Time to sell?

MZ DAIZY

Yea, this is pretty much where I’m at. I won’t mind a $7,000 note for the new Z fits going to be $42,000 ish. The only way I’d sell is if the new Z is really going to be $40,000 as the rumors state.

To add to my story, my wife and myself both work at the same Golf Course which is 15 minutes from home. We can always drive in together and one of us could take the car home and come back on the days we’re not working the same hours, or I’m considering getting a beater bike to ride back and forth while I wait.

I'd go ahead and sell your Z if you can get near 36k for it. Worse case scenario, the new Z drops for 50k (probably won't), so you take that $$$ and just buy a newer 370z. I like the new Z!

Another thing to think about is that the BASE z will maybe start around $40k. Not sure what you have now but if you’re selling for $36k I’d think it’s a sport touring package. I imagine the new fully loaded Z will go for over $50k, with a dealer markup close to $60k at least.

Yes, sport touring. Again, from what the rumors are, the “base” looks like it’s going to be the old sport touring model. The “performance” looks to be the NISMO.

It’s all a guessing game right now until I think Nissan has stated that all specs and pricing are coming out this month.

As far as dealer mark up, I’m sure they’ll try, but it didn’t work for the Supra, and I doubt it will work for the Z.

So far it's Sport, Performance, and a proto spec edition. NISMO is usually released later.

What do you mean the mark-up didn't work for the Supra?

MZ DAIZY

There were a few fools that payed the $20,000 - $100,000 markup to be the first in line. I don’t need a new car that bad....

Great point. I forgot to mention this, but I made a post about this in the 400z thread. Nissan is slightly misleading/ falsely advertising the new Z. As far as I know there are two trims CURRENTLY. Sport and Performance. There are differences with brakes, suspension, interior options, wheels, LSD, etc.

Having only 1 car for the household let alone a 2 seater sports car, is a bad idea imo. There will most definitely be times where you're going to be kicking yourself for not having 2 cars.

Plus I would hate to DD my sports car. They are meant for weekends, nights, pleasure cruising and the track. Maybe take it into work on a Friday, but that's it. The idea of me putting DD amount of miles on a car meant for pleasure makes me cringe personally. Buy a beater for the daily duties.

As new as it may be, sports cars still need to go in the shop from time to time and then you're SOL until you get it back if you have only 1 car.

Just my

I guess when you put it into perspective either way it's a win. You could always sell now and just sit on that cash. Wait it out a bit and go and grab new Z in the next few months. I most certainly believe the new Z will be a superb platform to continue tuning and outright enjoying. I would be just so tempted to take that 36 and toss it on a C7. It's pretty much up to you and hope I'm in your predicament soon lol.

I put way too much time and effort into my Z lol. Though if someone offered me 30K for that thing, i'd take the cash.

A C7 Grandsport is something i would be tempted to look at. I'd JDM it (advans, clean aero kit, maybe a voltex wing if i end up tracking it). It seems like the best balance between performance and control.

Agreed lol. Porsche Cayman. R35. C7. C6 Z06. New Supra. Ftype jaguar. Just so many choices that I would consider. I would make the new Z my main choice but possibly not my only. If I was offered 30k I'd probably sell in an instant.

C7 Grandsports are costing as much used right now as they did new. It is crazy.

babyzilla

This is pretty much every car. Just helped my in-laws buy a CX-5. (not by choice, they actually needed the car). I kid you not, the used ones were MORE expensive than a decently trimmed new one............what world are we living in. We purchased new obviously and saved a couple grand over the used while getting the better interest rate. All I could do was talk down the 1200 mark-up. Paid msrp.
