I'm wondering about the depreciation of the 370z over the next year. I looked at edmunds.com and they had a 8+k depreciation hit the first year. I have been in love with this car since i first laid eyes on it! its damn sexy!
Anyways, I noticed some used 350z's selling for the 26k-28k range, and was hoping i could jump on a 370z sport(at least) sometime soon for that price. I currently own a 2005 mazda 6 Grand touring(fully loaded) worth about 9-11k, just paid off today. So jumping into another car payment right now is really hard to swallow. My plan is to save more than the previous car note each month for a while to save up for more of a down payment and emergency fund, ect... I guess my questions is, do you guys predict the 370z's cost to follow suit with the 350z? Thanks! |

but as it pertains to the OP and his question i would say yes the 370z is depreciating as any car would, the longer you wait to buy one, the cheaper it will get but as sports cars go it should hold its value relatively well. eh, its his call obviously, and private party value is always gonna be higher than if he were to trade it in, so that actually may be the better financial decision. but he might not want to deal with the hassle of selling privately. and that cars still got some value so whatever the dealer gives him for it will go directly into the 370 that hes trading for.

I would say the Z is a good investment and a vehicle which is always wanted by many, whether new or used. This always puts you in a good position if you are wanting to sell or trade it in the future (nobody wants a car that did not sell well, or is not desired by others). I own a 370 and rarely see one or pass one on the road...I would say that puts me in a very good position if I have to let it go....so when riding down the road, take the time to see how many you can spot....they have been out over a year.

I didn'y buy my Z for resale anyway. I always thought the 350z was so sexy but i was wrapped up in DSM's at the time and couldn't see myself gettign a RWD sports car in Alaska. Now that I own a 370, I can't see owning a AWD sports car again. I'm loving this car even though I only drive it 5 months out of the year. Last edited by LaSeeno; 01-28-2010 at 12:13 PM. |

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? |
