is the Touring package worth it?

DavidZ370 · 11-05-2014, 02:56 PM

Sport pack is a must, Touring imho is OVER priced.

i dont know your color preferences or whatever but here's a good find. 2012 - 5500 miles with you specs $27,950

on a dealer lot it could pull up to maybe just over 30k. personally i would try and get it for 25,500-26,500 for profit purposes. its a private seller so that should be easy to accomplish.

Yeah, I like that one. It is within my acceptable color selections. Personally I'm a red sports car type of guy (see below) but the woman actually prefers the gunmetal gray. But I'd rather wait a month or two than fly out to CA and drive it back.

You are more dedicated than I am if you drove 1300 miles for yours! I'd do that for an MR2, but I'm not sure how long I'm going to keep this one. If a mid-engine car gets released in the next few years, I'm going to jump on it. Also, if we change our minds about kids then the wife will petition for me to get a 4 door

. At the moment I'm in the clear, but that's part of the reason I don't want to invest too heavily.

Keep in mind that the Bose system really paints you into a corner for upgrading the speakers later, especially if you end up with the nav.

Riptide67 · 11-05-2014, 04:51 PM

I got mine with all options minus the navigation. It was pointless in my 350Z and I found it pointless in the 370Z.

An upgrade in the stereo department greatly makes up for it with a navigation system that shows real time traffic.

noir_fairlady · 11-05-2014, 07:35 PM

For me, the only benefit to a touring package would be the leather seats. As OP mentioned, sport package is mandatory. I don't really care for the bose system or navigation that comes stock.

Z-Girl 12 · 11-06-2014, 06:24 PM

I love the nav tho many hate it. And the seats like my sport seats in my g35 are worth every penny!

scorp38 · 11-08-2014, 07:39 PM

Touring worth it. Nav is unessesary and extra on top of touring. The nav unit is ugly IMHO any who. Try to get g37s seats those are the ****. My mom has a g37xs coupe and the seats are 100 times better than 370z seats.

Do those drop right in? I drove a G37X once and I think it had cooled seats. Would be huge for me to get cooled seats in my new car... couldn't care less about heated seats.

The g37s seats are different than the regular seats. And I would imagine they would be same floor boards. As far as wiring might be different

We have both the z and g37s. I am not sure the g's seats are 100x better than the z's. I have no complaint on the z's seats.... the lumbar adjustment on the driver seat is nice.

The nav may/may not be necessary. It is a personal preference, but I don't think it is ugly at all. It also has the 9g music box and blue tooth phone/music streaming & play dvd movies, rear view camera (nav only opt) which are kinda nice.
