Jump in on 2009 370z or wait for the 2010?

370zlove3 · 09-05-2009, 09:42 PM

I heard only 1 color is made new for the 2010 version (black cherry red). I was hoping for a whiter color (not pearl white but actual white white).

Have the 2010 versions been finalized and basically a done deal? Or are they still improving/updating with better specifications and parts while taking orders?

Sorry again.

Yeah you're all right... it makes the most sense to wait for the 2010. It's just tough to do so! Been waiting this whole year as it is... but I guess it's better to buy at the end of winter than just before winter. (live in NJ)

I was hoping that maybe Nissan would cook up such a good deal that I could not resist buying now, but I'm not even sure what that deal should be. Is it invoice? Is it below invoice since they need to clear room for the 2010 models? I really have no idea. Is it likely that the 2010 orders will be a few grand more?

There are not many 09 Z's left from what I understand. 2010 sounds like your best bet. Love my late model 09

ONLY convertibles get seat coolers. Heated mirror and cabin air filter IS standard on 2010.

VERY LITTLE has been changed on the 2010 model(and it's a good thing

). If you can get a GREAT deal on 09, get it. If not, just wait for the 2010 since it's already September.

Also many of the new improvements that are coming to the 09 the ipod connection changed to usb connection which probably wont be something that can be added to the nav cause im sure software is involved.

Heated mirrors can be added to a 09 and the micro-filter. So in my opinion get the 09.

Not directing this at the OP but there has to be a clump of threads asking this question and Im starting to wonder if people want a 2010 just to say I have a 2010.

Jeez so all 09ers grab you some heated mirrors and head to your loval dealer and get a micro-filter and tell everyone you have a 2010 early. If you don't have nav NO ONE will ever know.

Wait for 2010. N just keep trying till u get a maximum of 500 under invoice or a maximum of 900 over invoice. That's ur range.
Sometimes through special circumstances u can get 2,000 or even 4000 off.
But that's either through employee discounts,dealer offers or govt funding.
Just keep your eyes and ears open. BUT definately go 2010.
