The sti's have nice interior but they cant keep up with evo. I test drove both and both dealerships let me take hard turns and the evo felt better. Sti's are a better dd but not better on the track

my z trapped 104.2 stock.....

Maybe. Dealers haven't been interested either. My offers have sucked.

What was your ET?

And somantic iiunno what you think is good but in 8 months i lost 20k value on my z and it only had 16,000kms on it. I got just over 20,000 for it. I got 24,000 for my 05 srt-10 ram and that had 95,000kms on it. I paid 40k for my evo. But i could get 37k for it if i traded it in.

no offense but maybe you didnt fight hard enough for your trade. ive been in the car business for 4 years, a personal friend owns 6 dealerships in DFW (3 of them nissan dealerships) and right now these things are beasts (here at least). at a nissan dealer only auction a 2010 base auto sold for $32k with 20000 miles

but again thats in texas

Yeah, the 370Z market is strong. I traded my 2009 NISMO 370Z for $31k while buying another car for $250 under invoice. I originally purchased the NISMO new for ~$36k (leftover 2009) and it had <8,000 miles at the time of trade. People who say you lose 40% of the value of your car as soon as you drive off the lot either trash their cars or don't know how to negotiate.

i'll give you that, the dealership that i traded in screwed me (didnt realise it at the time) Thats where i got my SRT-10 Ram.. Right before i sold the truck to get my Evo i was thinking about getting another SRT-10 Ram...a RC instead of the QC. The dealership (same one i got the truck from) would only give me $22,000 for it and wouldnt budge. My gf wanted to go check out a Chevy Cruze (no way in hell i was buying one but i went with her) They offerd me $23,000k. I looked at a STi, that dealership offerd me $26,000...i ended up getting the Evo and traded the truck in for $24,000.

So the dealership that i traded in my 370z for would only give me $22,000 and wouldnt budge on the trade in or the price of the truck i was looking at...but i got offerd as high as 26,000 for the truck. So yea i then realised i got screwed on the trade in for the 370z. But even so, the Evo still has a better trade in/resale value over the Z.

It's not that far from here. Worth it if the prices you claim are even close to correct.
