Sherwood told me they were getting 7 of these sharp looking cars. Looks very nice. Congrats!

40th anniversary edition compare to regular off the lot
 

I went to Nissan.ca to see what the diff would be if I order a non 40th anniversary edition, so I loaded this one up also with all that I could and the price was higher, it came in at $50,133 before tax, my 40th ann came in at $49.422.00 ($1,000) discount or it would have been $49,998.00
I placed my order in Oct. so my car was part of the Jan. 11 production, if anyone did not get there car yet, the last production run was in Feb. so expect you new Z 3rd week of April.
Anyways, total cost with tax came to $61,161
I got window tint, and the Z is Metallic paint.

The price will increase very quickly if you go with dealer offered additions (paint sealant, tint, extended warranty, etc). Plus don't forget, in Ontario, they also pay provincial tax (8%??)...ouch!

Also, the 40th anniv comes with Nav (i.e. fully loaded) in Canada, which adds $2500 over yours. I could have done without that package frankly. I would have been happy with a $500 Garmin portable unit.

how come i can't find any mention of the anniv ed on the nissan website? how are buyers supposed to know it even exists?

For official Infiniti and Nissan news and press releases, I go to
Nissan/Infiniti News Room

Good source of info and pictures.

The 40th is a nice car, but it is not for everybody. I am glad I stuck to my Black Rose model. To each their own!

Nissan 40th edition
 

You are correct, they only way I knew about it was searching the net and in the paper in the auto section, they had a full page on it, so I called me dealer, he had no idea what I was talking about. In fact he told me he talked to other dealers and the same thing, I think cause Canada only got 80 of them they went out to the dealers with the highest sales. In total I think only 3,000 have been made, I have to go back an check but 80 in Can, 380 in the US and in all of Europe 270 or so. I might be off by 25 in total but those are about how many in total they made. I was told only two production runs, on was on Jan 11th, is when mine was made and I think all that got them now came from that production run, the 2nd and last production run is Feb.

When I told my dealer about this car he had to call his contacts at Nissan Canada in Toronto and they only heard that a special edition was in the "plans" but he would pull one aside for me.

In Ontario we have a Province tax of 7% and GT of 5% then add in Ext. warranty, freight, air tax, protection plan etc. it adds ups. I did not get the rust protection for the underbody put on, I find that messy so like my Jeep I got that device you have connected to the battery that is ECC rust module

complete roadside assistance plus 4 FREE oil changes which on the 370Z is about $94 each.

Ya if I got just a reg. Z and went out to upgrade on my own might have saved me a few $$ but for me it's worth it, turn key, get all that I want, and if anything goes wrong I bring it to one place and no finger pointing.


I looked at the low model Cayman Porsche and your getting nothing at a base price, time you load her up, looking at low 90, for what your getting with the Z is compared to a fully loaded Porsche at about 40k less.

Plus this is a collector item in time and will hold it's value.

40th anv edition
 

I think I made an error, not 3,000 cars made I think in total they made under 800 cars world wide for this special edition. The car also comes with a certification and cover for the Z.

The wife and I like the black rose color. It's also unique and reminds me of the brickyard colour they had for the 2003 350z.

Mmmm, also they are making only 1000 units according to everything I've read, and Canada is getting 88 of them.

The thing is, if I were a salesman I would make it a point to know the products that I'm selling and make sure I know about it more than the customer. Previously and at another dealership one salesman told me the 370z had 300HP and instead of having "Brembo" written on the brakes they went with "Nissan" in 2010. When I hear such blatantly erroneous info I call them out on it. I see that all the time. If the consumer can findout all this info so easily online, the seller should make better efforts to disseminate the same to their staff and their staff should make a better effort to learn their product info more thoroughly...sorry, enough of my ranting. :-)

Nice to have a unique car. Mine will always be the first Black Rose in coupe style sold in Canada!

Really? Cool. They told me mine was the first one they sold and the first one in all of Edmonton. Cool too if it was true. :icon17:
