Are people holding onto their Zs?

It is probably due to the fact the the amount of 370z sold is far less than the 350/mustang/camaro/etc...

I looked for my car used for nearly 6 months and finally bought new.

I have had hell finding a car like yours. They don't exist anywhere in the US.

A couple used 370Zs at my local dealer. Been sitting a while. I'm thinking about trading mine in for a 6MT or Mustang. Yeah, bored with life lol

Trade it for a mustang if you're bored, unless the automatic is your only complaint. Otherwise, you will get bored with the 6M pretty fast. The mustang is an entirely different car, and will keep you entertained longer than what amounts to a transmission swap.

New Z is well known for low in sales figure, so how will it has a lot for sale as used????

Last month when I was looking to buy a car. One local dealer had a white '12 sport. He wasn't moving down on price when I ask him. The dealer where I bought my used '11 Nismo, also had a '12 roadster, and a '12 sport. I asked about ordering a new '12 Nismo. The salesman said they can't order until Mar. and that the Nismo wouldn't be in until June if I was lucky. so I asked him about the used '11 Nismo they had. Said they just got it in on a trade. Asking $37,000 for it. I said $35,000, no trade, cash. They jumped on it. So now I have an '11 Nismo with 7,000 miles on it. Looking around in my area. I have only found 1 roadster, 3 sport/tours, and 3 sports. All '12's. No Nismo's and no used ones. Feel I was lucky to get mine.

Are any of those Sport/Tour '12's equipped with NAV and a manual? Let me know...

i think it depends where you are. up north, if they get traded in or unsold in fall, they probably will sit there until spring, since people don't usually by sports cars in the middle of winter

The Dimer · 01-04-2012, 08:23 AM

I lucked out with mine. I wanted a used touring w/ sport and nav, looked online and found one within 200 miles of me. Luckily it was at Autobarn Nissan about 35 minutes away. Really wanted a silver one, but the pearl white still looks fantastic.

Jeffblue · 01-04-2012, 08:33 AM

my 2010 was fully loaded 6spd black/persimmon and has been sitting on a dealer lot in NJ since october 1st. i think region has a lot to do with it. that would have been snatched up fast if it was in the south.
