I have been looking around for the perfect Z to buy for a couple of months now, now i was about to pay 27k for an 07 touring but i made a post and you guys advised against it and i listened, and am very thankful for that. I received a lot of comments saying if i was willing to spend that much i should save up for a 370z. The most my budget allows me at this moment is 30k. So now my question is what are the chances that the 09 or 2010 370z's prices will drop when the new year comes around? do you guys think the dealers will sell them for cheaper or what or will the prices remain the same? If i could buy one for 28k including taxes i would be all over that, even 30k including taxes. Just want to hear your guys opinions, if not ill just buy an low mileage 08 350.

 

definitely wait for the 370z. I've seen many 370z's with a price of about 30k here in NorCal. I'm sure it won't be long till you get one

 

Buy a 2007 and use the rest for mods.

 

Same shoes as you sir,

What I decided to do was get a low mileage 08 350z - as I test drove both back to back and felt little improvement in straight line acceleration, with that trait being what I want out of this car.

You can pick up a touring or enthusiast 08 with low mileage (<25,000 miles) for 18-20k.
In addition if you are paying cash your negotiating power goes up and you might even be able to get one cheaper!

with the 10k saved you can either mod the 350 or just put away the 10k in a high yielding account and not take a 20% depreciation hit on a new or used 370z

And to be honest 350>370 in styling department

 

It's in personal preference. Which do you like better?

As for your budget, you can find a used 370 for under 30k.

 

when i was looking for my 350 a few months ago my budget was 20k. and i found a few 370's for 25-30k. i would stay stick it out and wait for that 370

 

Buy the 350Z, skip the mods, use the extra money going places and doing things.

 

pick up a touring or enthusiast 08 with low mileage (<25,000 miles) for 18-20k and the rest go with: GTM 350ZHR SUPERCHARGER Stage 1 Turn key kit $6000 and $4000 for install and supporting mods

 

Just curious, why aren't you going past 3k rpm in your Z? It's meant to be driven!! haha

 

wow.... why would you ever spend even close to $30k on a Z...


don't spend a dime over $20k and find a great low-mile 2007...

 

^that

 

I haven't found a situation yet where I needed more than 3K to go as fast as I wanted to go or as quickly as I wanted to go. Whenever I want more excitement, it'll be right there.

 

You can always bargain for a 370Z no matter 2010 or 2011. You may get a better price on a 2010 IF the 2011 is on the lot.



How about a used 370Z for $28,097?

get the 370z... SOOOOO Much better car. Don't boost it. Maybe a set of wheels, slight drop and just drive the damn thing

 

someone take this mans Z away from him please!! lol

 

I found a light hit 370z in monterrey blue w clean title and
no frame damage for under $20k. Prob $2k and some leg
work to make it perfect.

 

lgear how the brembos holding up?

 

if you're at sonic today you can see for yourself!

perfect otherwise... can't wait for new ams rotors and pads though!

 

I think i am going to wait it out then, see if i can pick up a 370z if the prices drop, if not gonna pick up an 07/08. Thing is when you guys say don't spend more than 20k for a low mileage 07/08...is that including taxes or what?? cause all the dealers where i live (NY) are asking 24k at least lol...without taxes. I can't buy from a private seller because then i have to take a loan from the bank and the interest rates are like 13-14% so gotta buy from a dealer.

 

so find a new bank. my credit union is financing new (2011 or 2009/10 with less than 10k miles) at 3-4%

I looked at a 2009 sport last december with 8k miles for $27,999.

Your preference for options will be key in getting an affordable 370 also. Touring models are going for much more than base, obviously. Personally, after test driving 5 or 6 now, I'd like a base with sport package.

anyways, autotrader has 17 listed within 200 miles of me (central mass) for under 30k.

If you aren't super picky about miles, I found a 2009 Sport with 25k miles.
