trade for a 370?
okay so a few months ago i was in the market for a new car shopped around a bit and ended up getting a brand new civic si. now iam thinking that it was one of the biggest mistakes of my life. my question to you guys is that do you think i could trade it in for a slightly used 370 with about 5,000$ on my part.
the si is in great condition. it was in a small fender bender where i had to replace the bumper but thats the only thing that has been wrong with it. thanks |
bone stock
I'd wait. The new Z is right around the corner (2013)
Either get the new 1 or clearance on the current 1. I traded a year old Si under 10k miles-I think it was for 80% of new keep it stock |
You could try posting something in this section:
Cars for sale (Private Classifieds) - Nissan 370Z Forum I think you might need to add a little more to get a 370z, but it's hard to say for sure. Only way to know is to try. |
that small fender bender will still put a bigger dent in the resale value of the car.
i read somewhere feb. - late march is like the best time to look for cars. might try to roll the dice and see what you can get if you're happy with the current model year. |
yeaaa the car is basically stock right now all it has is tints and a cai i bought springs for it but i dont think i am going to put them in. how much did your insurance go up when you bought your 370?

Honestly, you can't go wrong with the current model...and even if you do wait, it probably won't be THAT much different. I guess it all depends on how bad you and it and if your finances will allow it :) Happy hunting.

Im sure you could easily trade the Si for a used or new Z...
It is financially a bad move as you will lose thousands in the deal. Not worth it if you ask me but if you can afford it then go for it. You are the one making the payment. Personally I'd keep the Si for a few more years until what you owe is considerably less. I traded my '07 Si in for my 370... I had the Si 4 years and it was a great car. Good Luck. |
tons of old Honda guys are switching over, I have deff noticed that. Im a honda fan or was till they started puking out turd boxes. These guys are right, your so upside down in your car, your kinda stuck. Im eyeing buying a lightly used 370 which brought me to this forum but I owe nothing on my current cars which gives me all the time and power. I suggest waiting a year, if you still crave a Z in a years time, go for it! '13 is along time to wait for a new car so I wouldnt make that choice, hell the mayans said the world would end in '12 so buy the current model and have fun!:tup:

well my car is all paid off so thats not a problem and if i could get it for 5k on top of my car than that would be perfect for my budget.

Sounds like a New 370z is in your immediate future. :tup: |
time to go get a 10,000$ loan so i can get the car, a stillen oil cooler, g3 intake, meisterschaft exhaust and help pay the insurance a little bit :tup:
|
I'd be wary of the Meisterschaft exhaust. The dealer that sells them here in the US has been accused of copying other exhausts and marketing them as their own and vice versa.
Also, 1500 dollars for a stainless steel rear muffler section? I'd rather buy a full CBE. |
do it! if you finances permit, and if you have other options for bad weather days...and dont need a car w/ rear seats / trunk space...

I pay $1,680 a year for insurance in NY (Allstate) with a clean record (30 yrs. old). My rate actually went up recently ($1,920 a year) and I plan on switching. The lowest I could find (Geico) was $1,440 a year. This is full coverage. |
