The new Z fixes a lot of issues 'out of the box' for people. The styling is growing on me and it offers what we all wanted 5yrs ago - a better interior and twins in the engine. As for the depreciation of the 370z - honestly with the current market - its SO HARD to figure out what is real and what is fake.
For instance - when I tried to sell my Z with 20k miles on it (2017 Nismo 6MT) several years ago (pre pandemic) - I was offered something like $23k from CarMax - that same car a year ago with 40k miles on the ODO - was fetching $31k. Sooo....I think once the market goes back to normal - I believe the Z values will tank again. My reasoning for this is that it's a 2 seater sports car with no backseat or real room/trunk so the demand for it is going to be less than lets say a SUV. The other thing is - the base model offers A LOT for MSRP - $40k gets you the twins, upgraded interior (especially compared to the 370Z) - this price point will offer a lot in the way of modding/replacing out the 'weak points' such as exhaust, wheels and tires along with adding a real LSD. As they say - if you love your car - it doesn't matter what others think. I just see myself (after the market corrects itself) looking at a slightly used one and building it from there - the main piece (the engine) is there. As for SC/Turboing the current Z - might be considered 'blasphemy' but....any car manufacturer's engine will be more reliable from the factory than adding a 3rd party turbo/SC kit to an existing engine. Not to say that it won't be reliable - but...**** happens and there is no warranty when it does. Just my .02 (with that statement - I am still 'considering' SC/turboing my Z haha) |
