Received a letter from my local Nissan dealer yesterday and a voicemail today wanting my Z :gtfo2: as a trade or to buy it outright at “full market value” :roflpuke2:

I am not sure how it's like in the USA, but in Canada a 370Z is as rare as a Porsche. Actually scratch that, I see Porsches way more often. Here, I see a 370Z as often as I see a Lambo.

I can attest to that fact. In Canada, 370z’s are rare. It is one of the main reasons I bought one. In the 5 years I’ve owned my Nismo, I’ve only seen another one maybe twice.

Check out this recent vid from Savagegeese. Very interesting and I completely agree!

I like the current version's looks better than the Z Proto. However, if the new Z has a price that is within +/- $2K of a used one, I would consider a trade. At least for some of us the price of the new model may be more relevant than the used car prices.
I do not want to sell mine but trading up to a new one does depend on the net price difference. That said, I do have two to choose from if I wanted to trade up, so I would still keep one from the current generation.

All bubbles will pop. The trick is not to get greedy.

I had three “kids” ask me last week alone at stoplights, supermarkets etc. if I wanted to sell Daizy. I got an offer for $36,000 which is more than I payed for it 4 years ago, but.... what do I replace it with? Another overpriced used car?

I really want the 400z, but I can’t justify it. The only thing that really entices me is the twin turbo and the factory warranty.

That being said, I’ll probably put $10,000 into a supercharger and call it a day.

It's official, the new Z will start at 40k USD for the base model!

This is great news for Z34 owners, as the new model will not be exerting downward price pressure on Z34s since it's priced like a different class of vehicle.
