Not speaking for the OP, but $50.00 a month ($1.67/day) is not going to put him in the red.

The 370Z is a 'splurge' item, so splurge another $50.00 a month. Go for it, and stop wishing for the next 60 months that "I wish I have a Nismo."

Life is too short.

I totally agree with you on that one bro thats why I went ahead and pulled the trigger and traded my PW for the Nismo! :happydance:
I loved my PW 370z but i know im gonna be loving my Nismo even more :)

It's more than $50 a month in reality, that's just the payment change. He's also extending his payments by another year - real loss $7000.

Depends on what you plan to do with the car.

Going to use it as a daily driver? No, don't get the Nismo.

Going to track it? Most certainly get the Nismo.

:iagree: theres more to factor in than monthly payment. if my monthly payment on my car were 500, and i paid off 90% of the car already and had only 5000 in principal left, trading it in, increasing my principal to 15,000 and decreasing my monthly payment to 450 would not be saving me any money.


the nismo isn't any more track ready than the base/sport. both wouldn't make it more than a few minutes on the track before overheating. its not like the stock suspension on the base Z is taken from a 1999 buick park avenue.

OP, congrats on the new car. :tup: post some pics.


either way, the OP did what he wanted. i'm curious to see how the mod transfering goes... do you still have your stock parts to put back on?

My Nismo is a daily car..

yea dude, people daily drive cars way nicer than ours, i dont get what the big deal is.

Right, wrong or indifferent, congratulations

I am sure you are happy now and that's all that matters. You are no different than other members switching to Mustangs or Corvettes.

Now how about some pics!!!!

Thanks guys! yup im very happy with my new car. ill post some pictures as soon as i get the car.. right now im in the process of uninstalling everything (coilovers, black out headlight, camber kit, exhaust and wheel spacers) ill tell you its not as fun as installing them lol!

Well congratulations on the nismo

Congrats!!!

It's my understand the Nismo 370 suspension/chassis is more track oriented. I compared the standard 370's ride quality to the Nismo and found the Nismo to be much stiffer.

It may not make a difference to you, but to some people its a big deal to have to deal with a stiff suspension of daily usage.

Good luck with your financial decision. I love my touring Z with KW V3.

HA HA HA HA no way that math adds up - you are failing to include the amount of money he has spent on payments so far for his 09 PW...

Bingo!
