later.

Our crew and the Autech guys yielded a great conversation regarding 3, 5 & 7 numbers being preferred. I had a contact with Nissan run the inventory numbers on 3/5/7 and none were available (in Silver)...#1 (of the '09's) was bought by the owner of a large dealer in CA that must be aspiring to have his own museum later in life.

So...after many months of trying to get a unique number (#0370 wasn't silver...) I just found the best deal I could on a silver one and made my deal before the end of 2009 (better deals on clearing out '09 models and tax credit benefit).

wow. thanks for the information!
i was thinking it would be cool to have a nismo with production number 666 (the devil's nismo) but according to this dealer, they only made 296 of them in 2009

2009 Nissan 370Z NISMO Special – #9 of 296 made for the 2009 model year – now $37,950 Victoria Nissan

LOL ...Someone at that dealer is a moron, they are advertising that car wrong. The 09 is the model year of the car, the 296 is the number of the car. The last number to register on this site for the 2009 models was 499. Hit the link below to the nismo registry on this site. Thats not a bad price on the car though, I'd low ball them if you looking to buy it.

I'm not so sure that is true as I almost purchased #409 '09 before the one I got. Tri-City Nissan in Tallmadge, OH had #409 and someone paid cash for it in the 1.5 hour drive down there.

Yep. it appears that the nismo is a limited production car but it is not that limited (not 296)

Mick...straight from a contact with Nissan in TN:

"As for production, we produced 509 model year 2009 and don’t have a final on 2010’s yet. We’ll produce those for another 6 months or so. And the 1500 unit volume you mention was never part of the plan for NISMO 370Z. There was lots of chatter about 1500 NISMO 350Z’s being produced but that wasn’t accurate either."

Originally, I had heard the target for Nissan was 1500 per '09 and 10 years however it seems I received bad info.

roplusbee · 01-20-2010, 04:22 PM

Wow. That is pretty good as far as collectors go. So that mean's the highest number I can possibly have is 509, awesome. Perhaps the 1500 units was for North America?

I am getting close. Just gotta get my paperwork from the bank (thru the mail, damn). I am just amazed that I will be able to close a deal on a new car from, ummm, my current location.

mick · 01-20-2010, 05:41 PM

yep, that is pretty awesome.

Thanks, zinistr for that information!

now im in the air force and ill be home in 2011 and i will have 20,000 in cash for a white nismo. im fine with paying sticker if they finance me and will install the oil cooler kit that day. is that asking to much?

vipor · 01-25-2010, 07:10 PM

As far as I know they still don't offer the Oil Cooler through Nissan. I just installed a Setrab 19 Row on my Nismo and it worked out great. Link is in my sig.

Yes I believe that Victoria Nissan has a 2009 Nismo with the build # 296 and if you look at the plaque it says Z34 09 296 meaning body type year of build and build # which is 296

toxic 6 · 02-05-2010, 01:41 PM

i got mine at $36500 OTD. thats way below sticker price.

Nismo4me · 02-05-2010, 03:49 PM

Hey TOXIC 6 ........Where did you get it in NC at that price?
