help...what to do ?

zcoupe09 · 04-03-2009, 10:05 AM

just purchased a 2009 370z touring 6 speed black with gray interior....this was a toss up with a pearl white but the white was a base model...now that i own the black one im thinkin i would rather have the white...what to do? im sure my car has depreciated already...it has 250 miles on it? is it worth trying to go back for a white one?

The car has already been titled, they cannot sell it as new. What's done is done. You must of chose that combo for some reason. I think its nice.

The car market is really hurting right now, while it might be a great time to buy if you have no trade in, you better be prepared to grab your ankles if you want to trade.

Probably lost 10k the second you drove it off the lot, because guess what; cars are being sold at invoice and if you trade yours they still want to make some coin. What did they hold your hostage and force you to buy? Don't be so fickle.

and no don't get it painted, because your color wont match the Vin, and you will loose a hell of a lot when you trade it, not only that you'll be paying 10k for a PROPER paint job.

sell it to me!!!

There is really nothing you can do other than to use it as a trade in.

While the white is damn fine, black is just sectsay.

theDreamer · 04-03-2009, 11:44 AM

You either take the hit or enjoy the black model. I could see this argument if you had an AT or MT and want the other, but color choice I think you could slowly come to love the black, maybe?

get it painted white?

arcticreaver · 04-03-2009, 02:49 PM

i think the color will grow on you. besides, you can always get it painted if you want.

AK370Z · 04-03-2009, 02:56 PM

I def recommend you NOT to trade it in unless you're okay with losing few grands. Once the car is titled, it's a used car. Only thing I can think of is that if you wanna list it on ebay or autotrader and explain your color situation in sale ad. You're still going to lose money but not as much as going to dealer.

Does black Z look really that bad?

Can you please elaborate on why you now dislike the black? Is it the color, or the care of a black vehicle? Rims do not look correct against the black?

Christ! Be happy you have a 2009 370Z!

NeedforZ · 04-03-2009, 03:14 PM

Amen to that! Learn to be happy with what you got. 99% of the people out there will never have one or anything close to it. The new Z is an awesome car no matter what color. I would've bought a black one but plat graph was the only color they had with the options I wanted. I'm perfectly happy with it.

A few yoga and pilates lessons will get you ready for the next move.

Seriously, get a good quality wax some micro fiber towels and was the black one. You'll like what you have.

i went from white to black. Let me tell you black is WAY WAY better in my opinion since i have owned a white 350z for 2.5 years this is a improvement.

I would polish my white 350z up with zaino all the time, it shined an all but it never felt like it was good as it could be. Now i am doing it with a black car and HOT DAM it was the best choice for some one who likes to clean/polish.

I promise you, if you keep it you will love it, your just in the weird buyers remorse stage that you will pop out of soon.

I understand how you guys can debate about the color. There's a variety of colors for this car and we can all agree that they all look pretty great on it. Nissan did an amazing job at picking its colors.

That being said... This thread might be a small indication of why other countries might want to blow us up. Just a thought. Think about it.
