Keep 2015 or change to 2016
 

Long story but basically I have a chance to get the dealer to rescind the contract and take my NISMO back with no mileage or use offset, including returning my down payment and any payments made while they pay the note and take the car back. I would intend to immediately re-buy a 2016, pending availability of white (I see a couple on Nissan's site).

the question is should I?

Pro:

1) new car again
2) Do-over on rock chips and curbed rim I never fixed
3) better built? No CSC issue? Seems unlikely...

Con:

1) inconvenience
2) break-in again
3) CSC again?
4) risk white not being available
5) Possibly not built as well? Outside of the CSC issue fixed, haven't had any issues.


The Bose engine audio thing sounds a bit retarded to me. I would turn if it off if I could but otherwise no change. Minor charge for white (dumb) but think I could be quite aggressive with about $10k down...

Thoughts?

Why would you do that? I'm missing something here.

The only reason I can see giving the car back is to get new features (I think they can pump in engine noise through the stereo in the 16s :rolleyes:) or if you just really have something against the car you're in currently (for whatever reason). Otherwise, it's probably not worth your hassle.

lemon?

No the car is fine. I was less than satisfied with the dealer and their offer is to rescind. I'm not sure it's worth the hassle...

i dont know how long u keep your cars, but if i had the opportunity to do something like that where my cars had chips and curbed wheels, i would go through the hassle and get a new one.

The CSC issue is not fixed on 2016 by the way. Many here have reported 2016s with CSC failures at very low mileage.

Or wait for the Z35.

:iagree:

I'd def go new, if the contract was the same

If you don't have to come up with even $1 to trade and get a year newer, you're essentially making money: making back a years worth of depreciation.

My 16' had CSC issue with 1,100 miles...

My 2015 has 1.1k dont say this. Ima cry if csc fails this soon

My 2015 CSC failed at just over 2000

New car, new start date on all the warrenty, less milage, no damage.
v.
Hassle

Not much of a choice there imo.

If the CSC already failed, the cost to repair the rim and since the new ride would have NO mileage; worth the hassle and like someone mentioned earlier - you would be making back some of the money. I would risk not being able to get another one in white if it were me; even silver or gun metal I would be happy with but I do love the 370z (particularly the Nismo in white LOL).

Good luck.

If the CSC does go out, you still have the warranty. So all is good. Provided the contract is the same, I would get the new one.

Local nismo sitting at the dealer for $49,000.. That's a joke

WHAT?? You're joking right :confused:?

:iagree:

Regarding all the CSC talk, here is something to consider. Make of it what you will. This quote is from Ryan, the producer of the RJM adjustable clutch pedal. It's part of post #258 from the following thread: http://www.the370z.com/drivetrain-en...stroke-18.html

"The RJM pedal safely and effectively reduces master cylinder stroke volume and lowers the engagement point taking away that excess CSC stroke that leads to failures. This reduction of MC & CSC stroke when installing an RJM pedal is why the stress on the factory CSC is greatly reduced to where the CSC is no longer in danger of maxing out and popping the seals with every stroke and there's less overall seal wear for a longer overall service life."

If anyone is that concerned with the eventual failure of the CSC, a preventive step is to install the RJM clutch pedal and enjoy the side (or main, depending upon how you see it) benefit of having smooth and consistent gear changes and clutch engagement, which a stock 370Z certainly doesn't have.

Not for no freakin nissan:shakes head:

Why does The Clifford always :iagree: with the Z-Girl ;)

I don't know about you, but I would gladly pay $49K for a new GTR........:tup:

Oh yeah mw too...

I thought about this too; however, there is someone in the CSC sticky that has experienced a CSC failure 7,000 miles post RJM pedal install.

FWIW, my CSC is still fine after 45k miles, 5 years, and lots of track days. That said, I am replacing it with a ZSpeed HD CSC, which seems like a better long term fix than just changing the pedal.

And to the OP, if you have the opportunity to trade up to a newer model year at no cost, do it!

So did you figure out what you're going to do?

The most important question is whether you still like the car?

If so, I would go with the new 2016 providing you get the similar discount as the 2015 you are returning.

49k for a NISMO?? Lol. Too funny. Makes really appreciate my Hyundai. Nissan...you're on drugs. Enter the 300Z....idiots.
