Best Year for the 370Z

OptionZero

buying a 2020 means paying a dealer for 2020 prices
which is pretty dumb since every year is nearly the same

the best year is the year of the cheapest, best condition one near you

the only reason decision is:

Do I want the Nismo v1 body kit?
Do I want the NIsmo v2 body kit?
Do I want an aftermarket body kit (buy the base one and throw the bumpers away)?

Not when you live in Canada. $30,500 CAD for my base model = $22,500 USD for a brand new vehicle with all the latest part numbers with a warranty.

Hey, it's your money. Do what you want with it.

As the other poster said, it's your money! Your decision to make. However, I just bought a 2019 base with 39,000km for 21,5000 CAD = 16,315 USD from a GM dealer, and I'm happy to have that 9,000 left in my pocket!

I do agree with you....the blackened lights - and black exhaust panels surprisingly make a big difference to me. In fact, I did not like the black rims until I saw it with the new combo....I hated black rims (reminds me of winter steelies) - but they match well with the other small changes. I know also that many prefer the old fangs, but I like the bright DRL LED's, I think it modernizes the look. Of course all of those are minor subjective cosmetics.

That's a pretty good price! But I live in Vancouver where everything is overpriced. I remember seeing a used 2019 like yours from a Subaru dealer on Autotrader here and it was $26000. For that price differential, a new one just made sense.

Anyways, everywhere I go, I see people driving around in fully loaded Honda Civic Touring models that also cost $30k CAD. Even after having paid full price for my new 370z, I have no issues with it whatsoever when I consider I purchased a brand new, 6-cylinder, 2 seat sports car for the price of a Civic. Where else can you get that?

Oh believe me, here in Alberta, that kind of price is asked for too.....it's one of the reasons I couldn't pass it up once I got them to that price, even though I hadn't planned to buy now. At one point, I said I may pass and wait till next year, and they came down more - they admitted later, they always have cars they didn't want to keep over the winter....

Yes, I can certainly see why for 4000 difference you might well just go new.

Agreed. It's a great value - and actually quite rare here. During the summer you see them here....but not all that often. It's a land of SUV, truck, corollas, civics, and luxury cars...... In the last month, I have had a ton of compliments and people looking - which I did not expect lol. A new(er) Z still catches people's eye in this land of boring vehicles....

The base is so barebones - but at least they come with the backup camera now. In any case, I'm not driving it for tech or comforts - which I could always add later. Wouldn't have minded having the LSD, but I'm not going to the track, and for the street, I don't need it even for aggressive driving! :-)
