Nissan 370Z Forum  

Is the market for the Zs really soft right now?

If anyone wanted real talk, my analysis is as follows. No one that can "afford" a 20k+ used Z is going to buy one and will get a Porsche/m3/4/Corvette instead,

If anyone wanted real talk, my analysis is as follows.

No one that can "afford" a 20k+ used Z is going to buy one and will get a Porsche/m3/4/Corvette instead, especially from a private party. Or a new C7 Corvette on 60 month stretch pay considering you can get one for less than 50k now.

The Z is stuck in a shitty market place at the moment, it is not cheap enough to be ragged on by high schoolers, and it is not expensive enough for those that have the money to buy it, because they will go other directions.

This has nothing to do with the transmission and or color of the car, those are personal preferences.

I like it because of the history. It is different from other cars and the used 370z are getting below 20k. Its still a looker. If you want a fast car buy 1 and quit wasting your money with upgrades, just go buy a corvette.

I sold my M3 then bought the Z and $20K+ isn't going to get you one of those on your list without potential huge repair bills down the road.

My Z (3rd Z, PW/Persimmon) has full options with 6MT and I love that color combo. There is a lot of car for the money. As for as color and transmission choice, it is a matter of personal preference. All you need is just one buyer to get the car sold.

I personal think your car is nice and i would definitely consider it if I was looking for an auto.
