Torn between which Z to buy tomorrow. Advice appreciated.
 

I'm going to be checking out 2 370z's tomorrow morning. Im leaning towards the white car because i prefer white cars... so i'd have to get the black car wrapped white. I don't like the idea of the wrap possibly because I've never wrapped a car in the first place:confused:? but i do like the fact that in the future wrapping parts is simpler and cheaper then getting it painted.

I also heard the 2013 got improved with an oil cooler and the ride is quieter? Not sure if its quieter due to improved deadening in the car or just tires where changed from factory. That is also another reason for leaning towards the white because of color and quieter ride.

Although the black car does have some mods that will save me money and is cheaper itself too so i don't have to spend quite allot and save money in the long run.

Any advice or input would be very helpful. Am i accurate about the oil cooler and quieter ride? if so how was the quieter ride achieved because if its what im assuming the tires being changed then i could always just get better tires anyway.

EDIT: Canadian Cars!. Both are manual transmission and touring sport.

What models? Sport? 6mt?

I wouldn't buy one without the sport package (mainly for the brakes)

Sorry forgot to mention that. Thanks! I edited the first post.

Both are manual transmission. Black is sport model. White is touring sport. I don't care for the nav/bose sound (heard bose sound make aftermaket audio installations a pain anyway) but the heated seats would've been nice

Are these USD$ prices?

Canadian Models & Price

If it has the orange interior it is also touring and has Bose but probably just not the Nav option and should have heated seats as well.

If you can get the price down a bit on the black one, pick that one. But not if you're going to wrap it.

That would really help put my mind at ease a bit, kinda like the heated seats. I just couldn't tell from the pictures since they really didn't show much of the cabin and the area where the heated seats switch is was covered by the handbrake i think :icon17:

The 27,000 (with tax included already) was the negotiated price :icon17:
It was originally priced at 29,900 and i was just like wtf? overpriced much so i showed them that they are pricing it ridiculously high based on the same cars out there for a better price and i got them to go down to 27, but im sure i can get it a tad lower when i see them.

What do you mean but not if im going to wrap it

I'm assuming the vinal wrap is going to cost a bit, so might make the final cost high vs the white one. I actually think the black/orange combo is cool.

It would yeah but would still come out cheaper then the white. I have a friend who does wraps and a very good job. the wrap based on the car size would be anywhere from 1k to max 2k.

Also, if the black ends up being the touring also like zeeder said, the only thing that the white has going for it is the quieter ride and oil cooler.

I do also like the black and orange but my end goal is white and red tbh :P

Yeah, I understand... my Z is white. :tiphat:

I just love the white car with black accents and door handles etc.. :tup:

Also anyone has anything they'd like to add, im open to all input and suggestions im all ears!

Now my last question is, the 2013 is it really quieter? if so how was it done? I'm just assuming tires but who knows!

The PW will not have any steering lock issue. The interior isn't white. More like light grey. The cooler isn't really a cooler.

I thought the Steering lock issue was just 09-10. I think i skimmed through that thread and the talk was just pull out some sort of fuse to avoid it all together or maybe i misread it.

It's '12 on.
