Price? Base + Sport Pkg + Extras

DJ-of-E

I'm actually looking for base + sport package with the following options

-Painted Splash Guards
-Carpeted Floor and Trunk Mat
-Illuminated Kick Plates

I live in Orange County, but so far the best price I see is $32,000 + TTL (9.25% sales tax). I just want to make sure if I could do better.

btw, I currently drive a 2000 Toyota Celica GT-S. Car handles like a go-kart. How does the 370z fairs in handling in your opinion?

hey DJ, cant really answer your question, but just wanted to point out unless you live in La Habra the rest of the cities in the OC have a sales tax of 8.75%. Also glad to see another future 370Z owner in my neck of the woods, gonna be ordering mine here next month from Fontana Nissan you cruise up and down Beach Blvd. very often cause i see alot of Celica GT-S like almost everyday lol.

That's kinda high...For a Base+Sport with those options I would go $30,000-$30,500 + TTL.

Good luck with the car search!

If it's a white stock celica, that's probably mine. I drive up and down at beach for work as well. =p. What package are you getting?

It looks like no dealer has access to Montery blue with my optons. However' I can go for gunmetal grey. Just no grey silver black and white. Too many of those in 350z around my neck of the woods. Anyone know when production kicks in again?

lol, yeah i have seen your car before then...as for what i have right now you may have seen me also, i drive a slightly modified chevy cobalt sedan with an incomplete body kit on it as of this moment (just missing the sideskirts). As for the color and options you want on your Z i had the guys at Fontana Nissan tell me that there would be no Monterey Blue coming in within the next 3 months so therefore that why i mentioned i had to order cause im looking for almost the exact same thing as you minus the splash guards and kick plates. I have seen one Monterey Blue 370Z driving around last week with the sports package, so who knows maybe whoever is driving that one would be willing to sell it to you lol.

DJ-of-E

Aww...I know which Cobalt you're talking about. I like those Chevy Cobalts, ever since they switch to turbo, they're pretty damn nice on Auto-X once you setup the suspension (stock is nice, just too much roll and dampener travel).

Z_ealot

Yeah they can be pretty quick cars when setup right, i know a member over on their forums is pushing around 300-350whp on a stock turbo setup with upgraded GM stage 2 parts for their turbo. Getting back on topic though, have you tried looking over at Connell Nissan? i know i did a search just recently and they do have a few 2009 370Z with sport package that were going for about $29k which im sure you could work them down on.

DJ-of-E

I just checked, it's nothing but a wall of automatics.

Z_ealot

hmm, is there a specific color you want, cause i just checked around cars.com and there are a few sport package manuals scattered around about a 40 mile radius of Garden grove, in fact i just spotted a 2009 sport package in red that is being sold out of alhambra if that is of any interest to you.

DJ-of-E

I want to make sure it's from a Nissan dealer. This is my first new car purchase after long rows of used cars. Never really did a warranty on a car before, haha.

Z_ealot

any particular reason you want it to be from a nissan dealer?

DJ-of-E

So I could at least take it to a Nissan dealer to repair the car if there's warranty defects. My friend has a 350z w/ extended warranty. I thought he's just waiting $2500 until last January with that stupid rain. Flooded his neighborhood and had to replace the entire electrical harness. He didn't even paid a dim, car smells like mold now, though. =/

I've been driving Nissans since 2001, which includes '82 Nissan 280zx turbo, '91 Nissan 240SX, '93 Nissan Maxima (parent's car) and '98 Nissan 200sx (cheap emergency DD).

One thing I dread in all Nissans is either an electrical or a sensor related issue. Been dealing long enough that those electricals don't last too well over 10 years, but man does it feel sexy to drive a 370z. Reminds me very much like my RIP 280zx.

Z_ealot

as far as i know most of the 370Z i've seen listed still have the factory warranty on them, plus if i remember right you can purchase an extended warranty through nissan themselves if you wanted to. Can't really say i know about the electrical and sensor issues though as i never had a problem with the electrical on my 05 altima 3.5SE although unfortunately i had to get rid of it for other reasons, but my first car was also a 2002 altima 2.5 and i've been a nissan guy ever since.

DJ-of-E

Anyone know where I could 3m scotchguard the front bumper in southern california?

Z_ealot

so does that mean you went ahead and picked one up? lol....as far as 3m, someone on here should know a few places.
