Are people holding onto their Zs?
 

does it seem like people are holding on to their Z's longer than normal.
it seems like every used car lot or even new dealerships have known for
sell. while you can find 1 and 2 year old chargers,camaro and mustangs everywhere for sale used. any opinions on this . not trying to stir the pot
just interested if the other owners grew tired of their cars.

I see many 350's but never a 370 in used lots. I also see a '71 next to my garage.

Carmax has a few...

There aren't that many 370s around so you'll see fewer on used lots than other makes. I've only seen a handful over the past year sitting on used car lots.

i agree, ive seen in the 2 dealerships ive been to recently with my brother looking for a new car for him, saw six 350z's but no 370s.. BUT the sales person did ask me " so uh... you wanna trade that in? we'll gladly take it!!!" looking at my 370
i looked at him with a disgusted look on my face like "really? you just asked me that?"

Lucky to find minet
 

I found 2 370Z's at a local dealer (Rochester, NY) in the month of December, 2011. One was a Base white Z with MT, and the other was a Base red Z with AT and Sports Package. I bought the red Z of course. I figured that if I waited to look for a Z in the spring, I might not find the same car, because of more competition and all ... so I bought my Z. Both drove nicely. I wonder whether the white Z is still in the lot. Probably not, although my Z was at the dealer for about 6 months according to the car facts; the car was waiting for me. :D

I agree with with all comments thus far. There are literally next to no used 370s available. It is a curious conundrum, isn't it? :)

Well, I can tell you that finding mine was a serious PIA. None of the dealers down here had a black roadster. Specifically, one with ALL the options I wanted. I did find a red one on a showroom floor but that was it. Eventually, I ended up buying one from Virginia! All the Nissan dealership told me that I could order one but it could take up 4-6 months to get it! Forget that! There are a few roadsters on....ahem, (sorry m4a1mustang) EBAY...not that i would buy it from there or anything, but to be frank, the sellers weren't really reputable. I think if you buy a car of this caliber, you're better off waiting for it instead of settling on a color or model you aren't happy with. I did that when I bought my G37. I liked the black one but they didn't have it so I settled on a white one. Everyone thought it was my wife's car!!! I traded that one in REAL quick! The bottom line...

I won't be trading this one in for a LONG time. My 280zx was the only car I kept from the time I got married to the time that it...sniff...passed away. I plan on doing the same thing with my 370z. Sorry for the rant guys, just really passionate about this car!

The no used consensus rings true in FL as well. I was looking around for a bit on used ones, but the few they had were extremely high mileage 1-2 year old ones, and not in the packages I wanted. Might I also add that the used car people wanted almost the same price as a new 2012 one, save 2 or so grand. Granted, this car is by no means a high volume car.

Demand is kind of low, especially for an increasingly conpetative segment, so dealers tend to have a low inventory to begin with. I personally plan to hold on to the Z for a while and a part of me is kind of glad very few are around. Even back in 09 though, finding the one I wanted was a chore. In the end, I compromised and got a touring without the sports package and got the color I wanted.

I do like how 370z are pretty rare, only seen 3-4 in my area all year. One nismo, omg i was so jealous when i saw him. lol

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

veryyyyyyyy True

How'd that happen? Haha

There are two used ones sitting at the Nissan lot in my town and they have been there for over 2 months now. :icon17:
