I'm in the market for a 09 or 10 advice?

cjeezy · 03-26-2011, 08:07 AM

Hi all,

My first post to these boards, typically I've been on the 350z forums since that's what I've owned. So here's my story, I just sold my 350z and want to pick up a 2009 or 2010 370z now. I have perfect credit and can put $10k down. My challenge is that I want to keep my payments at or below $275/mo. I was talking to a couple dealerships and they "say" they can help me out with that. So far there's a Nissan certified white 2010 sport pkg with 19K miles that I like. Here's the link to the car:

2010 Nissan 370Z, $30,972 - Cars.com

I haven't seen it in person but wanted to get opinions. I'm up north so it gets cold, so I'm not sure if I should just look for an 09 touring w/heated seats, etc (I don't want a base model w/no options). Also, do all sport packages come with the SynchroRev Match?

Any help or advice you can give would be appreciated.

I am in michigan. get the touring with heated seats or add in heated seats later. well worth it. I do not drive mine in the winter snow or on slick roads. I am not sure if this is going to be daily driver for you, but if so, consider a 10 yr old subaru for the bad days.
the sports package gives you the 19" wheels, better brakes and the SRM. I drove one Z with the SRM, and it made the car no better or worse for the decision process. Not a feature that was of any value to me, having driven a stick for 20+ years.

To cfweber, I'm still negotiating with the dearlership but with my credit and downpayment of now about 11K we're currently at $299/mo. Still about $10-$20 or so over my max monthly budget though.

But in terms of your "keep saving" comment, I completely agree. I'm in no hurry, I just liked this particular one. My plan is to keep saving for the next few months and get something by summer in my range (fingers crossed).
