considering trading my Nismo for this 5.0

Myron_Nismo · 02-09-2013, 05:50 PM

Used Ford Mustang GT Premium 2012 in Atlanta, GA

My car is an 09 with 20k miles. I went to this dealership a few months ago when I had 17k miles, they "unofficially" estimated they could give me 25.5k for it.

If they can still give me that much, I'm considering trading in if I can get them down on the price to get me close to an even trade.

I'm on the fence. Convince me why or why I shouldn't give it a try.

1) It's a ford.
2) you have nismo

Red__Zed · 02-09-2013, 06:13 PM

Have you test driven it yet?

It's a great car, but very different feel than the nismo. I'd get behind the wheel and see what you think.

I personally would not get one without the brembo package though.

Nismo = Base + suspension, exhaust, rims, body-kit, and tune. I say get the 5.0 if you like it, or keep the Nismo if you like it, it's not a rare car or anything super special either way.

This.

The only way I was able to trade my 370z for a Mustang was to get the 13' GT500. And even then that bitch was sold before the salt hit the roads. Mustangs are great and fast but no staying power. The trait in your body that drew you to the 370z isn't something that fades. You will always look back and want something similar.

I went for the 2013 camaro 2SS. My old 2010 370z Nismo looks better but it doesn't have a lot of things that the 2SS has such as home link, navigation, a good stereo system, two rear seats. Plus the ride on the Nismo is too harsh for the roads where I live. I heard our roads are among the worst in the nation.

All kinds of different strokes for different folks. Drive it and see what YOU feel. Who gives a **** what we have to say?

the funny thing is i feel less agressive when driving the Camaro. I think the aggressive styling of the 370z Nismo and its harsh ride made me drive more aggressively :-)

TerribleONE · 02-11-2013, 12:21 AM

Can I ask why you want the change? if you dont mind losing the sexy lines of the Z for a power bump and on par handling from what I heard (even though I still think its hype) then go for it... however personally as iceagetlc said I could never even consider it unless it was for a GT500

Z370Z011 · 02-11-2013, 12:36 AM

Yeah, if it was a GT500, id be all over that. But since it isn't, it would be (IMO) a downgrade. Like going from a nismo to a regular Z. Or in your case, from a nismo to a regular mustang.

But hey, Whatever make you happy!

they told me id regret a 2 seater and till this day ive proved them all wrong

Your going to drive it, not us, so take the stang for a test drive and get a good feel for it.
GoodLuck with your decision!
(Ps, if i had a nismo id Never sell it

lol)

kensnismo · 02-11-2013, 08:00 AM

take a ride around your area and just see how many mustangs are on the road around here every other car seems to be a mustang.in the end its still your choice.

m4a1mustang · 02-11-2013, 08:02 AM

As someone that made the jump from a Z to a 5.0, if you like it, do it. It's a very formidable performance car. Certainly not a downgrade, though some people here seem to think a Nissan is a status symbol.

Mike · 02-11-2013, 08:04 AM

I do have a mustang. I would not choose it over the Z, if I couldn't have both.

Myron_Nismo · 02-11-2013, 11:08 AM

Yeah it's really just the power that's making me want to do it. I drove one with the 3.73 gears and loved the power. But I think after I got used to the power I would start to miss the Z.

Plus the mustang value depreciates so much faster than my car, as you can see by the price of the one I linked lol.
