Still struggling to justify a new 2014 370Z

aszyd · 07-26-2014, 11:38 PM

If you are having doubts about the purchase, just don't do it. It shouldn't take a forum of enthusiasts to convince you one way or the other.

What are the reason(s) stopping you from buying the new car? Something is obviously holding you back.

New cars are terrible investments. I'm not sure why anybody would buy one. Having said that, mine is a 2014.

For the safety and security of knowing it wasn't abused before you owned it...sort of like advance insurance. Then again, since my dealer sent someone to pick up my Z of choice from different dealer's lot 150 miles away and DRIVE it back, I'll never know. But at least as new, I've got the full 3 years, 36k miles to make a determination!

I don't see why anyone would by USED in this market. I could barely find a 2-3 year old 370z with 40k+ miles for under $25k where I live. Most of those were base with sport package, touring models were easily $30k+. For reference, my base 370z was $30k OTD.

It's a no-brainer when you get 0% financing on a brand new car and have the piece of mind that nobody has farted in the driver seat aside from yourself

Because I found an 11 month old roadster/sport/touring/nav with a $50k sticker price for under $35k at .9% interest.

Well that's a damn good reason

There are times when I am tempted and then there are times when I would miss those $9000 when I can think of a vacation or something else that I could spend it. Knowing myself, I doubt I would spend on anything else and so it would go in my retirement funds.

Under 100 miles on odometer? If it isn't far under 100, it isn't a new car IMO--it just hasn't been sold to anyone yet.

For what it's worth...

2015 Nissan 370Z Coupe
The 2015 Nissan 370Z continues to offer extraordinary performance design and an unmatched heritage as one of the most iconic sports cars in automotive history. Two new trim levels are offered for 2015: Sport and Sport Tech. In addition, significant changes have been made to the top-of-the-line 370Z NISMO (see below), including the first-ever available automatic transmission (in addition to the 6-speed manual).

Enhancements for the 2015 model year include:

Two new trim levels: Sport and Sport Tech
Previously available option packages (Navigation, Sport and Bose®) now incorporated into various trim levels
Revised suspension tuning
New black-finished 18-inch wheels (370Z and 370Z Touring)
Navigation now standard on 370Z Touring
Bluetooth® Hands-free Phone System now standard on all grade levels
New base audio head unit (370Z, 370Z Sport)
Offered in 370Z, 370Z Touring, 370Z Sport and 370Z Sport Tech models
Available in July 2014

Good to know what's changing if you're considering a '14 with some trim level and minor changes coming to the '15.

Good to know there is a 2015 coming but will the probable higher price for a 2015 make it better than to purchase a 2014?

Depends. MSRP goes up every year, but then you don't need to jump to a Touring to get BT anymore, and there a few small updates and upgrades that may offset what one would spend on a '14 in order to get the same amount of equipment. Always better to know what's changing, the more info you got the better.

Follow the gut feeling. That feeling knows best.

I think you REALLY want to get a new Z.
Just do it. Im sure you will be happy.

14ZTSport · 07-27-2014, 05:17 AM

Don't fall for the someone waiting to buy your car routine. Wife and I been buying cars from dealers for many years. Funny how about 3-4 years into ownership, someone all of a sudden is dying to buy it, but from the dealer. Odd that if the buyer wanted it and saw it, then didn't make contact with us to ask about it. Friends around here get the same letters and e-mails from local dealers...just another marketing ploy IMHO.
