Huge Price Drop on Z! Making it more Affordable for FRS/BRZ buyers!

cheshirecat · 03-23-2013, 03:53 PM

Jesus, that's a pretty huge drop. I'm wondering what the tradeoff is or where the money is made up.

SmileyZ · 03-23-2013, 04:15 PM

Anybody here remember when Mitsubishi/Dodge did this in the 90's to "spur sales growth" of the 3000GT twins? That didn't work out well at all. Sales did not improve and resale values tanked. Let's hope Nissan is smart enough to gradually reduce the price, if they even reduce it in the US.

If you plan on trading in 2014/2015 for another Z? Pay off your Z's ASAP. The next gen price will most likely drop back to $30,000 again. That will leave your current Z's being worth in the $20,000 range.

Residual value will also be affected if you lease. It may be more important for leassee's than owners.

In a related story, all new Zs will have the 2009 steering lock added as a free option.

obito · 03-23-2013, 06:47 PM

to be fair for prior customers, Nissan should drop the price for GT-R, so we can step up.

I dont wanna be overcrowded like BRZ drivers..

It is not a touring model, or a sport model. Base all the way around.

Yeah, base as hell, no leather, no Bose, no heated seats even though it says it has it...
The ONLY thing it has is the reverse camera...

Your post just yesterday:

hermmmmmm this is my take on the whole situation, you can blame whoever you might think is at fault sure, we can all do that. But you bought the car because you wanted a Z, this thread shows the true z enthusiast from the "i like how the z looks like" peeps. For me im pretty nonchalant about it when i first saw the price i was like awwwww shoot batman but after sitting on it and thinking about it and reading these posts i mean i bought my car for 32.5 OTD with 2k miles on it and im glad it had 2k miles on it b/c i would have felt worse stalling in a car that hasnt been broken in. so going to dealerships and nego with them for a new 2014 and prob only get the car price without tax to 28.5 at best but prob 29. and then NJ taxes and fees so around 32k....not worth the animosity or anger or time to frustrate on it. honestly italy you would at best pay about 500-1000 less if you were to get the 14

its funny how much your opinion has changed on the whole price thing... to the point where you say people who are mad about loosing money are not z enthusiast.

question for you, how many z's have you owned? didn't you buy your car used? buying a used car you have no reason to be mad about a price change..

Alright....

That's enough!!!

The emotional scaring will take months to heal

The taste of the sh*t sandwich Nissan fed me will go away with a few tooth brushings and some Listerine.

At this point... I would just wait. the last two years of a model is never good to buy unless you are getting large cash incentives or the car is being considered an instant classic.

SS_Firehawk · 03-23-2013, 09:45 PM

The last few years are the model are generally the best because they are considered the most reliable.
