2012 370Z Vs Used

I vote new due to 2012 has a improved cooling for oil. Also the used car prices are supposedly incredibly high right now due to the economy.

Honestly, that little cooler is hardly a deal breaker. Nice to have? Sure. Critical? If you track your car (though if you track it you should be doing other things as well anyway, and aftermarket cooler may be more effective)

Prices are all over due to supply and demand. Its not a high volume car. Patience and flexibility will net you a decent deal, especially in the winter months where the climate is not all that for driving a Z car.

Some dealers will think its covered in gold. Others will see a car on their lot for 60 days and want to move it.

True its not a deal breaker but it still makes me a little upset knowing I dont have it but thats just me. Honestly I still miss my defrosting mirrors and rear view window wipers from the 350z. Guess thats just who I am hehe.

Everyone else in this thread is wrong, 2012 Z vs Used is a driver's race. Mods can close this thread now, thanks.

At the end of the day... all that matters is that you get your Z. No matter which route you choose, just make sure you are well informed. Have done your research, proper inspections and have full understanding of the offers in front of you as opposed to values. Know what the purpose of your automobile will be before committing to a type of purchase.

The worst kind of purchase isn't if it was new or used? The worst purchase is the kind iwhere you make a deal without being informed or knowing what you got for your money.

No, not really. A lot of aspects of a house can be visually inspected. There's only so much you can inspect on a car without tearing it down to check out parts.

I think you would argue the sky was purple if I said is was blue. Simple fact is that is how I have always purchased my vehicles and they have outlasted many others that I have know that were purchased new. Either way I own a Z and you own a civic so who has done better here?

N370z I hope you find what you are looking for and no matter what is said on here just trust your gut.

lawls don't take it so personally dude. I'm sorry your argument was weak, as is your logic. "I've bought a ton of used cars and had no problems, therefore I must be right". Yeah, nice logic. Since YOU'VE never purchased a car that had a problem with it because you had it inspected, surely no one else ever has. /sarcasm

Yeah, you're right, a lot of parts of a house can't be inspected. You got me AGAIN, dude! Stop winning so much!

But seriously dude, do you really spend a significant amount of your day sitting on car forums trying to prove people wrong? If so, you suck at it. Terribly.

can you suck at something terribly? I think that's a double negative. Sucking terribly means you are good at something.
