Its still an awesome car, but not a compelling financial value. Like it used to be.

Camry's etc go up because they keep technologically advancing every 2 years or so. The Z hasn't budged much in 5 model years.
The most significant upgrades have been, oil cooler and upgraded nav screen (if u buy it). Little things like heated mirrors, in cabin filter and upgraded shocks happened in 11: all of this is simple crap for a car company. I expect more for an average of $800-900 a year increase.

I understand you now but just to throw out there, the new Z base + sport is around 36K MSRP, not 39K like you said. Touring + Sport is 39K MSRP.

I just built one bruh... go back and try it. The touring non-sport is 39k. and your wrong cuz a fully loaded Z in 11 was 37.1k. im counting all accessories and auto trans. we have to look at the highest possible price. Anyone can strip a car down and say look its not that expensive.
Dude, be happy with your purchase, it's just my overall opinion. No big deal. Like i said, the Z holds dear to my heart. My gripe isnt on people who buy the new Z's. I dont think i own the better car. Im just upset cuz nissan never can give more bang for buck past the first 2 model years and they are cashing in on late bloomers. I think that strategy slows down progress and is bad for the company overall.... They been this way since the Z31 and they don't learn.

I'm glad you guys are buying Z's regardless, cuz in the overall. they are still excellent cars. And you guys are still Z brothers no matter what the front looks like or the cost.

lol... Thats pretty funny. My Z should be paid off for the 2014 model year. I'm hoping to add the Z35 to compliment the Z34 in 2015.

Dude, I am happy with my purchase. I have a 09 6TM fully loaded (sport + touring + nav). :ugh2: But again, I don't think the new Z is ugly as people make it look like. And yes, I understand you are upset because Nissan keeps increasing the price without improving the car as they should.

You are right about the price. I was only looking at one with manual transmission and without shipping cost.

I'm more upset they weren't competitive in how they refreshed the Z. A bunch of short-cuts. There were decent progressions over the years, nothing to write home about. but decent, though not reflecting the increases. 2013 was a time for nissan to step to the plate. Sports cars haven't been since competitive sine the 89-98 import wars. Not a time for half-assed refreshes. That's what i'm really upset about.

But I do thank the 13 and future 14 purchasers for the sacrifice and keeping the Z name alive. Everyone who contributes to purchasing one may may possibly be helping the next gen Z to be a better car??? For that I will give all Z owners love.

Hey thanks man. I'm was really into the looks the back of the Z back in '10; I wasn't into the fangs for some reason. Now the looks are stunning! I finally decided to purchase the '13. But I'm really unhappy about how much I paid; I paid close to 38K out the door including the 6/100,000 warranty...

Niccrock, Congrats on the 13 & Welcome to the Club!!! Gotta say I really enjoy my 13 :tup:
