Should i trade for a Z?

Z_ealot · 05-09-2013, 11:17 PM

if you actually bother to take a look at truecar it will clearly tell you that the factory invoice for a 370Z with sport package and nothing else is $34,781 unlike what some people spout out of their mouth here who don't even bother to do research and just to name one dealer who is actually selling at that price here is a link to fontana nissans website 2013 Nissan 370Z in Fontana | Nissan Dealer Fontana | Fontana Nissan Dealer | Nissan Dealer Fontana | Fontana Nissan

So is there anything i should look for on a used Z? like which package i should go with?

Any difference power wise between the new ones and the old ones?

Make sure it has the sport package for sure. Power's the same between all years. Get the manual if you're planning on boost. There's a lot more work required to make the auto stand up to the power.

09-10 make sure you get the steering lock replaced under warranty if has not been (service records will have this)
If you are going boost you will want an oil cooler, focus on sport package, touring is leather seats with navigation option if you want that.

maybe im using the wrong site, but autos.yahoo.com doesnt display the package type:

Used Nissan Z cars in Tampa, FL 33614 - Yahoo! Autos

Is there a way to know from the pic?

Look for big brakes and the 19" Volks.

If you do decide to get the Z, and want to boost it, then try getting in on this group buy. it will definitely save you a lot of money down the road. The Z is a great car, those who don't like it don't know how to appreciate what the car has to offer. I dont regret my decision at all

Reverting your car back to stock & selling anything aftermarket will net the biggest returns.
Selling to the dealer is easy and will help on tax savings, but usually they will pay a lower cost, just have to weight the options.

ya i kinda want to take it to the dealer and ask them straight up how much i would get for my car with all the stock parts.. and go calculate from there

Or try to sell it as is on the genesis forum first.

the 370z is more for a guy that has played with all sorts of mods while young and now want a GT type sportscar that is comfy to drive on the streets, and needs very little to make it fun to own.

i dont think the 370Z is for you, op. unless you like the shape.
