Getting a Z soon!! :)
 

Well.. After being a member on this thread for over a year now I sold my CTS a few weeks ago and I am ready to find a 370z! I am so so excited and have already been paroozing craigslist and cars.com

Can't wait to get behind the wheel of one of these beasts!:rolleyes:

Get a 40th! They're awesome!!

Good luck on your search! :tiphat:

Sorry John ;-)

Autotrader is a good place to look as well. My :twocents:.

Yeah, watching autotrader is a great idea. That's what I did for 6 months. Also, get an automatic. You'll thank me later. :stirthepot:
















Just kidding. Get the one you really want.

:iagree: also a good way to get a feel for market/street price on used.

also check carmax. their no haggle price is high, but they have like a week of grace period where you can return the car if you dont like it.

I found the best price comparisons with cargurus.com - they give you an idea of whats on the market and based on that, if your car is a good deal or not.

Good luck in finding the Z that's perfect for you!

Cool sports car no doubt, but be prepared for it to feel "slow" if you're used to v8 muscle. It's deceptively quick though so watch your speed if you don't want lots of tickets.

everyone else hit the nail. shop around to feel out the prices and then when you see the one you want you'll know it's the one.

my experience was shopping around and then i saw one pop up in the last minute. i ended up buying that one!

oh one more thing that wasn't mentioned... if you can hold out until fall/winter you may be able to strike a better deal as owners want to off them.

"didnt even come close"...? what do you mean? Whats all done to your 40th to make his 370z not even come close

Getting a Z soon!! :)
 

The 40th is so awesomely awesome. I looked inside his z and it was so plain! No leather seats, no color at all inside.. It was a silvery white color on the outside, no spolier, 17in rims, whole back of the car was boring... As are most z's I see on the road here. Mine is a stock 40th nothing extra but makes such a statement next to a plain z..

Ohh and it was a automatic!! Does the z no justice with a automatic!! All z's should be stick!! :-)

I tend to agree the base Z looks a bit plain. Still a nice car though. NISMO body kit FTW.

Oh i see... Is it like the nismo where they color match the door handles, cup holder, and trim pieces are the shifter too? wasnt aware base 370z came with 17's

and nothing wrong with a 7AT~!:tup::tiphat:

Thats because base Z's come with 18's not 17's lol

370z Rules:
1. Do not buy the Nismo. It's an $8,000 body kit.
2. Buy the Sport package for the rev-match and wheels
3. Add a thermostatic oil cooler from Z1 motorsports if you even think of "pushing" the car.
4. Do not go to the racetrack without swapping brake fluid for MotulRBF600, and NOTHING else.
5. Fast Intentions is the exhaust you are supposed to buy.

thats what i thought!! lol

1. Not worth it new, but if you can get a good used deal jump on it. If price were equal, Sport wouldn't even be a consideration for most.
2. Yup. Plus the brakes.
3. Yup.
4. Yup.
5. Yup.

i don't have an oil cooler and i go spirited all the while. i did notice some timing being pulled during a relatively hot day (record breaking apparently) so that's nothing new.

i also disagree in a specific exhaust... not because it's a bad choice but it's really up to what your ears like. you as the driver, no one else decides that. (i do like FI tho...)

It's so hard to tell how good an exhaust sounds over a youtube video.. I like the price of Fast Intentions, but I am guessing in person it sounds pretty awesome?

youtube kills any real note but it is a good guage for reference. hopefully you have local's in your area that meet and you can ask them to take you for a spin around the block to hear the music :tup:

Good luck on your search!

good luck! i was on the forum for well over a year before i found the perfect car..

Get a Porsche.

Agree 100% with everything here. I have helped do three FI exhaust installs now and have only needed to spend an extra 15-20 minutes doing small light adjustments with hangers and shifting a piece here and there. otherwise they line up perfectly. The build quality is just excellent. I find it hard to beat that particular exhaust. When you want to be heard, you will be. Otherwise it just has a beautiful tone.

I am not one to side with the masses but FI did an awesome job with that one. And no, I'm not a fan-boy. Never bought the exhaust myself. Though I wish they would make one for my 911. Anyhow, good luck with your search.

I remember the feeling of looking for mine.

I wasnt even looking... I just knew what i always wanted when i went to the dealership. I wanted a special sports car.. Nothing like the norm but one that was unique. They tried to show me a camaro and another type of sports car, nothing was looking appealing... What started it was the dealership called me and asked me if they could buy back my altima. When i took it for an oil change they asked me if i would like to look. I did. They only one i would test drive was the 370z that was the afterthought. I told them i didnt even want to sit in the camaros.. The stick shift was intimidating at first but i knew when i got back that this car was special. It was like everything i ever wanted right there waiting for me. So the heckling began and the rest is history!! I found the ultimate z in my opinion:-)

I agree that the Nismo is expensive for what it is, but at least the 2015+ models have those awesome Recaro seats.
