Default Anyone bought a Nismo lately?

I am looking at possible picking up a Nismo and have contacted several dealers. However, the dealers are not budging on price. I looked at one that was listed at $30,995 and they came down to $29,915. Another one was listed at $27,995 and they came down $100. I would think with the 370z out they would be more willing to play ball and negotiate. Just wondering if anyone has bought/shopped recently and what their experience was, thanks.

28K has been the average now for sometime. If your serious snap it up. I would advice waiting till November when they will be alittle more motivated to move it off their lot.

I have to say that the Nismo 350z is still a step up from a Base 370z or even an enthusiast. Also, the Nismo 370z is no Gem... They may have tuned some extra HP out of it, but lacked on the brakes & suspension.

If I owned a 370z their would be a scrap pile of stock parts in the 1st month of ownership! I would have an extensive list of upgrades to do before I would be satisfied with that car.

But hey thats just IMO!

Couldn't agree with you more actually...

I originally was looking at the 370z (sports pkg.) But I think the Nismo 350z will better suit my needs as a weekend car/track toy. I test drove a 40th anniversary edition and noticed absolutely no difference in power and acceleration. The Nismo 350z also felt a little bit more stiff/tighter. The whole high oil temp issue and limp mode of the 370z is also a big turn off. Lastly, I prefer the looks of the Nismo 350z over the 370z. Figured the $5k+ price difference would be much better spent improving the Nismo down the road. Looks like I'll be waiting for winter to come and see what kind of deal I can find.

Bought my 07 nismo this past July 4th from a private seller in AL. 07 very clean. Perfect condition 4500 miles 27k out the door. I've loved it since. Now has 6000 miles


If u like the car ****** it up. They're not gonna get much cheaper, cheapest I've found is from private sellers.

I got my 08 in March with 8k miles for 25k after taxes...I would wait another 2 months or so then the dealers will want to get them off the lot even more if they have some Nismo's.

I purchased an 08 PPW with 11k miles miles on it meticulously maintained for 26k a few months ago. I had to purchase another one because mine was totaled and I was kind of rushed and only wanted a white one like I had. My insurance gave me over 30k for mine which had 14k miles on it, so I would say that finding one around 25 - 29k would be a decent deal if it is in great condition.

I agree about waiting till late in year. I found my '08 the last part of Nov. 2008 and delt with them a couple weeks. It had 1,100 miles only. They started out wanting 35,500. I ended up making the deal for 31,000. It was kinda cool because I knew the car so I just did my dealings via email. Was able to avoid all the sales BS until sealing the deal for the price I requested once they agreed to it through email.

+1 Mine started at 29+fees - Deal online as much as you canand wait till end of year or month if you can't wait till end of year. they are trying to hit there numbers and are tighter at that time
