I am looking to get a new (used) car and have decided on a Nissan Z. I have always loved the Z and want something fun. I have found 4 cars that are for sale in my area that I am considering.

1. 09 370Z--16,500 miles, red exterior, black interior, 6spd manual
Asking Price $28,000

Pros--newer model, current styling, only one other 370 where I live.
Cons--red wouldn't be my first color choice.

2. 08 350Z--17,600 miles, black exterior, black interior, automatic
Asking Price $21,370

Pros--price, car looks very clean, low miles.
Cons--not much.

3. 08 350Z Roadster--25,300 miles, gray exterior, black interior, automatic
Asking Price $25,995

Pros--never owned a convertible.
Cons--Never owned one so not sure about reliability of soft top over time.

4. 08 350Z Nismo--25,800 miles, white exterior, black/red interior, 6sp manual
Asking Price $29,995

Pros--NISMO, love the look, kinda rare
Cons-high price

Which would you pick if you were in my position?

 

I'd go with the NISMO if its clean(one owner)good records.The con to me would be the body kit on the 350 series NISMO...don't care much for the rear treatment.Much improved with the 370 NISMO
I'm not a big white car fan.But in your area..sure would fit right in.

 

the 370z for sure - they improved a lot of things with that car.

the nismo as a runner up since it looks gorgeous and is track proven.

never doing the automatic trans in a sportscar deal again, so that cuts the other two out.

 

My pick: 6 spd 370Z since the interior is the BEST!

Second: NISMO


Wish I could swap it into my 350z.

 

I voted for the Nismo 350Z but the price is too high. Not really a fan of the 370Z's looks though I understand it's a better car. The other two, well, they're automatics so that's a big negative. If there's an '07 or '08 Enthusiast out there, that's what I would get--HR motor, 6-speed, and no VDC.

 

370z.. MUCH nicer interior. less mileage. less $. it's newer. i personally prefer the colour more than white. and davidv has one haha

 

ha ha

Take both the 350Z and 370Z for a spin. The choice is obvious.

 

370 or the Nismo.

 

the nismo is a rip off, almost 30K???

 

yeah the nismo is overpriced. I'd say 24k max for that one

 

since when is the listed price on a posting ever a show stopper? serious offers + money talks. if it's something you're interested in there is zero harm in making an offer

 

my opinion is dont go with an auto, so your left with the 370z or nismo.... but i voted for the nismo, ethier one you will be happy with

 

i love owning rare cars so i chose the nismo 350. too bad its a bit overpriced if you can negotiate a lower price go for it.

 

1. Please (if it has sport package) other wise Nismo.

 

I would not get a 370z unless it came with Sports Package. I'm assuming you are just looking at a pure base model since it's priced that low. Sports package on a 370z is an option package priced below cost of what you'd actually get. $2-3k and you get Rays wheels + sports brakes and those alone would cost you a lot more to obtain if you bought them separately and get installed.

 

Nismo all the way....

 

Nismo!! get the price down tho, i gave 24k for mine 10 months ago and it only had 10k miles on it...

 

You also get the S-Mode auto rev match thingamajig.

 

None of them.... Take your time and figure out what you want. Decide if you want a 350z or a 370z and then decide if you want a manual or auto.

 

Lots of people considering a 350Z. Some do it. Others, like yourself, are all talk.
