2013 vs 2019 Z...wow

Don’t bash the 7A/T until you’ve tried them, as they are definitely quicker on the lower end

My intentions were never to bash his auto and all I said is that he wanted a sprint booster and I hope if he does get it, it performs as well as it does in my 6 speed. I would never buy an automatic car because I like to drive a car not just aim it, again no offense.
I guess I never got my point across and that is that the 2 vehicles were built 6 years apart and nothing has changed. Those on the Nissan assembly line probably can put a Z together with their eyes closed. The only thing I noticed is the price that has gone up astronomically and... why?

I went from an auto ‘09 Z to a manual ‘13 Z. Nothing against auto, since they are quicker in terms of gear changes, but I did miss rowing thru the gears and made the switch. The auto tranny in the Z is solid and felt good, but like you, I like to drive the car.

In terms of price, that’s inflation for ya. Cost of living is going up.

Inflation?..but let's say the assembly line made 10 Z's in Dec. but only shipped 1, come Jan they can release the other 9 at a higher price and it's the same vehicle. I bought my Z in 2014. The Z was a leftover 2013 with 8 miles mostly driven in the lot as it was a very snowy year so it didn't sell. The day I picked it up there was this 2014 with 2 miles and was selling for over 2k more..?? It was my lucky day I guess..

Based on this, my guess is this: there are 2 Z’s on the lot, one 2013 and the other 2014 (this is provided both are exactly the same). If they are priced the same, chances are that 2013 Z will sit for a while, thus marking up the 2014 to have the buyer feel like they are getting a deal for the 2013. In the off chance the higher prices 2014 sells over the less expensive 2013, well they just made more money.

Indeed, if I didn't ask I would have thought both were the same year, but when he told me that they could not get any more 2014 Z's unless they sold the '13 I would have bought the blue one for 2k more. So I got my company's employee discount and a few rebates plus the fact that now it was a year old car and my taxes were lower. I was a happy camper, even thou I hate camping. BTW I did a research online to see if either was a demo and the blue one '14 was assigned to the sales manager as a demo...to be taken by him that same day and most probably abused
