hell yea!!

 

Thats good news for those of you who plan on selling yours...not me (atleast for quite a while!)

 

Here the text from the article:

"The vehicles with the lowest depreciation rates include:


· Minivans -- Honda Odyssey, Mazda 5
· Coupe -- Infiniti G35
· Sports cars -- Nissan 350Z
· Family sedan -- Honda Accord
· Mid-sized sedans -- Toyota Prius



Five of the vehicles with the highest depreciation rates include:


· Large sedans -- Ford Crown Victoria
· Minivans -- Buick Terraza
· Mid-sized sedan -- Pontiac Grand Prix
· Compacts -- Dodge Neon
· Family sedan -- Mercury Sable"

Nothing like making a good buy. =)

 

GG our friend the SRT (aka Neon)

 

On Edmund's.Com, the Z was in the 49th of 50 most researched cars (amoung all cars), so there's obviously a direct correlation of the demand/interest for the Z, hence it's indirect implication to a lower depreciation rate

 

awesome! but i dont plan on selling my beautiful Z anytime soon or ever unless i have absolutely no choice.

 

Well thats good since I usually get into a new car every 3 years.

 

told ya...

 

What a surprise, american cars has the highest depreciation rates

 

Yeah I had an 04 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP and it was a great car but Damn, the depreciation was sick. The only reason I was able to stay ahead of the depreciation and pocket some loot on the sale was because I bought it at employee pricing.

 

That will hopefully come in handy when I try to sell mine before winter.

 

dont forget to also that FF3 for making the car more valuable

Thats amazing!

 

Yay!!!!

 

Man, take a look at Volkswagons ill planned Phaeton. A staggering well made car that looks like their very much lower priced Passat. For the price of the Phaeton, you can have an Audi A8, any number of MB and BMW's. You can pick up a lightly used, one year old, $70,000 Pheaton for around $32,000! This may be the buy of the decade if you need a high performance, luxuarious sedan... Act quickly, as of September, the will not import this car to the US.

 

This was another factor in my decision between a used 350Z and a brand new Mustang GT.

All best,
Joe

 

I have a feeling the trade-in value on the Z is going to plummet when the GTR comes out. The dealer lots are going to have alot of Z trade-ins. I plan on selling my Z right before the GTR comes out, before the value drops.

 

That wont happen.

 

Yeah, there is an estimated $30-$40,000 difference between the cost of the Z and the GTR and there will not be that many GTR's in this country. It would be foolish for Nissan to ruin the Z like that....I think one thing people forget is that the GTR is going to be in the "Viper Like" class, not every Tom, Dick and Harry will be able to go get one.....
