nismohunter

Ok so the dealer sold the nismo i was looking at while i was waiting to get approved for a loan from my bank. So now i cant choose between 2 different z's.
the first one is
2005 track? has leather interior and brembros
30k miles
black
the dealership is asking around 17,990

the second is
2007 base model
35k miles
black
this one is a private seller and is asking 16k.

Which would be the better car to buy when it will mostly be used to drive around town and possibly a little track time from time to time.

I would get the 07

i was thinking about doing that but being in missouri with sumtimes bad weather it would seem the traction control would work a little better but im not exactly sure since im coming from an integra its a completely new ball game.

Get the 07 with the HR motor - you'll be much happier

For a 2000$ difference the 07 is definitely the way to go. Who needs cruise anyway

i appreciate all of the fast replies and I did not know that there was that big of a difference between the two engines lol.

The difference isn't too crazy (although more horsepower is more horsepower) as you gain more on the high end with the HR and lose more torque compared to the DE. However, the 07 has also has updated head and taillights which really give the Z a clean look (as well as other minor enhancements). That's worth it in itself.

Curious though, your username states nismohunter, yet you're looking for a regular ol 350? LOL.

Anyway, good luck.

07 no question.

lol my name is nismohunter because when i created this account i was rather sure i would be getting an 07 nismo but the dealer sold it while i was getting approved for a loan. Now there isnt any nismos around my area so im going to pick up a regular z because my integra just died lol.

I had a similar decision, 04 touring vs 08 base. I chose the base because of the HR engine, and you can always add the options to the car. Basically, your starting at a better platform with the 07.

Probably a moot point but it sounds as if the '05 is an Anniversary model or a Grand Touring. The Track model did not come with leather.

The second option is better for me. Are you aware that there are a lot of choices accessible whenever you purchase your car? You can get a loan as short as a couple of years to as long as seven years. Make sure you are at ease with the payment before purchasing. There is a website I came across that can help you get a car loan for you.
