370Z 40th Anniversary Edition

danny@FontanaNissan

I heard our first 40th edition drop off in February. We don't require any deposits. If you guys have any questions or wants to reserve one, pm me anytime.

I'd just checked with our Nissan Rep earlier this morning. I hope this would help you guys out a little bit. Nav is not available with the 40th anniversary package. It's all only one spec- exterior- 40th anniversary graphite grey, red interior. 40th anniversary package includes exclusive paint, exclusive red seats/door inserts, seatback embroidered with "40th" logo, 40th exterior badging, floor mats, car cover, premium smoke finish wheels, red brake caliper finish and plaque of authenticity. The sport package is required on the 40th, and they will be 6 speed only.

That's interesting. I would have thought a loaded up Anniversary would include Navi or at least have the option to add it. I guess it's easier for Nissan to build them all the same way since the production is limited.

In Germany (and I think all over in Europe) the "40 Anniversary" is full equipped include the NAV. There is no option to order a "40 Anniversary" without NAV or without other specs.

I know it, because I ordered my "40 Anniversary" about 6 weeks ago

Greetings from Germany.

Hmmm, you'd kinda think that Nissan would take this opportunity to increase their gross profit margins by making the 40th Anniversary models come fully loaded with NAV.

That would force buyers to order the "whole enchilada", so to speak. Kinda like what EBGames did when they limited their pre-orders on the PS3 bundles.

To be honest, the only real thing that I like about the 40th Anniversary model is the red leather seats.

Yes, I believe it's much easier for Nissan to have a cookie cutter and make them all as 1 configuration. I have several of dealerships that confirmed with Nissan's Rep it doesn't come with NAV. This pretty much validates with that 40th Anniversary Edition article stating the price be ~$38K MSRP. (which is the same or a little less than the MSRP of a regular fully loaded 6Spd MT, Touring + Sports + NAV) So unless Nissan announced another price for the 40th Anniversary above $40K with NAV, I don't think it's gonna allow NAV as an option. Also, if customers even are allowed to have a say in what we want (such as NAV or NO NAV), we should be customizing these cars already now because they're beginning the production in January. And from what I know, they're gonna just build 1000 units (not a lot) and get it over with at the beginning of the year so they can have the plant move on building regular model 370Zs. I believe Nissan is just gonna distribute a limited amt (1-4 per dealerships, some may not even get any) of these pre-configured 40th Anniversary Edition Z's and the dealership won't even be able to have any say in the way they're built.

I've so far called up a lot of other dealerships and a lot of internet fleet managers have absolutely no clue of this 40th Anniversary Edition and claim that their computer system is letting them input it with the NAV as an option - which I pray god is true because I want a 40th Anniversary Edition with NAV. But they can claim whatever they want, truth be told is most likely when they call their Nissan Rep, they're gonna find out they made a mistake on their computer system forms and we're not able to order it with NAV.

I can say this for sure, not a lot of people in US is willing to pay $2K for factory NAV, (I'm not one of them because I actually am in love with Nissan's Factory NAV and think it's worth that $2K), but $35K for a sports car is already a lot in most people's budget, esp in an economy like this.....not a lot of people can settle for an unpractical car like the 370Z. Unless they really have that kind of a money and be able to get by with a 2 seater, most people need 4 seats even if it's a 2 door.

Unlike Japan or Europe, they have the option of getting the 40th Anniversary Edition with NAV and the Nismo version with Leather and NAV because people would buy it....unlike our base model Nismo 370z - which I'm sure a lot of people would have got if it came with a lot of the practical ammenities that daily drivers would want (i.e. garage opener, electrical seats), but because they know if they do make one with it, people won't want to buy it at a higher cost than it's already expensive $39K MSRP sticker price.

So it's looking pretty discouraging, looks like I'm not gonna be able to get the car of my dreams. They won't make special request for customers to add NAV because they know for a fact people will still buy them like hot cakes. Plus, I believe not a lot of people are even willing to pay $40k+ for a Nissan Z. Otherwise, they should make a NISMO + 40th Anniversary Edition + NAV for $47K MSRP, and i'd still buy it! But then again, I believe there are many people on this forum with a regular sports (Non Touring Models) that will disagree with me because they have a better way to spend that money on aftermarket stuff or performance only parts.

Well, this is just what I believe make sense to Nissan and I pray I'm wrong and they do make one with NAV....

Peter............

Glad you were able to get a fully loaded (including Navigation) 40th Anniversary 370Z. I guess that is one of the many benefits of living in Germany.

Please post so we can see this model at its full . . . Special . . . 40th Anniversary potential. How much did you have to pay for the options that will not be available in cars shipped to the USA?

orpit

Hi Antbear,

Sorry, my american skills aren’t so good but I think I know what you mean.

The” 40th Anniversary” in Germany is equipped as follows:

370Z – Manual transmission
Color: Metal quarz or Metal black
Wheels: 19”-Rays in dark chrome
Red Leather interieur with stitching on the seats
Multimedia system (NAV + Entertainment)
BOSE-Sound system
Red caliper
Special floor mats

The price advantage compared to the standard 370Z is 1.290,00 EURO.

I posted pictures few weeks ago. Please see them on page 6 of this thread.

Greetings and a happy new year for all… from Germany.

"Nav is not available with the 40th anniversary package."


That should reduce the number of 40th anniversary Z's that are sold. Anniversary models should have at the least ..... all the options available since they are suppose to be Special.

I had the 20th Anniversary model Maxima. It had all the options plus a special exhaust system, a few more horsepower, 20 anniversary stitched into the seats plus other special interior appointments and ground effects. These were were not available on the other models. A Special Edition should be just that ............. Special.

I seriously doubt that.

I bought a 41k Nismo and put a 1k nav in it, that plays DVDs, so I don't see the problem here. If the 40th anniv edition is anything like the nismo, and it sounds like it is, it will come with a double DIN radio that is modular and easily replaced. problem solved.
