Considering a Z

gmag21

Im only 19 and I got on 4 test drives- 2 from the same dealership and 2 from 2 other dealerships - dont ask how but just know im good

Im getting the car in june, cant wait

Maxima09

What Id be looking for in the 370Z is to get back to higher HP and RWD...but I want all the luxury and plush of the Maxima..so.what options do I get?

Test drive the 7AT Touring Sport with Nav, it should have all the amenities that you're used to.

Maxima09

Yeah I will. I like the Silver/Black color combo...7AT, Touring with Sport and Nav...Going to see what kind of deal I can get. How far down from MSRP do they come on the Z? I got over 3k off the Max...

You should be able to get pretty close to invoice, possibly a little under. See the invoice pricing here:

How will this all work if I still have a balance on the Maxima? Will Nissan take care of this? Also...Sticker on the Max was 35,500 I paid 32 + TTL so 35k out the door. I want NO LESS than 30k on the trade...only has 3k miles on it.

look at kbb.com and find out how much your car is worth (trade in value). I love the new Maximas.

You're going to be "upside down" most likely, unless your balance on the Maxima is very small. The sticker on the Maxima is immaterial at this point, the used car manager at the Nissan dealership will use a KBB value or arbitrarily give a trade-in value. You know that cliche, "as soon as you drive a new car off the lot it automatically loses $5,000"? This isn't far from the truth.

For example, say your loan balance on the Maxima is $27,000; and the used car manager says, "this car is only worth $25,000," then you are $2,000 upside-down. So if you put $7,000 down towards a Z, then only $5,000 will apply to it.

I say keep your Maxima and consider a Z or another car when you're done paying it off.

This screams that you want a Infiniti G37, not a Z.. the G's got a lot more plushy feeling when I compare my friends 37 to my Z. Same performance, more plush. The Z's going to outhandle and go faster stock for stock though because of a lot of reasons.

You get yourself something like an M3, or an E55 AMG.
