2009 370z trade in for 2011
 

I am having a hard time deciding if I want to trade my 09 370z for a new 2011z
I currently have the Touring model with 16k on it. I have been looking to upgrade to Touring with sport package.

Besides the spoiler, bigger breaks and wheels what else is different?

I wont be getting the Nav unit since I don't care for that you cant get lost in El Paso. :tup:

sync rev match

Limited slip diff.

Bose system:shakes head:

Don't do it. It's not worth the $7 or 8K extra you will be having to pay for the depreciation and the sport package price. Just keep the Z you have now and buy aftermarket. If you really must trade it in, then at least wait another year when Nissan usually does it's usual midcycle refresh.

Neither my business or my money but I wouldn't spend to do it. The cars just aren't different enough to justify the big bucks they'll extract from you.

Wait 2 more years for a 390Z

:iagree: if you can hold out wait one more model year. nissan will refresh it by then

Welcome lost here in el paso too. What color you got. I mainly hang out on 375. I'll give you a friendly wave if I see you.

My car color is Brilliant silver. I will give you the wave when I see you. I mostly run around 375 as well as most of my friends live on the east and I live on the northeast.

I don't normally like to give people my thoughts on what they do with their own money, but since you're asking ... trading an 09 in on an 11 is financially irresponsible.

I would just get a LSD, 19" wheelset, and BBK instead of buying a new car...

2011 has heated mirrors and rear view cam (with nav). Unless you really want gun metallic, not worth what you have to pay on top of trade.

Trading in is a bad idea because you're going to get about 30% less for your car than it's worth. Sell it private party. Second, there's a shortage of used cars in the market now so it should be easier than ever to sell your car on Autotrader, or the like. I sold my '99 Chrysler 300M two days after the ad went live and had multiple offers. I got 50% more than what the dealer offered me ($3,300 versus $2,200). That being said, trading in a 2-year old car is a bad idea because you've already absorbed the worst amount of the depreciation cycle. A financial planner would tell you to wait two years, sell your car private party and buy the then used 2011 in 2013 from some schlep who's willing to eat the depreciation, not you.

Why do I hear a lot of people assuming a refresh will be done for 370z next year or two? If I am not wrong, the 350z kept the same base from 2002–2009. Consider the market for the 370z is not as good as 350z, I don't think Nissan is going to do much to it soon.

Anyways, if you have money to waste, then do it so you can be satisfy.
