i just test drove an 07 z and am wonderin if its worth it to trade in my 06 with 2500 miles on it for one. what do you guys think

 

$wise for you, no.

 

+1

 

No. Wait till 2009 when the new 350z come out with more horsepower than the 2007 and a whole new body style.

 

Get the 07, its worth it :P

 

just mod your 2006, some guy just posted a dyno of his 06 with mrev2+ spacer and exhaust. He made more HP and torque till about 6000 rpms than the new 07. Im pretty sure it's on the same dyno as well.

The first dyno is the vq35hr.

 

No way

 

sounds like are a retarded idea to me...just throw a few mods on the 06 and wait another 2 years until the car gets overhauled

 

I have an 06 currently(had an 04 also) and drove the 07. There really isn't enough change for me to justify the trade. The hood looks alot better on the 06 anyways. The engine is really a toss up. I was expecting a really different feeling, but I didn't think too much of it to be frank. I just decided to wait on the redesign for 09 and by that time I'll have a good idea about the GT-R as well. The engine doesn't mean much to me simply bc whatever I get will get FI...so its all about the design for me. All I care to have are TT's and a Navigation system...

 

With the difference in the hit you'll take on depreciation, you could mod your '06 to surpass the '07.

 

Who's the "some guy" that posted that duno for his 06? I'd like to find out what mods he has. Looks like very substantial gains. Almost too good to be true. Maybe environmentals were different too.

 

That's the conclusion I came to. I just bought an 06 in May of 06. I drove an 07 was not impressed enough to warrant a trade.

It's not worth the hit I'd take.

 

Don't do it, its not even worth it. You have an '06 which is almost similar to '07 except the hood which isn't like getting a Mustang V8 over a Mustang V6. Your better off saving money for a future car, or a more updated, new look Z which I think will happen in a few years. They will take a big bite out of your '06 in depreciation. I have an '05 with almost 9K miles, and I love to have an 06/07, but it does not justify me losing money over more horses and new front look. If they made 100+HP, or a twin-turbo, then I would jump on it.

 

ya you guys are all right its not worth it. i think ill go with the mrev2 and plenum spacer

 

Its worth it comming from a modded 04 to an 07. I can feel the differnce big time. For me I wouldnt be able to stand my 04 untill the re design because I would have close to 100,000 miles by then and the interior was all messed up. So for you with the 06 .... if you got the money to burn then why not. If your tight then hold off.

 

Odometer only read at 2k?? It is NOT worth it.
Put that money into mods that is already available for your '06.

 

If I were you I would...

Never mind. I am not you. Please delete.

 

You will be over your head in payments. The dealer will buy back your 06 at a much lower rate than what you owe on it. I don't know what you pay now, but you would likely pay a couple of hundred bucks more a month for the same car.

 

If you do it, ask the dealer if some Vaseline comes with the deal.

 

I say don't do it. Dealer trade in is gonna screw you. With 2500 miles on your 06, you couldn't have had it for long. Your gonna pay the same, if not more, for the 07 and your trade in value will be lowballed.
