Not a Priority?

The sooner you realize nissan does not care the sooner you will let go. Just look what they did to the GTR.... my local dealer hasnt sold one in 4 months lol. I loved my Z but getting out of that thing was the greatest decision i ever made. Nissan makes wonderful sports cars and milks every last dime and penny until no longer, i get that they arent special cars but for a 100k car like the gtr to be worth less than 76k in 2 years and 20k miles is beyond ridiculous, theyre economy car line up is also awful, owning a sentra and recent year maxima idk why in hell anyone would buy that over a toyota or honda. that being said i still am looking to get into a Z lololol

SINISTER

Wait ....

You just confirmed that although everyone wants new, in the end the Z is the best looking, best priced, most reliable performance car you can buy.

Yes and no, I love the Z cars always have so i am bias. the Z is a great car but its far and behind in many categories these days, hell my 4d is faster.. has real trunk space and corners 10x better, and it was had for the mrsp of a sport Z. I would get in one but a used one IF that. I agree with looks and reliability but penny for penny it definitely is not, the GT, SS, are a few examples of cars that though are not "REAL" sports cars are far faster and handle better... something a sports car should dominate in. Though people say a car is not an investment doesn't mean the value should go to **** completely... just look at subaru [=

That's nothing. The new $100k ZO6 only has 53% residual value after a 3 yr lease. Any German north of 50k loses half value after 3 yrs also.

The GTR actually holds value.

The Z holds value even better. I sold my 4.5 yr old 370z for 50% msrp

DavidZ370

Agree for the most part minus the GTR holding value.

ssmoked

What's your evidence it doesn't? Have you searched used GTR inventory/price recently? Unless it has very miles, even 09' are asking well over 50k

DavidZ370

Thats atrocious....... idk why you think in anyway thats remotely good, theres a local 2014 going for 68k with 33k miles lol..... why? because nissan did what nissan does, milk the **** out of the GTR. Not saying its not a great car, just saying nissan as a whole has a way of destroying the market for them. The car holds less value than the most base subaru you can ever find lol.

ssmoked

What? You expect a mass produced car to gain in value after 33k miles?

Look at exotics and how fast they plummet in value. Especially if 33k on the clock

MacCool

Not anymore. The residual value today on a 2017 Z is $15,600.

ssmoked

Right. On a very base 29,900 car.

But hopefully you are able to negotiate at least 25% off during purchase (22,425 after 25% discount). Which nets to adjusted 69% residual after 3 years. Not bad at all considering either discontinue or complete TT engine overhaul next year or so

ssmoked

Before anyone say you can't get that type of deal...

Must be a Florida thing?
Here in Washington State within 500 miles the lowest price is $27,995 for base 2017

ssmoked

If you pull up that ad to nearby dealers and ask them to match, I am sure they will

SINISTER

Residual value should be the value expected to sell. No way residual value is 15,600 not even a 2016 is that low......find me a 2017 for that low a price anywhere.

I just did a nationwide search for 2016 model and 2017 model and the lowest price one in the nation is 20k and 2017 is 23k and they are base models... That's a long way off from 15600....

Here's lease pricing from Nissan Acceptance Corporation on a 2017 Sport Tech. I did mis-speak and I apologize. I misrepresentedt the residual value by $350. Note that Nissan's guess at residual value in three years is $15,945.
