Are 370 worth more now than when you bought it?
 

I checked several websites for the price on my Z and it seems like the Z is worth more than what i paid for it.

i have a 2010 sports package auto, bought brand new, currently 5000 miles on the odo. bought at $32500.

but now it's worth between $32500 and $34000.

is this for real?

I dont think its actually worth more but the site says for me that mine is worth 35.5k, but i cant pick a 2011 model so I cant get its actual value for mine

Your car is worth what someone will pay for it. And nobody is going to pay those prices. You can buy a new one for that.

Stop picking "excellent" condition. That's a good start to a more realistic value.

:iagree:

Your car is only in excellent condition if it is 100% garaged (i.e. NEVER driven), or wrapped and driven only on sunny, rainless days and 500' back from any vehicles. I think my Z06 BARELY qualifies and I drive it maybe 2-3 times a month on my days off.

Also, what some internet site says is worth what you paid for it unless the owner of the site is offering you a check for that amount.

+1 for sure. :)

It only worth as much as your attempt to get a sucker to buy your car at a high price...like a spoiled dumb rich kid who thought your car is a Porsche.

Ive also heard that used japanese car values are going up because of what happened in Japan with the recent disaster. Any truth to this?

This is the case with my nismo, but primary because I got it for a steal.

thats what i thought. before the disaster, there were 5 pages of used 370z's on craigslist. now only 1 and most are new.

I can't even sell mine at several grand less than that site claims it is worth.

you might get a little more than what kbb says. depending on your area..

i was at the dealership today and all they had on the lot was one used 350.
salesmen said i could maybe get top dollar on a trade in now because at
least in my area they are pretty rare right now. it doesn't matter anyway i'm
holding out for the next major revamp. and then it's either the new Z or
a corvette.

A car is worth whatever someone else will pay. But generally no, a car always depreciates in value except for some very rare circumstances of rare or unique cars becoming highly desired by rich people with more money than sense, and the vehicle becomes a work of art rather than transportation.

If you got your car for a great price, odds are everyone else is too. Maybe you could flip your car for a few grand extra, but then you'd have no car, would you? And you'd have to buy another one, maybe even at a higher price.

I have heard of people buying junkers and putting a lot of labor into fixing them up cheaply, and selling them up.

actually i'm thinking about trading in my Z for a new Cayman. if i could sell privately for more than what i paid, i would be happy, but i doubt it. in fact, if i could get $30K i would be really happy.

you wish lol:icon18:, I can buy a new one cheaper.. specialy for an auto, a friend just sold his for 26K with only 13k miles. actually you overpaid haha

It's just like baseball cards when I was little. I'd check the Beckett price guide and think I had a small fortune. Then you try to find someone to buy them and realize you just have pictures of people on cardboard.

No,i think is because U.S. dollars now very weak,Japanese Yens still very high.

26k for a car with 13k miles....

i paid 26 for a new one..

overpaid? i bought mine brand new.

The best part of this thread is people are now comparing used prices with different trim levels in different parts of the country...

I know due to the tsunami motorcycles from Japan are selling at a premium. I think the car market is just flooded. If someone seriously wants a Z they can do their research, find boards like this or even travel cross country for a good deal.

Just out of curiosity why the Cayman. I ponder this too but I would like to know your rationale.

What the Z is worth and what people will pay for it are two different stories...I really wish that people would buy these cars for what they're worth. It doesn't seem to be the case out here on Guam. I have two friends our here that have been trying to sell their Z's. One is a 2009 Montery blue 7AT Sports Package with 18K miles and is asking $27K.

I also have a friend that has a 2009 Base model with GTM TT Stage II kit installed and aftermarket exhaust that went as low as $24K...Both of these cars have been in the market for a few months already with no takers...

Out here these cars are only driven by either those that are single with $$$, those that have married/family but have $$$, or military personnel. It's not really a practicle vehicle for most people out here...Mostly everyone out here drives sedans, SUV's and trucks...Those who drive around in sports cars here do, because they can...Although many others would like to, its just not practicle for many, so the demand isn't really there.

Brand new Z with sport can be bought for 30k or less, and BTW my friend had a touring with sports pack.

I hear a lot of this on the forum. Makes me wonder...

Did I pay too much? Well yeah, probably could have gotten a better deal if I wanted to put the effort into it. But did I overpay by thousands? Seems unlikely.

Invoice is $33k for a base Z with sport package.

for 30k or less? sounds good.

Where do you get that number????

From "2009 / 2010 Nissan 370z invoice Price" sticky in the Pricing/Ordering section of the forums I'd imagine.

Ummm... Sure...except the 33k figure is higher than the what is given in that thread.............

is it auto or manual?

i doubt you can get a touring with sports for under $30k. give me the name of the dealer. i will get another one right away.

there was a thread here a while back asking what would z-owners get after their Z, I think most said the Cayman.

but i was already looking for the Cayman before i bought the Z, but i couldn't afford it.

why is it always a friend, never first person

are you stupid? ..i said a z with sports only , auto go for less cause of the demand. My friend sold his z has a touring sports. Get over it, you paid 32,5 for ur car, go to a dealer or Carmax and find out for yourself how much you can get for a trade in.

25k

edmunds.com invoice price on a 2011 with sport

the numbers are wrong...they don't even get the MSRP right...

So what's the correct #? I only saw pricing on the forum for 2009 and 2010 models. Nissan just raised the price a couple months ago I believe.

I checked kbb and it's $32,852 invoice and that includes $760 for destination. No other options like floor mats were selected. This is for a base 6MT plus sport package.

If the # isn't correct that's fine. If it is, I just don't see how folks are getting these for $3k under invoice.

show me a Z with sports and AUTO for less than $30K. you said auto go for less which means less than $30K. Prove it.

dont just say it without any proof. it makes you look stupid.

if you dont give me the name of the dealer or saleman's phone number, please dont bother to reply.

If what you said is true, i will buy another Z from that dealer immediately. I will fly there to get the car and drive back same weekend.

there's like 5-6 of those in the DC area right now. I had several quotes for an SP auto for 29.2, one for 30k OTD (VA 3% tax). They are 2010's, but hey, see you in DC...

Haha all you need to do is ask the members here, there's plenty. Btw I do have a fax for < 30k for a new z with sports... Wanna put some $$ on it???

Might as well go crash ur car to get another....only way you can afford another one.
