Decision close, which to choose?
 
I have a Nissan 370z base coupe, 2010 with 42k miles. A nearby dealer has a new 2014 Base for about $29.8k and a 2010 touring model with 25k miles for $26.5k.

Which one would you trade for. A new 2014 base couple or the 2010 tourist. With one you gain a lot of miles but with the other you get leather, brembo brakes, spoiler, etc.

I agree but if you're wanting a new one, for $29.9k you can get a 2015 base model (that's only $100 more than the 2014).

but that is not the tourist model nor does it come with brembo's. :mad:

Limeybastard 08-12-2014 02:10 PM

Why would anyone change to another Z? Wait til the new shape comes up or try some new pastures green. I feel a Mustang gt in your horizon. LOL.

vividracing 08-12-2014 02:22 PM

I guess my question would be why would you trade your car in for basically the same car again? Want Brembos? BUY THEM lol.

Unless you would be getting a newer better car AND lowering your payment, then by all means, go for it. If not, i wouldnt do it. Wait for a body change

I would not touch a Mustang. Far too many on the road. Same reason why I would not go for FRS or BRZ or Camaro etc., etc.

To me, the exclusivity is important. The ration of Mustangs to 370Z is like 100:1.

Who is selling it? In practice, with all the dealer add ons, I would bet there would not be a 2014 sold by a dealer just $100 below a 2015.

Fuzzzy 08-12-2014 02:33 PM

Get the one that you'll be happy with for at least a year.

Trick answer. That car apparently does not exist :D

Merely quoting factory pricing of $29.9k for the 2015 base. If he's been quoted $29.8k for a base 2014, just saying.
Apples to apples that's only $100.

Well, I feel the same way. Only a Mustang Gt500 could perhaps sway me.:roflpuke2:

guys, you have to remember this is the idiot that wants to trade in his car just to get a factory warranty and swap all the parts and resell as a different model. same idiot, slightly stupider questions every time he creates a new thread

kenchan 08-12-2014 03:51 PM

Then the VW Golf R should give him the exclusivity he is seeking! :rofl2:

Whoa! I started this thread and I know nothing about swapping parts and I never posted about trading to get parts or warranty. I hope you are not trying to start a war here.

Lots of know-it-alls here. Please remember, as my old Mother use to say, "if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all".
I see lots of guys on here that seem to be ready to jump on someone. Hiding behind their user names , and criticizing others. Really sad.

Give me a break, "mixed up the newbs"

What are you, a more established Z owner? This isn't a frat where you have to haze the pledges.:shakes head:

Duc_Z09 08-12-2014 11:00 PM

Why all the hate for Mustangs? For $25k a base model GT will rape our Z's nine ways to Sunday in a straight line and a Boss 302 (admittedly more $$) will kick our *** around a track all day long...

Say what you want about Mustangs, but it all seems like sour grapes to me.

Oh, and back when I had a Mustang and frequented those forums the owners seemed to know a lot about modding their cars; cold air, tuners, nitrous, heads, cams, exhaust, line lock, coil-overs, Vortech kits, etc. Here it seems like for every legitimate build I see 80 people doing body kits, stereo components, and crap like that.:rolleyes:

Don't get me wrong, the Z is a great sports car. But credit where it's due, the Coyote 5.0 is hard to beat

Zoren 370 08-12-2014 11:08 PM

Would you believe that more 911's sold this year compared to Z.

I don't think many people buy Zs to straight line. Also, if you're going to spend the money for a boss that would clean a Z, for the price difference sunk into the Z the Mustang would get cleaned. I think the hate for the Mustangs is because this is the370z.com. You may find it bias towards Zs. Don't ask me why though.

Yes, I can. That's why Zs are a steal right now. They can't sell them so if you're buying one they're fairly cheap or can work good deals. I know a lot of people are disappointed in the 370z. I like it.

<Shrug> You're not comparing apples to apples; by that same token a base GT with coil-overs, intake mods, big brakes and a tune will beat a Nismo for a whole lot less money. My point is that Nissan doesn't make a 370 that will handle any 'stang higher than a base GT, and even that's a stretch.

I get being proud of what you drive, but people still need to be at least somewhat logical about it.

For some of us it is NOT the faster car (Mustang) or the better handling one (Miata, FRS), it's the exclusivity that comes with owning a car, with the looks that come with the car. It's all subjective. We buy a car because feel good sitting in them.

There are always going to be cars that are better in one category or another. In one ranking, Miata is the best sports car, the FRS comes second, the Mustang is in 4th place and the 370z is in fifth. So what?

Sure the 911 sold more and that is because the Middle Class is shrinking, the rich go for European cars, the Middle Class is moving towards Cars under $30k.

Yes, I heard "the rich gets richer, and the poor can go to hell," in some wallstreet movie..

Gotta say, if you want a better Z package you can just upgrade those parts (to OEM parts, even!). Not sure there is a NEED to spend money on a new one.
