why so many used Nismos for sale?
 

I just checked the "370z for sale" thread and its nothing but Nismos.
Why is that? is it too rough or something?

I am having a great time with mine. I knew what is was before I bought and decided it was worth a little less comfort to have it.

I would say something but the nismo guys are watching me... Mafia style

Financial reasons maybe?

Nope... Common sense kicked in bwahaha. The 240 lb guy in the nismo noticed he couldn't be the 120lb chick driving a regular 370z

Because they wanted to upgrade to the faster base auto :stirthepot:

That makes the most sense. And the fact that it was maybe like a fad lol! :wtf2:

wait are you guys saying its heavier than the regular Z? and slower?

Let's just say... We aren't doing this again lol. Check nismo check topic "should I get a nismo"

most likely it wasnt practical or not comfortable enough.

its amazing how we have so many haters on here. they are ALL Z's in the end. geez

imo, it's not the car, it's the owners.
some people would get bored of their cars sooner than others.

we need to stop this Z or Z violence before its too late.

and i know just how, discontinue the nismo or put a turbo on it. just saying

I know how to stop it too, they should discontinue your account or put on a turbo on it so you can speed on out of here. lol

x2 on both...keep it limited at w.e number it is now and thats it...and quit hating on the nismos lmao...i want a c/f dash from u..but not if its touched by a regular z owner :\ only made by the hands of a nismo owner if its not to much to ask...no offense ofcourse.

Yeah, but some people just buy it because of the style and never driven a Z before and them realize that that is not what they want it.

There is were they start complaining about the suspension, Touring Package, etc.


:iagree:

Yes they are all Z's in the end, I would say most people who bought them didnt realize how harsh the ride was or they couldnt afford it....




DAN

BWAHAHA nice.... Plus ive never worked with a nismo dash. I dont think I would be use to it. Comparing the dash to the 29k base /) how much cooler is the nismo's?

listen... Nismo people and Other package 370z's came to the world of the370z.com and Im not sure who was first "cough us cough" but i will give leave your section alone. I see im no longer wanted here :( fun visit though.

lol we all good just :stirthepot:

You don't have to leave for good. It is always fun to have debates over things. So you are always welcomed here as we are all Z owners.

Probably financial cuz our economy sucks. and yes people get bored. And yes we are watching you billet :eekdance: lol It's not just Nismo's there are more Z's for sale than Nismo's there's lots of Z's period.

Ok...hate all you want but....the Nismo is nothing special and its not even faster than a regular Z. A touring sport Z has more features and is nicer than the Nismo. Its just a base Z with a body kit and now people have realized its nothing special. I have said all all along that the Nismo "should be" to the 370 what the ZR1 is to the vette......and its not.

I agree with you to a certain point. THe nismo should of came with a twin turbo setup or at least putting out 400 HP. That is the only thing I wish the nismo had over the regular 370z. Other than that I am very happy with it.

I'm tired of this. Let me sum things up this way.....

I like my Nismo. I know its not faster, better, or more special than a regular Z.... It's just different. I like the difference. I don't feel entitled because I own one, I simply feel good about my purchase. I like your Z. I like my Z. Should Nissan have done more to the Nismo, Yes. Did they, No. Did I know then when I bought it, Yes.

:iagree: Well put. I feel the same way about my 40th.

I think its just people wanting a Z without really knowing what you get with a Z. Most people dont get that a sports car is suppost to be loud and it has some cabin noise. They just go out and buy one and think I'm going to get the one with the most HP. Then give the car a bad name by complaining about things that should have been understood when they bought the car.
Oh and on the non nismo vs nismo, I would have not bought a 370z if they did not offer a Nismo. I would have just stuck with my 300zx.

It's funny how the people who hate on the Nismo try and try again to say it's nothing special it's not any better you are a fool if you bought one. Fact is it is slightly better. We know it could have and should have been even more but for what it is it's pretty damn cool. You can make any car better we know and understand this. It's the fact it came from the factory as a complete package. Yes yes yes it needs more but to say it's not worth it is one thing to say people are fools for buying it is another. And once again It's more than just a body kit! Why buy a shelby gt500 for thousands more when you can get a GT and do the same bit and have it go faster. Why get a GT just get the V6 and supercharge it or turbos....Why buy anything just buy the base whatever and dress it up. yeah yeah yeah. For those of you that like doing that, GREAT. Some of us want it all straight from the manufactuer without having to do too much. On and on it goes...... There are more non nismos for sale than nismos. Probably the same ratio as production numbers. Is because when you see a Nismo somewhere it gets more attention than your standard Z.......... :driving: Attention NISSAN make the NISMO have way more HP than a standard Z next time. Then the Z owners won't be divided. P.S. should I get a base frontier or the pro 4x????

:facepalm:


omfg, here we go again....

I know right. :shakes head: :icon14: :driving:

:icon18:

And of all places in the nismo section. I dont understand why there is so much hate towards a trim model. I wonder if the GT/BASE mustang owners hate on shelby owners or the BASE/WRX guys hate on the STI owners. I came from this same exact thing with the last forum I was on for my sentra, and the only difference is, the car owners are older, and the reasons to hate are even more childish. OP, I would think most people either got in over there head with the car financially, or you just haven't noticed the other Z's being sold/totalled as of late.

Just let the players play and let the Haters hate! :)

it's kinda like in the tennis forum: if you play with the racquet that roger federer uses, some people would say, you're not good enough to use that racquet. sell that racquet and buy another one :)

some people in this thread have made mention that speed is the only thing that matters. or features..

if that was the case we'd all be driving used corvettes, turbo'd honda's, or a hyundai for features etc.

I like the way the Nismo looks but I got a touring sport w/ nav cus i wanted the features. Too many times people think that their decision making process is the only one the world should follow and well thats just plain douchebaggery.

As for the original topic, no. 1 reason why people are selling the 370z nismo or non nismo is probably regret. You see alot of people get this car on impulse because its good looking, because its nice to sit in, its nice to drive. They dont really think long or hard 6 months down the road about how their life would be every day with it. I think that this issue actually goes beyond simply this car and is an issue in the US society as a whole. but eh they gotta learn one way or another and no better way to teach em than make em lose alot of money when they sell it.

/\ very well stated, thank you.

(oh, and some folks apparently want to sell their new 370z as per some threads on here b/c they don't fit in them.:ugh2:)

I love the way the Nismo looks. If only it came with leather and Nav. :(

i use the garmin navi but as you know, the ride of the nismo is very harsh on imperfect roads so my garmin navi would bounce up and down like crazy during the trips :eekdance:

I love the the way the Nismo looks inside and out over any other model Z. That's why i bought it. Im sorry base model guys those fangs are not appealing, not even to the cars designer randy rod likes how it turned out. If there was one thing he'd change it'll be the front end.
Is the nav unit that much user friendly over having a portable nav? I personally like having a cubby storage in that location anyway.
Are the leather seats that much warmer in the winter and so more comfortable in blazing heat in the summer? Weights really not an issue either I guess. Im wondering if the Z offered a sun roof would you guys be all over that to?
Its pretty simple to figure out why ppl buy base model/touring Z over a Nismo Z.Cause of financial issues or your going to rape the car to its core of most its Oem parts and throw crazy amounts of expense aftermarket up grades on it.
The only thing im disappointed in was the exhaust on the Nismo. To me this Nismo was worth it. Cause its rare and original. I hate having what everyone has. You guys are right, there's mad hating towards us and im tired of reading posts on how Nismos aren't worth it.

for me...i was actually not considering any cars with leather seats. i absolutely hate them. they're cold in winter, hot in summer, and eventually start cracking and becoming harder as the leather ages. no amount of conditioner and lotion will stop it either. i prefer cloth anyday!

but i agree with the nismo exhaust...i was hoping itd be louder.

Chops, you proved my point exactly. On another note, I lived the moment when I did a leather seat swap.Ive learned that not only they weigh twice the weight. They make my back and butt itch when there heated. Lol. The only exception right now is the Jdm two tone suede Nismo seats. Best of both world plus you keep it OG.

Back on topic...... 370s are Not DD especially if you have a family. Maybe ppl realize it later after spending 40k - 30k its not as practical as they think. When you live in elements of weather this car should be parked. Sunny dry days with smooth pavement are the moments the Z outshines most cars. You can't just own a Z. You must have another vehicle. People are trading them in also cause they just can't afford the Insurance. I pay 519 a month helre in Nj! Matter of fact it cost me 1k just to drive this car a month. That's a house payment! Life is stressful enough let alone dealing with a car u can't afford and can't drive all the time. Car dealers will take full advantage of you as well. You end up regreting when you buy a car that can't handle in the rain,snow and cold climates. Most real good saleman aren't gonna tell you a Z isn't the right car. Their focus is the sale, not the blizzard outside.

Holy crap, 519 a month just for insurance? That is nearly as much as what I pay for 6 months. 640 dollars for 6 months for me.

ouch...i pay 400/6months. surprisingly my insurance company didnt charge more for the nismo versus the other 370z's. :)

How old are you?
