which one should I go for 350z nismo or 370z ?
I'm looking for a new car. Now, I 'm driving Rx8 , and I want to try Z power, So I take a look at few cars. I'm going to buy a used one because I just stay in the US just for studying, so I think about the value of it in next 3 years. I found one 08' 350z Nismo it's cost me around 27k.on the other hand with 27k, i might be able to get a 09/10 370z ( indeed I prefer 40th Anniversary version or Nismo version, but I dont think I can get that under 30k ). I love the body kit of 350z, but I hate its interior.However, I love interior of 370z. If I buy 370z one I may just put Evo-R wing on it to make it look more sporty (in fact, I love the Amuse bodykit, but my dad will fly over to kill me if I get that ). Which one should I get? personally I think 370z would be the best answer because of the years and It may be easier to sell in 2015. BUT, I can't stop looking at the tail of 350z nismo ><

You might be able to get a used 370z for under 30k but you will have to look hard.
I always liked the Nismo 350z, almost got one, but the upgrades of the 370z are just worth it. Keyless entry, push to start, better interior, etc. Also, if you get a 370z there might be more of a warranty on it just in case a problem occurs.

Well if you are just going for looks then its really a personal choice and any opinion offered is strictly based on personal taste.
But if you are comparing the two in actual performance, the 370z base excels the 350z nismo in every performance category stock for stock. |

$27K for an 08 350z Nismo?! That's a rip off!! I can get an 09 370z Nismo for that price. Well, you got to search hard tho but it's def possible! If you like the 350z nismo, then the 370z nismo is much more refined inside out. Get the 370z Nismo!

well then I should start do hard research for 370z Nismo one. I have look up on carmax and some internet dealership ( Im in TX but now in Thailand ) . they quote 370z nismo more than 30k then when I get back in next few weeks I should drive around to look up at local dealers. Ty for letting me know that there's few 370z nismo under 30k !!!!

WELCOME TO TEXAS... where used car prices are rapetastically high. The Z is a hot item in teas and sells in this state more than any other. So it commands a higher resale. Especially 370's since even though we sell more here, there's still not a whole lot going around for used car purchase. |

Ill probably get flamed here, but I like the body lines of the 350 better than the 370. However, the 370 is an upgrade in all aspects of the 350z. Better in every category imo (except for the throttle response). Also since your asking for opinions lol, I think the 350z Nismo isnt very good looking. The body kit is too gaudy for my tastes. The 370z Nismo is a little better but I prefer the non-Nismo styling.

370z - I've had both and the 370z just feels better. Plus a newer car = less chances of any issues... you're here studying, can't be spending too much money worrying about your car.
