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.

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?

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.

you think we can add heated mirrors to our Z? i was use to having it with my 05

cosmicdust73 · 09-06-2009, 01:32 PM

Yeah I figure the dealers will be mostly out of stock, however, the one I've been going to has a few left... one of which is exactly what I'm looking for. If they can hook me up with something like an extended warranty, etc... I make take the plunge now. If not, I'll just order a 2010 model.

Just not sure why, with the advice with all the others who have posted, you would be so pumped to take the plunge now instead of waiting a mere couple months. It sounds like you had your mind made up but asked our opinions anyway.

Nah... I didn't make up my mind yet. Sounds like the best thing is to wait, however, all I'm saying is if they offer me invoice and/or an extended warranty. I may still consider the 2009. If not, I'll just walk out. Your opinions are helping me decide. It's helpful to know a lot of you were getting thousands knocked off when the car had just come out. This will make it a lot easier for me to walk out of the dealer if the price is not right.

I have my heart set on the 370z but I also took a look at the 2010 Mustang GT. Since I use the car year-round and live in NJ, the Mustang is a bit more attactive than the 370z because it's a lot easier to get a set of rims/snow tires for the car. (like I have been doing for the last 3 years with my 350z) For some reason (size of brakes perhaps) it appears that I may have quite a bit of trouble finding snow tires that will work with the 370z... that is unless I buy 19 inch Blizzaks and mount them on the stock rims. (not a great option) I was hoping 17s would work on the car but it looks like I'm SOL on that plan.

Just remember that with a car with so few options, the perfect one is always right around the corner. No need to rush mate.

The new mustang fully loaded can be nice, but did you take the mustang out for a drive? No amount of added features can change how the car drives/handles if it is not what you want/need in a car.

Yeah I took the 5 speed GT out for a spin. The car moves! The interior was kind of cheap feeling compared to the Z though. The glass roof was awesome and the computer/nav was very cool... especially how it was activated by voice. It's also got some really cool illumination effects inside where you can customize the color of all of the interior lights and dash. When it comes down to it though... I love the Z styling and handling! Tough decision... maybe I should just sit on it for a while and make a decision in the spring of next year.

Any idea when 2010s will hit the lots?

(new member, nav tips welcome)

Blown32 · 09-13-2009, 11:44 AM

Z's..Mustangs..snow tires??A bit confused don't you think?
Maybe a Hummer next?

cosmicdust73 · 09-15-2009, 04:00 PM

Well, as much as I would have liked to wait until the 2010s were out... I couldn't get the car out of my head and ended up picking one up. Went with the 370z Touring 7AT w/Sports and Nav. Got it for around $1,000 over invoice. A little higher than I would have liked but I pushed them hard to give me more on my trade-in, so they of course had to make some of it up. Anyways, here are some pics!

the 2010's base features didnt have anything that i would be interested in so got the 2009...at a great deal.

but if you're looking at the touring with all the bells and whistles, i'd definitely wait. that HD for the headunit + USB sounds nice.

Cooled seats are only in the convertible, I have not heard anything about a new red interior, the 2010 convertible has a wine leather which matches the black cherry color.
