I'm all for this -- it's a swift kick in the plums to the competition.

First, the is based on the current price you can buy new. If the new prices drops 30% so does the resale baseline.

Second, you want more Z's on the road? Aka mustang style? I see some benefits like aftermarket parts, but still.

I don't mean it like that...i just mean for anyone that purchased new in the past...compared to anyone that purchases new now going forward..

Also, if "NEW" prices drop, then used prices will as well. You can't expect to sell a used car for the same price as a new...

Looks like Europe only so far

A refund is in order

ZMan8 · 03-22-2013, 07:36 PM

If its only europe you guys need to understand it was ridiculously overpriced there from the begining. A used 2 year old 40th anniv at a dealership in germany was selling for almost $50, 000. My cousin, a sales manager at that german dealer , said most likely it will sell for $45k. The equivalant here would be about 28-32k.

this man is talking sense

EDIT:
Then again, I'd love a refund

Ziggyman · 03-23-2013, 08:53 PM

At the current exchange rate that's still $43K plus dollars. Not to worry about residuals here yet.

i seriously doubt they will target the european market, japanese cars are not as popular there compare to lets say asia or the U.S.

If they are really gonna do a price drop it will definitely be a global thing, i dont see why they will only do it for the european market to be honest.

IMHO, it is more likely to be the U.S market cause the import fees are not as ridiculous as other countries, we will still be the biggest market outside of japan

Boooooo, I like being the only 370Z I see going to work and back. Its looses its prestige if everyone gets it.

Z370Z011 · 03-22-2013, 08:29 PM

meh, our cars will break down before we ever see a refund. lol

Car sales in Europe are very depressed which probably explains the price reduction.

Wow, that SUCKS

Over priced in Europe to begin with plus, they have to reduce inventory.

peleincubus · 03-23-2013, 03:06 PM

I doubt it is but if this is the case in the US hooray. You never no the yen < dollar exchange rate has dropped a ton this past 12 months or so. And Japan is doing it for this very reason to help exports.
