Yep, Thinkin' 'Bout Tradin' In On A 2013 Midnight Blue

sparky · 07-01-2012, 05:10 PM

I went 7AT for the same reasons, stop and go traffic and bad knee.
Hell even the Aventador only comes in auto and eventually all Lamborghinis will be auto only.
I like it and drive with manual mode almost all the time.

I would not do a trade in. Just sell your car on the open market and then buy the midnight blue. You are almost assured to end up ahead that way compared to a trade in. It all depends on what they are willing to offer you on the trade. Also keep in mind that dealers play games with trades. They may offer you a higher trade in but then not cut you as good a deal on the purchase price point as they might have otherwise.

Also never talk payments only price point, and secure you own finacing unless they have a promotional 0% or something really low like that.

The Midnight Blue will look sweet though.

Oh great..... Now I'm kinda diggin' Gun Metallic since I think it would go better with the red brake calipers, especially after I tint the windows. #### !

What truly bothers me about the 2013 are those LED lights. They look incredibly forced. They don't look fluid with the car like german makes do.

My guess is, Nissan doesn't want to look German. GTR led's are on the corners of the front bumper as well.

Yeah, but it was integrated well on the GT-R. On the Z, it just looks like they took a shortcut to add a feature in the most cost effective way possible and it didn't work.

sounds like you can afford it and won't so go for it. you will not be sorry you switched to the 7at. it will not take a back seat to any auto out there. within it's price range. don't mean to jack the thread but on one of the videos they said nissan made some adjustments to the suspension on the sports package.
anyone know what it's about.

They are readjusting spring rates and adding so called "euro-shocks". Whatever that means? But the Z is supposed to have slightly improved handling while having a more compliant ride. I find this interesting. But the current suspension feels pretty good to me thus far.

Understand what you're saying Unknown, on the 2012 led's were an option on the sport pkg that went on the top of the front grill (horizontally) to the side of the license plate.

On the GTR, if it didn't have those little grooves, Nissan would have still put them there anyway.

Sorry to take OP's thread off course, but by all means, get the new Midnight Blue Z with the 7AT and enjoy!
