Slowly but surely more dbags from my350 will start filtering in... i've noticed alot of Nismo guys are getting rid of their cars, which is sad because the cars will be a collectors item down the road. And unfortunately with everyone trading their Z's in now, the depreciation rate will surely increase, just in time for Joe Dbag and his job as a fry cook at McDonalds, to now own a 370Z

The Z depreciates pretty fast and at an original MSRP in the low 30's for many models/trim levels is not an exclusive car. The only thing that keeps more hicks from owning them is the existance of the Camaro and Mustang. There is no "barrier to entry" with the 370Z, just more traditionally appealing teen-mobiles and hick-wagons.

And if this bothers you about the car you own, you've got issues.

Got news for ya. The Z is not a porsche. It's not a vette. It's not so expensive that it's exclusive or rare. Why did anyone buy a Z assuming that this would be the case?

Like Convert said, you can buy one in the low 30's.

And the Mustang will soon be the same.

I'm lucky I live where I do. No one here wants a Mustang, so my car is rare!

I live and work in the two richest counties in the US, so naturally the Porsche 911 is the most popular car here. If you can't afford a 911, you buy a 350Z or 370Z. I see probably 10 370s for every 1 5.0. I think I counted 11 370s on my way to work today. I probably see 50+ 350s in a day.

Further reinforcing Ken's initial impressions. Lots of smart people.

Mainly just posers. There aren't many enthusiasts around here. It's all about image. If you're not rolling in a Benz, BMW, or Bentley you're nothing!!!

I probably see 5-6 Bentleys on my daily commute.
