370z's depreciation in a year? I WANT ONE!!

Owners will always deny that their vehicles depreciate as much as what KBB claims. Its a bit aggressive, but I wouldn't be suprised if KBB was +/-2k off. I hope

I've also kept my eye on 350Zs, you can get a low mileage 06-08 touring/enthusiast for 18-22k...well that's what carmax says...so maybe?????

thanks for the info guys. I was probably wrong by putting the depreciation values on my original post. The cost of the car based solely on depreciation was not my original intent.

All i really wanted to know is if you see the 370z prices matching(or close to matching) the used 350z prices? I know there are certain variables that come into play such as model level, ect.

Hopefully in maybe a year, i was wanting to purchase a 2010 or 2009 370z base+sport with low mileage for around 28k drive out?

IMO, I think you can do better than that. In fact some of the guys here bought their new 2010 370Z base 6MT for 29k. You should try to sell your mazda now, unless you can save more/faster than the rate of depreciation of your mazda. Use that as down payment, finance the rest at low 3.5% (rates may increase the next year or two).

I was going to try to save at least 1k per month over the next few months. Plus I have to make sure my new job position will hold at the salary rate that i want. Worst thing would be to buy the car and then have no job. I have perfect credit so financing right now is 3.99apr, hopefully by xmas, it will stay the same or close to.

so, to get a 2009 or 2010? aren't there a few differences?
