Default Sell 04 Z for a 07 or 08 Z?

Ok guys should I sell my 04 Z, black 6spd 24k miles. For a 07 or 08 Z? Reasons, better headlights and taillights, better stock brakes, better interior minor, better tranny, and of course the better engine HR.

if the HR isnt what youre going after, buy some used head/tail lights and get the hr hood. done.. saves you another loan and time

If you got the money go for it. If you will have bills, HELL NO. I have a 07. It is very nice. And you will see a difference in the power but its not worth having bills again. Plus you have pretty low miles for an 04.

Just get the Lights.

The HR is the main thing that I want, cuz I like NA power and it is a much better platform. The other things are minor I know I was just mentioning them. I just wish there was a way to make the DE more powerful without a Turbzzzz. Ya know what I mean?

I have been running this question through my mind for a few weeks

Lots of little things besides the motor, headlights and taillights also to think about, ive been over and over it in my head and it always leads me to a 370z, and then some other cars...

In your case, you could find the right buyer for your low mile Z and might be able to pick up a 07/08 for about the same or just a little more, consider your state taxes also to see if its worth it for you

I mean I wanna stay with the Z. I don't really like 370s and replacing head lights and tai lights is useless unless mine break. I think I'll just wait till the next Z comes out lol.

This is a good point...his car has low miles and he could pick up an HR with HIGHER miles (50K), yet well cared for, for about 3-5K more. I have an 08 manual Touring and it's the best Z ever made.

No way IMO. Unless youre tracking the car you wont notice any difference in power running around town.
