2015 Nismo

janglez · 08-30-2014, 10:24 AM

love the black but never doing that again (rx8 was black)...too hard to take care of
red is my favorite color but red striping doesn't show (nice nissan)
don't care for white on a sports car (not flashy enough)
guess it's silver for me (will have door handles painted black or red metallic so they show better)
just my opinion but nissan screwed up putting the red striping on a red car

Personally I love the black and white colors.

The red striping really has a fantastic "minimalist" approach with a black body.

On the white body, the red striping brings more attention to the black trim. IMHO, almost all white cars look better with black lower trim.

The silver body -- especially from the front -- just screams catfish at me, so I'm not a big fan of it.

I agree with the red body: you can't see the striping and there isn't enough black trim. The red version shouldn't even have the striping and left full black.

Seems that sites are starting to post the invoice pricing.

According to CarsDirect, a dealer would pay in the neighborhood of $45,855 for a fully optioned AT Nismo Tech... then turn around and charge the buyer $48,020.

So something like $2165 profit for them if you're dumb enough to pay full sticker price.

yeah im pretty disheartened how little margin is in these cars. there is still 2.9% holdback and im sure I can get atleast half of that with my contacts..but my goal of getting one for 38K OTD dont look too good right now

A minor observation from car sale charts...

2014 sales for the Z were generally better than 2013. Depending on the month, something between 100 to 200 more cars per comparative month. However the numbers weren't incredible, per se -- 2010 through 2012 were better -- just that 2014 was better than 2013.

That changed for August though: 2013 sales were better than 2014... so the trend suddenly broke.

Expectation for the 2015 might have done that. Remains to be seen if the arrival of the 2015 boosts sales in future months.

Yea, I went in to check out the 370z hoping they might have a 2015 Nismo. They tried to sell me hard on a 2014, but I just don't see why anyone would buy a 2014 when the new models are coming out.

You can usually get a 14 cheaper once the new models are out. You have a little more wiggle room with them over a new one I feel. Plus the 2014s look better IMO. I just want those Nismo seats.
