Is this a good deal?
 

I found a 2009 Black 370Z Touring with Sport Pkg. / NAV / Auto Trans. and 100k extended warranty with 8k miles for $31,000.

Is this a good deal?

To me, it is !

If you are passing it, please give me the contact info lol

Considering I got my automatic 2009 Chicane Yellow with Touring pkg, floor mats and splash guards that had 11,500 miles for 27,200 OTD I'd say that's a pretty good deal. I would totally steal that from you because it has nav/sport pkg but I love my yellow Z. :) Also yes that includes a 10 year 100k mile warranty on the powertrain and GAP. :)

Well if everything goes right, I will be the new owner of a Black 2009 370Z by this weekend! Even though it wasn't exactly what I wanted. Can't seem to locate a white or blue touring with sport/nav/6spd.

I can see settling on color and nav but not on the tranny.......Wait dammit!

Bullseye: there is a PW 6 speed M/T fully loaded in Elizabethtown, KY. 5000 miles on it. I could have gotten it OTD ( that includes 7.5% tax for ohio) for 34002.50 . Check it out on auto trader. I believe the Dealerships name is Swopes, talk to the sales manager. His first name is Taylor. Seems like a good deal....just not for me at this time. good luck and let me know what u think.

Agreed, dont settle for something that you're going to regret down the road, a tranmission decision can completely ruin the experience for you. Theres more than one board member here that made the wrong transmission choice and they're a$$ed out until the next Z comes out, wait, you wont be sorry.

Wait and get the one you want. There are plenty around, and that price is ballpark.

Do you guys think the tranny will make that big of a difference in the performance of the Z?

If you REALLY want the manual it would. A lot loved the auto(as do I), but we CHOSE it, we didn't COMPROMISE for it. Remember that.

Edit: To be clear it's not a matter of performance, but preference. They are mostly equal in performance with the auto having a slight advantage. :)

Also keep in mind that the stock auto tranny will also not be able to stand up to high power applications, the manual will, so if you plan on doing a 500+hp build in the future, the 6MT is your best option.

I don't know how true that is, but yeah they would have a theoretical limit of reliable power, than again so does the manual. You can upgrade the valve body, torque converter, and add a transmission cooler for that purpose though.

I think an auto might be a better choice for me anyways, since this will be my main commuter! Atlanta traffic is no joke!

oh c'mon man, i think you're just looking for an excuse to buy the Z, traffic should be no object or deterring factor in your choice of transmission, I drive through heavy traffic every day, its as simple as clutch in, shift to neutral, clutch in, shift to 1st, its not a difficult operation, however if you're completely lazy and cant handle shifting a few times, then maybe you're better off with an auto.
