Which 370Z to get?
Hey guys I am going to be in the market for a used 370Z in the next few weeks. I have already looked at a few on carsales.com.au (I am in Australia) and have found a few that I like.
My budget here is max $40000 AUD. Now there is a 2010 manual 370Z with some mods done to it and 33000 KM on the odometre. There is also a 2012 manual model that is stock, has no mods with aruond 35000 KMs on it. Now what would you guys reccomend to me? Should I look at getting a 2010 with mods or 2012 model with no mods, they are all around the same price here. Is there any reason not to get a 2010 model and go for a 2012 (max for my budget, 2013 is over $40K here). Thanks, would appreciate any input. |

I would get the un modded 2012. I pretty much only buy 1 owner non modified cars
You never know how a previous owner ragged a car out, or if they did, but if the car is modded you can certianly assume it was, at least ran pretty hard. Id rather not.

Sadly (depending on how you look at it) automatic base models are the fastest of the group... and you don't have the CSC issue to worry about.

And I just read up on the csc issues. Is this common for all 370Z's, even 2012-2013 models? Last edited by shadow85; 09-08-2015 at 02:34 AM. |

There was a time when manuals were better for avg consumers but only because auto tech hadnt caught up. Needless to say it didnt take much and now autos are killing it everywhere.

And lastly I have to install a breathaliser interlock device on it before I am allowed to drive, laws here in South Australia as I am having my license returned after being disqualified from drink driving lol. Not sure if they have a similar device in the US. And thanks people for the info about autos, I had imagined autos getting better over the years. Ill try and look for an auto but I actually don't mind if I get a manual. |

No problem daily driving it. Having said that, I kept my other car (an automatic) for daily driving and got the Z as a weekend toy with manual. I test drove the automatic Z and wasn't impressed with it. Other automatic cars seemed better if I was going automatic. But the manual Z is a totally different beast, feels very different to drive. Loads of fun. Don't decide this manual vs automatic question based of information on this forum or anywhere on the Internet. You will get different answers depending on who you ask. Test drive both yourself and see how they feel. When I did that, I found only the manual Z had that fun factor, the auto didn't have it. Your mileage may vary depending on what you find fun. So don't decide that and go shopping; instead, go shopping, test drive and decide. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
