Torn between which Z to buy tomorrow. Advice appreciated.
 

I'm going to be checking out 2 370z's tomorrow morning. Im leaning towards the white car because i prefer white cars... so i'd have to get the black car wrapped white. I don't like the idea of the wrap possibly because I've never wrapped a car in the first place:confused:? but i do like the fact that in the future wrapping parts is simpler and cheaper then getting it painted.

I also heard the 2013 got improved with an oil cooler and the ride is quieter? Not sure if its quieter due to improved deadening in the car or just tires where changed from factory. That is also another reason for leaning towards the white because of color and quieter ride.

Although the black car does have some mods that will save me money and is cheaper itself too so i don't have to spend quite allot and save money in the long run.

Any advice or input would be very helpful. Am i accurate about the oil cooler and quieter ride? if so how was the quieter ride achieved because if its what im assuming the tires being changed then i could always just get better tires anyway.

EDIT: Canadian Cars!. Both are manual transmission and touring sport.

370z #1 27,000 [tax included]
Year: 2011
Miles: 40,000
Color: Black car/orange interior
Mods
Intakes

(i cant tell the brand by the picture)


370z #2 30,500 [tax included]

What models? Sport? 6mt?

I wouldn't buy one without the sport package (mainly for the brakes)

Sorry forgot to mention that. Thanks! I edited the first post.

Both are manual transmission. Black is sport model. White is touring sport. I don't care for the nav/bose sound (heard bose sound make aftermaket audio installations a pain anyway) but the heated seats would've been nice

Are these USD$ prices?

Canadian Models & Price

If it has the orange interior it is also touring and has Bose but probably just not the Nav option and should have heated seats as well.

If you can get the price down a bit on the black one, pick that one. But not if you're going to wrap it.

That would really help put my mind at ease a bit, kinda like the heated seats. I just couldn't tell from the pictures since they really didn't show much of the cabin and the area where the heated seats switch is was covered by the handbrake i think :icon17:

The 27,000 (with tax included already) was the negotiated price :icon17:
It was originally priced at 29,900 and i was just like wtf? overpriced much so i showed them that they are pricing it ridiculously high based on the same cars out there for a better price and i got them to go down to 27, but im sure i can get it a tad lower when i see them.

What do you mean but not if im going to wrap it

I'm assuming the vinal wrap is going to cost a bit, so might make the final cost high vs the white one. I actually think the black/orange combo is cool.

It would yeah but would still come out cheaper then the white. I have a friend who does wraps and a very good job. the wrap based on the car size would be anywhere from 1k to max 2k.

Also, if the black ends up being the touring also like zeeder said, the only thing that the white has going for it is the quieter ride and oil cooler.

I do also like the black and orange but my end goal is white and red tbh :P

Yeah, I understand... my Z is white. :tiphat:

I just love the white car with black accents and door handles etc.. :tup:

Also anyone has anything they'd like to add, im open to all input and suggestions im all ears!

Now my last question is, the 2013 is it really quieter? if so how was it done? I'm just assuming tires but who knows!

The PW will not have any steering lock issue. The interior isn't white. More like light grey. The cooler isn't really a cooler.

I thought the Steering lock issue was just 09-10. I think i skimmed through that thread and the talk was just pull out some sort of fuse to avoid it all together or maybe i misread it.

It's '12 on.

#2.

it is a moot point if you haven't seen and test driven the cars......

there are so many variables with used cars other than just the price and options.

any reason for the white? :tup:

Yes, you are right. I have checked out the white car, I'm going to check out the black one tomorrow. l feel like i know which im going to get but then i think the other is better. I've really been going back and fourth, i just really wanted the communities opinion, you never know in case there was something i haven't thought, for example like what axmea? brought up. I didn't know that before but now i do.

None I can think of. ;)

Fair enough! :icon17: I cant really sleep lmao. 5.5 hours till i go see the black and possibly make my decision this weekend.

But so far everything has been great and honestly appreciate all the input and such from everyone no matter how big or small! :tiphat:

#1 !!!

I wish I could have found a black sport with the orange interior when I was shopping for my Z.
Good luck finding another one of these for sale. I never see them.

So which one did you choose? Come on man, I've got $$$$ on this!!! LoL!

I ended up going with the Black and orange. :icon17: I was able to get it down another 1k. Pretty much 23k Without tax and 26k After tax.

Also it ended up acually having KW coilovers, so bonus for that!! Seems the original owner put some decent parts on this car. The exhaust sounded great, no drone and still quiet when you want it to be

Thanks everyone for all the input! Hopefully its smooth sailing till i get the car! :tiphat: Possibly this week or max next weekend!

Nice work on the price negotiation. Congrats!

Ps, I just scored major jack!!!!

Now you'll never know the pleasures of the pearl.

yeah... the pearl white is very pretty under the sunlight :p

Now post up some pictures of the new ride!! :tup:

Photos!!!

Never seen one in person with that combo, congrats!

I know :shakes head: but a wrap will have to do for now, but the black is slowly growing on me so we shall see!

Some administrative stuff... paper work and such is left to do and hoping if all goes good i can get the car by next weekend since the car is 2 hours away from me and i work.
