2017 370z

Darwins Child

Approximately what date will the 2017 370Z Enthusiast (AKA base) arrive at Canadian dealerships? (Put differently, approximately what date last year did the '16s arrive at dealerships?)

Does anyone know whether that trim for the '17 will have any features that the '16s do not have?

The reason I'm asking is because I'm thinking that at this point in the model year that if the price of the '17 is the same as that of the '16, I'd wait for the '17.

Thanks for the information.

The last time I spoke to my dealership there was a $500 price difference and no spec difference but just call a dealer they got the pricing etc at least a month ago.. what color are you going with?

Darwins Child

Probably red.

Thanks for the spec and price info.

Do you know approximately what date the '17 will arrive in showrooms?

you might be able to haggle a better price on the 16' as there isn't anything major changing in terms of performance.

you might also want to consider the sports package since it comes with bigger brakes, 19'' rays, SRM and a LSD

dvboy

Yea but here in Canada the sport package is an additional $14k.As ridiculous
as it sounds the base is 30k and the sport package is 44k,that 14k can do a lot in the aftermarket.

by the time you buy bbk, better wheels (and have to stay on par to the OEM rays no cheap POS) and an LSD you are at 14k CDN easy

IMO the SRM is also worth mentioning as a +(positive)

not to mention the tires on the sport package are better.........

My wife and I are retired Edmontonians and are looking for the first, and probably last, summer toy of our lives. We're not racers and I likely won't be doing any mods. The most "abuse" we (I) will subject the vehicle to is the occasional stop-light drag race and some spirited driving through the mountains.

We almost never listen to the radio or CDs in a vehicle, so the basic radio is just fine with us.

The fact that this trim has cruise and blue tooth phone is great.

We would indeed like a backup camera, but I will install a very inexpensive aftermarket wifi backup-camera system, complete with adjustable guide lines.

The one and only problem, and it is a rather big one, is that my wife would prefer an auto, which as everybody knows, is not available on the Enthusiast. But like Red Green, she says she can live with a standard, "if I have to, I guess". The option of adding an auto trans for say $1200 would make the Enthusiast the perfect vehicle for us, but I guess that's not in the cards for the '17.

Re-sale value is important to us. Low-km used 370Zs, even '09s, are mostly priced at around $23K and upwards to within shooting distance of a brand new Enthusiast. Because we're not getting any younger, I doubt if we'll own whatever we buy for more than 2 or 3 years and, obviously, we'd like to get back as much of the purchase price of the vehicle as possible. For example, were we to buy a '17 Enthusiast as soon as it becomes available (which is why I'm so interested in just exactly when that will be), if we decide to sell it two years down the road with under say 8K kms of rather gentle summer-only driving on it, I believe that we could sell it for just a couple thousand less that we paid for it. But maybe I'm dreaming, so please educate me.

Thanks.

I guess my point is that the base is a real bargain here in Canada.The base in the US sells for 30k in US funds with the sport package costing $33,570.That's only $3,357 to move up to the sport package which most would agree to be well worth it on the other side of the boarder,not so much here.

I went with the base model too I really wanted the LSD but 14k is a lot of cash.. at that point id probably just spend another 3k on top of that and get the nismo, 30k is a good deal for the base IMO

Cornchip

I know last year the 16's were available in late May.

barncobob

here in Ca my 16 sport was about $3500 more than base, why would it be $14K up there? I wouldn't pay that much for an upgrade of this nature.

Darwins Child

Thanks! Likely it will be the same month this year, which will be just fine.

I picked up my 16 base last Saturday and i don't find it lacking in anything. My situation is like yours being retired and dare i say older. I wouldn't spend 14k for the next model up either and I'm quite happy with what irreceived for 30k plus tax and freight. Smaller wheels means it rides not as stiffly as the other models and radio and interior are quite nice for me. Just breaking it in but this car obviously handles like a go kart and has way more power than I'll ever need. Enjoy your purchase.

Darwins Child

Neither would we, but this is reality here In the great white north.

Darwins Child

Good for you! Frankly, I have never driven a 370Z, but I have driven three 350Zs for very short rides. I had the same impression as you -- a car that handles like it's on rails. I would imagine that the 7 is the same. I don't usually get excited about vehicles, but I am at the prospect of driving one of these pocket rockets whenever I get the urge. It will be an expensive toy, but what the heck, we only live once and it's now or never.
