13 is generally an unlucky number for a lot of folks.

(lucky number for me...)

I am seriously debating getting rid of my z now.. I spent weeks going back and forth to dealers playing them against each other to get the best deal I could. Now not only can you get a sport for cheaper than what I worked my azz off for but now my car has taken a huge hit on resale value....

I got my 2010 spirt for 30k out the door with the extended warranty. I got tje deal because i got it in 2011in june with 90 miles on it. It was a new car just didnt sell at the original dealership so they made a dealer swap out of my car.

You got a good deal, but the sticker price was lower in 2010 than in 2013. I did a similar deal when I bought my 2011. I got my 2011 for $31000 OTD.What is upsetting me is I just bought my 2013 a few months ago. If I knew they were gonna lower the price I would have waited and got a 2014, and saved a few grand. Now all of us who got a 2013 are gonna take a big hit on resale. Being that my z is not my daily driver and just a toy I don't drive it much. I only have 600 miles on it. I was planning on waiting till the next gen z cones out then trading up to that. Now that Nissan killed the resale value of the car most people will be rolling money over if they trade out of it. I did get a good deal on my 2013. $32000 OTD. But they way I look at it is if they went to $32000 on a sticker price of $37355 then imagine the deal you can get if the same car starts out at $33000. So in the end they screwed everyone who bought a 2013.

The touring now costs $5k extra, then another $2k for nav... So there is a lot of fluff in a touring model. It used to cost around $5k with nav. Base +sport model still the bang for buck steal at $33k.

Which is what kills it for me... I WANT touring (for the Nav)... But $5k, THEN ANOTHER $2k for Nav?!?!?!

That means they want $1750 per seat, and $1000 for Bose, $500 for the mirror... That's a joke...

probably left over 13's and changing the year to 2014...

But yeah the price does hurt... smh.

SS_Firehawk · 07-25-2013, 05:11 PM

The value of the Yen did drop as well this year. I feel this pricing is much more in line of what it should be... Except for the Nismo... that thing is overpriced by $5k.

coolvans1988 · 07-25-2013, 05:16 PM

i think its also competing with the top of the line Hyundai Genesis coupe.

JungleZ · 07-25-2013, 06:49 PM

Awesome price drop except for the fact that the new bumper redesign looks weak.. I tried liking it in midnight blue but even the wheels look melted..

Did anybody else see this?

Nissan Sport Brakes

Balance doesn't just apply to cornering. Bringing the powerful 370Z® to a halt are its largest brakes ever—available 14" front rotors, with the gripping power of 4-piston front calipers. Purpose-designed ducting helps to reduce fade and provide predictable and precise stopping power.

Is this a new feature on the 2014's or does the 2013 also have new brake ducting as well?

Interesting guess I'll have to check it out when I get a hold of mine...I kinda doubt it would as I recall people seeing this on the 13 and it turned out to only apply to the nismo but we shall see very soon hopefully :-)

Cracks me up that they want to charge $520 for Nismo brake pads and you can get them online for $240 (or less).

Not sure if this has been brought up but can we swap 2013 front bumper with the 12' and older? I had a discussion with another member yesterday and was given the okay, but need more confirmation to make sure. Thinking of getting a new 2013 and swap bumper with the older model.

I don't see why you won't be able to swap them out. Wiring the DRL should be simple.
