If I were in your shoes, I'd sell the 350 privately. If you do go in for a trade-in, treat the trade in as a completely separate transaction. Don't even mention the trade-in until you negotiate the price of the 370z first. There is no reason you should be paying the full sticker price if what you want is on the lot. If they have to ship from elsewhere or direct from Nissan its a bit more difficult to haggle, but you should still be paying less than the sticker price. Go to kbb.com or edmunds.com. It's going to give you the price for your old car and your new car including the trade in values. The 350z in "good" condition is worth around $18,200 for trade-in...$20,500 if you sold it privately.

A fully loaded 2013 touring should be about $40,800 which has an invoice of $40,000. Always shoot for the invoice price. The dealer will still make money...don't let them tell you otherwise. Make them an offer and be prepared to walk away. If it's within reason, they'll call you back. Just be prepared to do some battle with the finance guys afterwards. They'll try to make up the difference by adding stuff on...like rust proofing and all that other non-sense.
