May go from 09 Maxima to 370z

areyouin729 · 12-06-2009, 03:48 PM

the new Max is an incredible car but it's more for those with a family who wants some power as well

if you are single (not married) w/o kids, then go for the 370Z

I'm married with 3 kids. Does that mean I have to sell my Z?

Basically it's either the 370Z, or the Jeep SRT8.

It's a tough call, two totally different cars but same kind of fun factor. Getting dealer quotes on both.

Of course I'm going to lose money on the Maxima, but with the insanely low miles, it won't be too bad.

A tough call? Same kind of fun factor? An SUV and a sports car?

Hey guy- Just came from an '09 Max (Premium SV with all the tech) myself. Got an '09 Touring 6MT and I don't regret one thing. I was in a 39 month lease for the Max and get this-- I checked with Nissan and they sent me a letter stating there would be NO CHARGES for early termination of my lease. So, after almost every employee at the dealership and Nissan Finance wanting to copy the official letter (because they couldn't believe I would not be penalized for an early term) I got into a Z for 39 month term. Love it!

Totally different feel, and it's been challenging trying to find out how to get my stuff in and out of it. BUT, what I found was that I was haulin' around too much crap anyway so it gave me an opportunity to take a look at what I really needed to carry with me.

Great car!

Keep it, it's a great escape. I also have three kids with another on the way and my wife wouldn't let me get rid of the Z. I guess you could say it's our getaway car.

Great points. I love the Maxima, its an awesome car, but I like the whole unique sports car feel of the 370. I nearly bought an 08 Corvette last year before I bought the Maxima, but as sporty as it is it's just not a sports car

I'm also considering a 2010 Jeep SRT8, but the quality isn't what Nissan is from what I've seen and read.

Are the incentives coming out for December? Are they going to run 0% finance on 09s? What pricing should I expect? Also hoping that since I'd be going back to the same dealer with the max with LOW miles I can get a good trade...I would guess they would like to make another deal...

And yes other car is an SUV!
