OK...Here is the deal.

I have wanted a Z for a while, but am uneducated. I have heard many complaints about the Z being underpowered.

I currently have an 06 Armada, and 05 Titan.

I was getting the oil changed on the Titan and test drove a 2005 350Z 35th Anniversary Edition. Sticker price was 36K, retail book is 34K, Private Party 31K, Wholesale 28K. The car is in excellent condition with only 7200 miles. It has all options except navigation.

I was dealing with the General Manager and was in his office. I "accidently" saw his used car report on his desk, and read upside down the they were into the car for 25,916. I offered 26,500, and they countered at 27,800 +fees.

Talk me into....or out of....it

thanks

go look at the 07 hood and you will have your answer!

 

k question does any1 have a pic of this 2007 model that seems to be amazing??? cuz i've never seen it

 

No. Walk around the 350Z once. If it stirs your soul, buy it. If not shop for something else.

 

if you need to be talked into the z then i say dont get one. As for me, it was love at first sight

 

I love the looks...Do you think this is a smoking deal? What mods will I need to do to get the HP to a respectable / more fun level?

 

not really saying talk me into the z or the s2000...just "hey thats a sweet deal...it's a steal..you should get it...put these bolts ons on it and it will have plenty of HP

 

Delete.

 

That's about what I paid for my Enthusiast in June, brand new.

bill

 

ahhh. well try to stick to 26 because i think 28 is a little high. As for bolt ons.... Your not gonna get tremendous power out of them but you could take a second off your quarter for 2 to 3 g's. All depends on what you wanna do.

 

gonna need to go forced induction to see considerable gains. and the VQ isn't exactly made for high boost so you'd want to build your engine.. depends what you want to go for man.

 

It is a solid deal but you could get a new Enthusiast for same price.

 

amazing? no! the hood is hideous!!

 

get a new enthusiast... its got that new car smell...

 

+1

Look elsewhere tank3d, the Z is not for you.

 

Like everybody else said, if you gotta think about it, or convinced either way, then it's not for you. Don't buy it if you gotta be talked into it. Buy it because you want to buy it. I took my Sentra in for service, and it was love at first site. Got an 06 with 51 miles on it, for $26k.

 

(sleazy car salesman voice)

I was going to give it to you for 45k cause they are selling so hot everywhere but since I like you, you should just buy it for 37 (9k over msrp) and get free floor mats.

 

I'm not sure of what type of hp gains you are trying to achieve but, it has already been stated, the Z is not a supra, you will have to invest much time and money to get there. As for talking you into buying a Z, I hope I have not discouraged you. The Z is an exceptional sports car that would out perform a supra if built right. Like davidv said, go walk around a (super black) Z and tell me what you feel.

 

Have you even test driven a Z? Anyone who is basing their information from others that the Z is underpowered obviously have not driven one. Experience it for yourself and you can decide on your own if the Z is right for you.

 

Buy a Z.
