To each his own but just out of curiosity, what is it about the '14 that seems so ugly to you? I pulled up photos of the '10 and the '14 to compare and they are essentially the same except for the grille area.

Did you not see the ugly dark gray side skirts and front lip? also the top of the spoiler is dark gray. no matter what color you buy they are all dark gray. dont forget about the silly red laser beam looking stickers on the front back and side mirrors.

and if im not mistaken the entire dark gray lip "look" originate from cheap civic owners who buy a lip kit but cant afford to get it painted to match the car. so they cruise around with the unpainted lip until it eventually falls off the car.

apparently some people think it looks good, so nissan copied it.


p.s. the silver nismo wheels look the best. dark wheels are so played out.

(see people with ugly scarfs like it) jkjk

i do like the steering wheel (even though the suide felt cheap) and the nismo logo on the back of the 2014's. ;)

Concur... 2014 is the model year the Nismo was ruined.

I'm on my second Z (had a 350 before this), but if Nismo styling is going that way, this will be my last one...

Get the latest black book so you know the bare bones value of the car. Bring it with you as an anti-horseshit amulet.

All those details I like about the car although I wouldn't characterize them so sardonically. Like I said, to each his own. :tiphat:

agreed, to each his own:tiphat:

Never really thought about selling my Nismo its an 09 with 60k on it so the price would be pretty good if I did sell it. I also live in Houston, TX which isn't far from SA. PM me if you're interested. Fuct, the guy in ur apt. still looking for one? Lmk.

I just picked up 2010 #444 for $20k w/ 60k Miles - This is the worst possible time to shop for Sports Cars and Convertibles, You always want to buy in the dead of Winter and Sell at the start of Summer.

Bought my '07 HR 350Z during December '11 and got it down to 14k from 18k (put 2k on the top - only had to finance 12k) when they were still going for 18~22 all day.

Traded it in for the Nismo 370Z and got my 12k right back (2.5 years later), HR's still clear auctions for 12-16k here in Houston.

My advice to all HR owners, Get rid of them this summer if you still want something for them - Once the Z35 drops Z33's are going to hit rock bottom (especially DE's)

I agree, and the only way the value of the Z33 and Z34 don't drop is if the Z35looks like ****.

It has to do with the mileage. When you get over 20k your car is not worth trading. Its basically a daily driver and not worth crap. A convertable with touring and sport package is your best bet for resale.

I just think you have to be patient and do a lot of shopping.

Don't be afraid to call dealers that post on Autotrader.

I bought my 2013 Nismo in February for $36,000 and it only had 1800 miles on it. It came with every upgrade they offer including the Bose, lighted door sills and back up camera. Hell I think that's all the upgrades they offer :rolleyes:

They even added clear bra and some theft deterrent system to the car for free.

I felt like I got a great deal and that's all that matters - is how you feel after the deal is done :tiphat:
