Default What type of 370z should I buy?

Hi everyone, I am interested in leasing/buying a 370z. I am curious to see what model/add ons you guys would suggest I get?

I do also have the option to buy a 2007 350z Nismo with 16k miles and nav for $27k

*Edit* So test drove the 370z Base Coupe and I have concluded that I would want to buy the base model and possible (sport package) and then add mods after.

Thanks,
-Josh

Welcome to the forum!

I'd pass on that Nismo. $27k and 16k mi on a 2007 350Z of any trim level just doesn't sound good to me at all.

Why not browse the forum and glean information for yourself? There are tons of threads about mods for different aspects of the car. Your question is too broad to tackle head-on considering you haven't disclosed what options YOU want and what your budget is.

Perhaps start with deciding between Base, Base+Sport, Touring, Touring + Sport, and Nismo.

Depends on you goals. You need to figure out if you plan to lease or buy? Would you want to mod it any? Do you want leather? List goes on.

Leaseing it is gonna be alot more money no??? They dont normally have good lease rates on cars like these. As for your choices it kind of depends on your wants and money. You want a base 6spd at like 30K or a loaded auto roadster at 45+ Give us some more info

The only option I recommend is sport package on the base Z. everything else just do aftermarket.

Some times you can get a cheaper rate for leasing.
I think I would want the sport package. And everything else would be after market.

Have some more information about how you'll be driving, whether you'll be modding, what your goals are with the car?

370z Base w/ Sport Package should be a nice start.

I would not mod a leased car... but that's just me.

Zs are not good to lease, resale isn't high enough

16k-miles, thats unreal! I looked in KBB, it automatically put the mileage at 50k. I reduced the mileage to 16k, and the sale price was 29k! I'd pass up the Nismo!

^ I agree. KBB seems to favor the dealers.

When you trade in the car, they use the black book. When they want to sell you something at a high rate, they refer to the bluebook. Scumbags

why bother getting 350z nismo when you can practically get used 370z with about the same mileage for around 27k? And dont lease a car. Its not yours. Make it yours!! base 370z will beat the nismo 350 in every aspect.
