The dealership (same one i got the truck from) would only give me $22,000 for it and wouldnt budge. My gf wanted to go check out a Chevy Cruze (no way in hell i was buying one but i went with her) They offerd me $23,000k. I looked at a STi, that dealership offerd me $26,000...i ended up getting the Evo and traded the truck in for $24,000.

So the dealership that i traded in my 370z for would only give me $22,000 and wouldnt budge on the trade in or the price of the truck i was looking at...but i got offerd as high as 26,000 for the truck. So yea i then realised i got screwed on the trade in for the 370z. But even so, the Evo still has a better trade in/resale value over the Z.

i have to go home and check, but my time was in the mid 13s.

you live in edmonton, wonder why they wouldnt take a z.........

Funny, there are barely any 370z's in my area.

wdkwang · 08-31-2011, 05:04 PM

Ive noticed more 240's ever since the 370 came out

It's my only car, so it's my DD, but I commute 50 miles total every day. The gas mileage is ok, but with the tank size and gas prices right now it's just getting to me. I didn't buy the car expecting to get great gas mileage, but I have zero free time to take it to the track/mod it, which seems like what this car is meant for. The ride is also a bit rough around the edges.

I'm just curious, on a DD level, how the 370z compares to the X. Has anyone driven both? I haven't had a chance to go test-drive one myself, but I'm thinking about it. Also, over the year, is it cheaper to own a 370z? I know MSRP price tags are about the same, but if maintenance/mileage/comfort are far superior I might make the switch.

If anyone has own/driven both these cars I would love to hear their opinions. The other car I was looking at was a new Scion TC. I know it's not the best car in the bunch, but it's good gas mileage and I plan on getting a bike, so my fun could come from that.

Thanks for any and all help/advice!

I drive 41 miles one way right now so 81 miles (used to be 50 each way so 100 miles) going into L.A. Honestly 50 miles doesn't seem like a long commute at all.

That being said the 370z has made my commute a *lot* more livable. Have not driven a EVO X but I did come from a '06 Subaru impreza. Granted it was not the WRX/STI so way less power but I think the interior/ride would be fairly similar. I enjoy my commute with the Z a hell of a lot more.

The 19 gallon tank is nice as it means I usually only have to fill up once a week. Getting 100 less miles per tank on my Subaru was definitely annoying. Amazingly the non turbo got worse gas mileage than my 370z did.

Of course I am in Socal with no snow (almost never).

EDIT:

LOL and I just realized I was responding to a thread from last year. Thanks |samu for bumping such an old thread.

On another note, I've been considering trading my car for an evo x.

But can't seem to let the z go ....

kidkotic2001 · 07-31-2012, 11:15 AM

I have had both got rid of the X since I did not use it much. I live in Texas it never snows and we barely see rain at least in my part of the state. I think that Z is a good DD.

Th3 On3 · 07-31-2012, 12:14 PM

I'm in Texas also it's always dry whether here. I love my car as a DD.

The spouse is the one that hates my car. =\

I don't agree, at least completely, with the idea of the 370Z as a three-season car. I had a car with similar tires, RWD, front air dam, good power-to-weight ratio, summer (Goodyear NCT) tires, and drove it through several bad northern Ohio winters, one with snow over a foot many times. Once drove it home from Georgia to Ohio in the middle of the worst blizzard the mountains had suffered in years. For more than an hour, I was the only person on the road aside from a semi-trailer. The off-ramps were heavily snowed in and the traffic non-existent, so I just stopped and peed in the middle of the highway. Nobody around to see. I suspect the Z would have gotten me home, too. Just as Ayrton Senna drove in the rain, one can drive in the snow, too. You just have to adapt and be very smooth.
