the Z is not expensive, but it was never intended for the poor. if you have sufficient income, how about you just wait it out 2yrs, and buy your first car cash? no one said you have to lease or finance a car. and assuming you're still young do you really need a 30K+ burden? |

Get the 2014. No confirmend evidence that a brand new 2015 Z model will come out.
It's possible for a new Z in the 2016 model year. Then the smart play is to wait it out for a year to fix any initial bugs or god forbid, just a poorly engineered Z. The 2014 with it's price decrease is a proven, dependable & fun sports car. |

Get the 2014. When you're ready for the latest Z, you'll be ready after it's been out long enough to uncover and fix the steering lock/CSC/crappy tires/oil consumption problems. |

I'd buy a 14, great car all of the bugs worked out - enjoy for many years to come.
Even if a 15' is an upgrade, when they come out the prices will be absurdly high for the first model year (think of brand new corvette release) So I say get a 14' now, enjoy, if new car doesn't disappoint - trade up years later. |

Nissan continues to be under its GT-R hypnosis. As a result ,these are probably the last days of the ANALOG Z. Look at all the other manufacturers. The new Z will probably follow the trend of less weight, smaller turbocharged engine,and electronic steering. Additionally, a number of other new electronic convenience gadgets will find their way in to what is probably the last of the real driver's sports cars. The current Z34 will be the collector car of the future.
Do you want an analog Z or a digital Z? |

OP- similar position here. Love to have a Z, love the current one, but am curious about the new one. My thought is, as another poster suggested, to get an '11 or '12, which has already taken the first big deprecation hit, drive it for the year or two that it will take for the new one to come out. If I love the new one, then I'd be selling the 11 or 12 model still under warranty and before it takes its next big depreciation hit, when the warranty expires. But, if I don't like the new one enough to get it, and if I still wanted a brand new current model Z for the long haul, then I could still get a new "left over" current model before they're all gone, and at a time when they'll probably be discounted even more to make room for the new model. May not make sense for everyone but that's my strategy, for what it's worth.
Good luck with the decision. Last edited by andyj; 03-07-2014 at 09:09 PM. |

So I ended up buying the 2014 370z MT base+ sport package in pearl white. Man, I am not regretting in one bit except for my initial plan not going as planned. I was supposed to sell my truck for a fat down payment but since my truck took a **** on me, I have a higher monthly payment.
I ended up buying the Z from Fontana Nissan. I am a first time buyer so all the loans I was approved for we're around 11%-12% APR'(I don't have bad credit, just not established). So when Fontana Nissan was able to get my financing through NISSAN, I was stoked! The APR wasn't ideal, but a whole lot better than 12% (refinancing in 6 months). I'm loving the Z and everything about it. I know I made the right choice. Thanks a lot to all fellow Z owners for input. I'll try to get some pics up as soon as I have a chance! |
