I'm in the market for a 09 or 10 advice?
 

Hi all,

My first post to these boards, typically I've been on the 350z forums since that's what I've owned. So here's my story, I just sold my 350z and want to pick up a 2009 or 2010 370z now. I have perfect credit and can put $10k down. My challenge is that I want to keep my payments at or below $275/mo. I was talking to a couple dealerships and they "say" they can help me out with that. So far there's a Nissan certified white 2010 sport pkg with 19K miles that I like. Here's the link to the car:

2010 Nissan 370Z, $30,972 - Cars.com

I haven't seen it in person but wanted to get opinions. I'm up north so it gets cold, so I'm not sure if I should just look for an 09 touring w/heated seats, etc (I don't want a base model w/no options). Also, do all sport packages come with the SynchroRev Match?

Any help or advice you can give would be appreciated.

I am in michigan. get the touring with heated seats or add in heated seats later. well worth it. I do not drive mine in the winter snow or on slick roads. I am not sure if this is going to be daily driver for you, but if so, consider a 10 yr old subaru for the bad days.
the sports package gives you the 19" wheels, better brakes and the SRM. I drove one Z with the SRM, and it made the car no better or worse for the decision process. Not a feature that was of any value to me, having driven a stick for 20+ years.

save
 

it ain't happenin' for $300 a month,

but you can keep saving till you can buy 1 for cash

To cfweber, I'm still negotiating with the dearlership but with my credit and downpayment of now about 11K we're currently at $299/mo. Still about $10-$20 or so over my max monthly budget though.

But in terms of your "keep saving" comment, I completely agree. I'm in no hurry, I just liked this particular one. My plan is to keep saving for the next few months and get something by summer in my range (fingers crossed).

Ok, update... As of now I'm the proud owner of a 2010 370Z (the one from the link above)!!!! I ended up getting it for $289/mo! I pick it up later this week. So excited!!! Great dealership btw!

Congratulations:)!

Thank you!
