Hi guys, I am new to the forum. Recentely got a 2011 370Z base with AT but after driving aound 2000 miles, felt boring...Think i prob need a manul with sport pkg car. But the 10+370z with spork pkg mt is too much for me to trade in my new base model. BUt found a 08 black Nismo equiped with kenwood navi HU and a subwoofer with 26k miles. The dealer is willing to do an even trade without upfront cost no tax also. So what do you guys think? I do like a big wheel with manul shifts sports car. The 350z nismo looksss smoking hot!!! It has no noticable repainting signs on the car looks perfect. Any ideas will be appreciated. Thanks guyssssss! helpppppppppppppp

BTW i paid around 31K for the 370z. The dealer is asking for 29k for that nismo. Do yall think it is worth the trade?

up to you man. honestly if it was me i would look harder for a dealer that would make a fair trade for a manual 370. but if i was desperate for it yeah i would take the loss (if you can call it that) and get the nismo.

i would do it -_-

thx man, but for the sport pkg and manul shift; I really can not find any good cars for 10+ 370 in my aera. It not worth to do it. Do you think the 29k for the 08 nismo is fair priced? Prob because of the installed navi, sub and intake? but for those three they did save me a lot of modification. i wont loss too much huh due to the rare nismo? lol their value stays? haha

I would wait around for a better deal.. There have been some nismo's that went for under 20k in the marketplace.. You can find them around 24k or so depending on miles, year, etc.

I dont like the silver 370 nismos but they are all silver ones in my place...havnt seen any orther colors or else listed in my metropltan. I think the 350 nismo does have a better looking IMO Maybe the lower offer nismo may have very bad quality which I do not want to have. Anyway, thanks man. I appreciate

your car is so new =/ i think keeping it and waiting for a better deal for a 370 manual would be a better thing to do, you're practically taking a loss for trading in a newer car for an older model one thats also manual and being manual iso suppose to make the car cost a bit less than an AT car. just my 2 cents, I recently got my 350 AT myself and I kinda regretted it too but i rather just wait for a deal to pop up and trade my car later on. ^^ good luck on whatever you choose.

I thought nismo 350z were going in the $22k-$27k price range.

ian2thumbsup

thx man,well i just want an even trade that is worth my car the MT 370zs with sport pkg are too high priced due to the limited quantities and the popularity or have too many miles on that. Even 24k miles for the 2010 370 sp at is priced for 34k!!!damn! hate the tsunami. it is the bad timing to buy zs..

In fact, there are two nismos for sale in the market place on the forum here. Both are 2008, one has 46k miles and the seller is $22.5k and the other has 27k miles and the seller is asking $24k.

ian2thumbsup

yay that is true. the dealer only offers 26k for my car. so basiclly they lower 3k to match my car. I tried the orther deals too the base AT 2011 is only worth no more than 27K. So if i want to ever trade a 10+ mt sp i need to pay couple thousands more, which obviously i dont want to.....This nismo is the only one right now fits my budget and drives amazing good! also has the good aftermarket modifications.

I'd personally go for a 370z Sport (Base or Touring). Going down to a 350z would be a downgrade when you've had a 370z.

Are you financing your current 370Z? Cuz if you aren't, just finance that extra amt for a 2010 6MT Base / Sport or Touring / Sport. Only be a lil bit more each month. Gotta pay to play.

ian2thumbsup

thx for the reply i didnt do finance( the base 2010 with sport manul is rare too...sigh... i know the 370 to 350 is a downgrade that why I will give some credits to the 350 nismo. they have a better desgin and agressive look,,,

You want the 6spd and in 99% of driving the power difference is not noticeable (driven both) Although the 370 has a nicer interior I think!

also your 370 is base
the 350 is NISMO , from bottom to top trim level

AlloyZ

It is not a down grade, I drove and looked at both the Sport 370 and 6spd HR , I chose the HR BC of looks Exterior wise, interior the 370 is slightly better but these are not luxury cars now are they? But dont call it a down grade, just a change both preform well street and track.
Basically I would put up my stock Hr Z33 with me driving against a stock sport 370 any day on a road course bet they come within milli sec of each other if the other driver is well trained and knows the course the same as me, either could pull the WIN. I have seen it.

All good info, on which to get!

But as far as price, all Z cars are running below 27k used! Just keep shopping around!

ian2thumbsup

Thx man. Yes the power difference is not enough to notice. And the exterior the 350 nismo looks way better than the 370 nismo IMO. The interior for 350 nismo is black and red cloth have 6 speakers , which is better than the 370 4 speakers. And i love the orange calipers so whether I keep mine or trade it , either way should be fine? And btw the nismo will keep their values? I saw nismo with 50k miles still priced for 20+?
