Hello great forum folks. I signed up to take a look around and see what y'all are saying about the 370z. After talking with my dealer today, I am test driving a 2009 touring, platinum with persimmon which I really like. I know y'all are biased but hopefully you can shed some light or an opinion as if it were you making the decision. I have a 2008 Titan that I bought new and I have a great 1.99% interest rate on and as you might imagine, I'm a little upside down but that's nothing new for me (it really is a sickness) and I thought since the dealer has HAD a few 09s on the lot, they might want to deal, but I'm not so sure. The MSRP of the 370 is $35785.00 and they are offering a trade in of $23,500 on the truck, which is about 2k over clean trade in according to NADA and nothing off the MSRP. I don't care where they put the savings, I just had hoped for more than 2k in savings. I am having a hard time with giving up the awesome interest rate I have now on my Titan b/c I know there aren't any finance deals right now and the best rate I'll probably get is somewhere around 6%, plus my payment will go up a few bucks (not really a biggie) but my overall amount paid (incl. total finance charges over the life of the loan) will go up substantially. At the same time I have liked the car since the 350 came out but the new styling has really caught my attention. I'm thinking it might be better to wait until next year and grab a 2010 deal but if your like me, it's a now or never kind of thing and I really like the car. Anyway, a bunch of rambling on my part, so please give me your thoughts.
