Nissan doesnt give warranty to people named boob.

Pretty sure he's over the mileage already.

Nissan has pissed me off so much that we traded our 2013 GT-R in on the 2014 Corvette. I got tired of being treated like crap by them and always having to argue over ever little item/dollar. The final straw is when they scratched the front up and didn't want to pay for it. $2600 out of my pocket and I was done with the GTR.

I did buy and love my Nismo. The deal was to good to pass up, $36,000 for a 2013 with 1800 miles. I just don't take it to Nissan.

You're blaming Nissan for that? Sounds like a douchebag dealer problem to me.

But, yeah, $36K for a 2013 with only 1800 miles sounds like a steal to me!

I'm in the process of trading in my Z because I can't find a competent service department near me. I've driven several newer Mustangs and, unless you are in a base model, they all handle reasonably well. Not as well as the Z but a LOT better than the 196x models I've owned in the past. I like the old-school styling of the newer Mustangs. And, yes, a V-8 sounds better than a six any day, IMNSHO.

If you can get a good deal on the 5.0, I'd say go for it.

He has a boss 302intake manifold, long tube headers and flowmasters exhaust leather interior and nice sound system in the gt. I cant seem to get past the fact that its a mustang though. however it sounds sexxxxyyyy when it revs man. what do u guys think? has nissan pissed you off with their cheap csc issues and just litte things as much as they have me?

i wouldnt do it. there's a reason why the other party wants your older, higher milage car. think about it before you pull the trigger.

I'd like to clarify something here. When you refer to getting pissed at Nissan, I assume that you are talking about corporate. It's not fair to link a horrible dealer experience to the car manufacturer unless corporate is involved in your experience.

The dealers are their own entities, and customer service can vary to great extremes regardless of the car manufacturer. One of the Nissan dealers in town did service on my Z without my permission and then tried to charge me for it. I'm not blaming Nissan for that; it was the idiot service manager at that particular dealer not listening to his customer. Having a trustworthy dealer or not would impact my decision to purchase that particular car make, but not in the case of the Z, as I made the decision to do my own work on the car.

Yeah fair point I'm speaking of the company as a whole making decisions like a plastic body csc and a steering column that locks up and having what I consider as being serious issues that cost lots of money for repairs unheard of on other cars. I don't usually deal with dealers as they tend to be slimey any way you cut it.

And as for reason he wants to trade. He's always been into the Jdm market having lined lots of imports. No idea why he sprung for the mustang but I'm not a strictly import guy I've had camaros and liked them a lot I got the z cuz it was sexy and fast and used to be unmatched in performance at the price point. Tables seem to be turning for sure.

Zensation · 05-19-2014, 08:55 AM

I definitely appreciate all the input guys. By no means am I trying to turn this into a flame thread as I have appreciated the z for what it has been as I appreciate cars from every make. Most ppl seem to view trading the z for a mustang as like the last car I'll ever own or something like I'm making this horrible mistake I'll never be able to live down lol. I look at it as an opportunity to try something new and if I don't like it I can always move on lol. So far the leather interior of the mustang and the throaty growl of that v8 seem to best the 370 for me (at least until Nissan decides to put out the z35) plus as I don't autox or track the nismo the pros for owning one (like the handling ) seem under utilyzed where as I can use that v8 acceleration at any stop light I want. The z has been an awesome car but maybe I'm just due for a change.

i think that pretty much wraps up the entire thread. time for change... regardless of good or bad or emotions hurt or not. time for change.

I change cars more often than some change underware. The differance is I don't ask others if I should do it, I guess being older I make up my mind and do what I want and don't really give a crud what others think. Make the change, nothing is permanent, you can always change again down the road.

Kind of a douchey response. I wasn't asking if I should trade my car I'm a part of a community and I wanted input from that community on something of relevance. Just tapping into the experience of others on a car I've driven but never owned. Judging by most of the responses It was a valid topic of conversation. It was my like some ppl that post "hey u guys think I should buy a Gtr I make lots of money and I want one"....where everyone knows exactly what they're gonna do they just want a response.

The Mustang GT was about my fifth choice for a car to replace my Lincoln LS that my daughter wanted for her high school graduation present.(370 was first but I'm too tall) I went to look at one at the dealership where my wife works and left with a G37 coupe. The build quality of the Infiniti and my wifes 370Z is leaps and bounds better than any Ford product. If you need a backseat you should seriously consider a G37, coupe or sedan. The GT I looked at was a '12 with 5.xxx miles and I could have bought it for 26k without an employee discount.(it hadn't been on the lot long enough) The original sticker was over 39k. I personally wouldn't trade a Nismo for a Mustang, but you can do what you want.
