I agree. A GOOD paint job will run $5k+ at least.

Also, a wrap might not be a bad idea if you absolutely HAVE to get this one.

i would just sell it and find the color you want.... you wont lose that much since it will be almost like a swap....i honestly think that's the best because once you paint your car, its depreciating BIG TIME due to paint work on every panel and it wont be perfect like Nissan paints them since they spray the shell and frame with nothing in the way...im sure your going to have old paint somewhere on that car....not worth it.

I do wraps in the ATL area and if your looking to change color this is the best way possible! Your looking at about $1700 installed depending on color. You can PM me if that is the route you want to go. I also work with ArtCraft Collision out in smyrna they do all my work and really do an amazing Job!!! Pearl White is one of the hardest colors to match cause its a 3 stage pearl and they did it perfect everytime! They also have good prices let me know what you want to do and I will see if I can get you a discount.

That's definitely not unbeatable.

Well I mean its the lowest price by far that I've seen for 2010 NISMO's. Hey if anyone's willing to beat it then let me know please!

That's a phenominal offer right there from a company I hear alot of great things about. With that said OP, go for matte wrap!

Bullit will take care of you, very trustworthy dude. Ill be honest though I dont think that price is outstanding for 16k miles, when Im sure their are still new ones on the lots. Hell we had a white 09 on one of our local lots up till 3months ago.

JayYoon · 04-21-2011, 08:44 PM

I would just get a used white base 2010 370z nismo (16k miles) and get all s tune... it should still be cheaper...

Well heck, if you know of a NISMO in red, white, or black and its under this price with same or less miles then let me know! I need a dealership though for payments.

happytheman · 04-22-2011, 12:52 AM

Get pre-approved by a credit union or bank and you don't have to get the loan at the dealership. I bought my '09 w/ 10k miles w/ a 3.74% apr through my credit union! Check Cars.com, Autotrader.com and Carmax.com. You'll be amazed at what you can find with a little research and patience. Get what you really want and you wont have to spend good money for paint which will decrease your vehicles value. Spend the $3k for some a CAI and CBE!

tjlazer · 04-22-2011, 11:41 AM

I was faced with a similar delema. I wanted a Nismo Z. But I wanted a Blue Z more. I though about it and when I found a Base Z with Sports package for below invoice I jumped on it. I am now doing the full Nismo body conversion and mods... Better than painting a brand new car.... no thanks.

The only thing I'm slightly confused about this whole thing is, minus all miscellaneous expenses it basically comes down to:

Car price
Sales tax
APR
Interest Rate
Trade in value
Down payment

Right?

Or is the APR the same exact thing as the Interest Rate?

I'm trying to figure out what exactly my costs will be with:

$30k 370Z
$6000 trade in car
7% sales tax
No down payment
I believe 2.9% APR
Interest Rate?

tjlazer · 04-22-2011, 03:02 PM

^yes its the same thing. 2.9 is great btw
