People, even on this forum still fail to see that the value of the 370Z is not based on it's competitors, but the market it's self. Sales have been steady in the midst of Mustangs, Camaro's, Genesis's, Evo's, and STI's. Everyone wants a little bit of what makes another car great in their own car, then lose sight as to what makes the Z great. As a sports car, it is damn good at doing everything except carry more than two people! The Z works fine as a DD. The maintenance is not bad, it's very intimate and makes a great date car. Sports cars are like tits, everyone loves them. Might as well get one that actually looks like a sports car :) Look into Nissans VPP pricing to get an idea of what kind of deal you can get. And if you do purchase a Z, it's imperative you buy it with a sport package, don't consider it an option. Expect to pay a lot for replacement tires and oil changes using good oil (I stick with Nissans Ester & Redline).

I guess "steady" is relative:


2009:13,117

2010:10,215

2011:7328

2012:7338

Sales have stabilized around around the same levels within 1H and 2H from 2011 on, but there was pronounced impact from other cars being introduced before that.

Get the Z!! if you live in an area with snow in the winter you will need winter tires, or a winter beater car. I have winter tires on my Z (blizzak LM-60's) and it preformed great in the last snowstorm. I dd my Z and have about a 70 mile round trip to work each day. I put a pretty decent amount of miles on it and it has preformed excelent with no problems at all so far....only had it 10 months but still..I do about 70% highway driving and get 23 mpg. I would recommend getting a clear front bumper bra if you get a Z as the nissan paint isnt known to be the best. I regret not getting one when I bought the car, I'll probably get one at some point if I get the paint corrected. Anyways, GET THE Z!!!!:worship:
