Default Thinking of trading in my 350z for 370z.

I called the same dealership that I purchased my 350z from and asked them how much they would give me for my current Z. Surprisingly they offered me around 20k -22k. I thought to myself maybe it’s not such bad idea to upgrade. I just wanted your guy's opinion. Should I go for it?

If you own your current Z. (IE: no lien on it) Sure..Tho imo a private sale could net you a bit more. As dealers never put their customers interest 1st.


If you do have an outstanding loan on the 350? Unless you want to join the countless other upside-down loan suckers.. Nope.

Its an 08 base model. mileage is little under 20k and paid off. my other thought is do I want to start making payments again. ya'll think 370z is worth it?

Keep it. Not much difference in performance and your car is paid off, unless you like how the 370Z looks over it and/or just want a new car. Otherwise, it's just spending more money.

The only 370 I'd think about getting is a nismo.... I actually like the body kit and the performance of it is an extra.....

I went to the dealership to get an alignment and in the showroom they have a 370Z Nismo, a 370Z 40th Anniversary, and a GTR

Now, I have to admit that if they were giving away cars, I would take the GTR based on performance and price, but I was a multimillionaire, then I think I would have picked up the 370Z Nismo as my daily driver.

That car is beautiful but if I were spending $40K, I think I would go differently

I also traded up to a 370 from an 05 350. There was a noticeable difference in performance. From an 08 it may not be as noticeable straight line wise, but it will be with grip, braking, handling, interior quality, and the biggest plus I think is, exclusivity!

Honestly, if I had a paid off 08 I doubt I would get the 370, but I had a paid off 05 and it made perfect sense for me

Biggest changes are interior upgrades, tranny and new body style. If you dislike these things in your current Z and feel it's worth the extra moolah, then go for it.

Go test drive it and see what you think. Might love or hate it.
