Is the market for the Zs really soft right now?

Why has the Honda S2000 been able to keep it's resell value tho? and its much older than the Z. I don't get it

I love my automatic, coming from a Por car I think this year they are all PDK automatics, no MT from what I read..

These are two different cars, different stories behind it, it has been discontinued, and there's not a lot of them out there that are in decent shape either so of course the price will hold for a well kept S2k. Compare that to a 350Z vert and that'll tell you another story.

Right now the competition is tough for the Z. I say just enjoy the Z for what it is. It is a great car regardless of where it sits in the market place.

Those values are getting soft now also... the halo days for most sports cars are done now. The market has gotten saturated.

We have to remember here that from 08-11 everyone unloaded the sports cars to be more sensible, and now it is like the reverse happening... Everyone was trying to get their "babys" back from the crisis.

Because its discontinued and its a great car(nothing quite like it on the market) and they didn't make that many. But only the AP2s hold their value unless you have an AP1 that has low miles and has been garaged all its life. Maybe if they discontinue the Z it will have the same affect on our cars since they didn't make that many 370z's, compared to the 350z of course. It would kind of be like AP2(370z) vs AP1(350z) in resell value. But this is all just wishful thinking of course.
