How much do you plan on paying for your 370Z?
 

Well the current Z base price is somewhere around 28,500 and it's a great deal for the amount of amenities and features that it comes with. Nissan has recently announced that they will increase the Price of the GTR by $7000 making the base price of the GTR $76840. Rising gas prices and increased production cost, how much are you willing to pay for the NIssan 370z?

as per http://www.the370z.com/nissan-370z-pricing-ordering-discussions/43-370z-focus-group-08-21-08-west-los-angeles-california.html thread, looks like it's going to start at 29,200. Now that's a kick a$$ starting price.

One thing I can say without hesitation, I WILL NOT BE PAYING ANY "MARKET ADJUSTMENT" PRICES for the 370Z. I hope all you dealers are listening.

When the 350Z came out, there hadn't been a Z in almost a decade, so there was pent up demand for the dealers to exploit.

This time around, the dealers don't have that crutch to use against us. Given Renault/Nissan's need for cash, I doubt 370Z production will be artificially tightened just for the sake of increasing demand. I could be wrong, but I rarely am. ;-)

The manufacturer has calculated a fair profit into MSRP. I'm not opposed to a fair profit for the dealer. But "market adjustment" prices are an insult to my intelligence and I will not pay them.

Absolutely! Paying market adjustment or "special' mark up by the dealers will have a big affect on 370Z buyers. I have seen marked adjustment of up to 20K dollars on GTRs and to me that's a lot.

I should also mention that with our current economy, slow auto sales and Nissan's low sales chart (-30% i believe), I don't think they'll do anything crazy with the 370Z.

I think during the first two year it'll be a little hard to haggle with the dealers since it's new and everyone wants one. But once it's a year or two old, then price will come down and people will be able to own it below invoice prices.

People are saying it'll start somewhere around 29,500 for the base model and go up as you go up on trims. I am nervously waiting for the price release from Nissan. I should also mention that GM just announced that the new V6 camaro with 300 HP is going to start @ 23, xxx MSRP. Nissan should look into that as well.

Recent info revealed that it's going to be priced around 29,500 but we are not sure yet. Nissan has announced that they'll release the specifications of the 370Z on November 11th. I'm not 100% if they'll also release pricing info on the same day. I guess we have to wait till the LA auto show.

There's always a dealer markup with a hyped car.

What I'm willing to pay will be dependent on the models available. I currently drive a 350Z Track Model & would like the 370Z equivalent (or better).

That's always true . I hate that :mad: but it's unavoidable i guess.

Here are some info on the new 370z.

I can't wait for my test drive.

Time to start wheel shopping.

haha .. I assume you didn't like those wheels, huh :rofl2:

It's not so much the look as much as the crap offset.

But yeah, I've got a bit of a wheel addiction.

What rims do you have on your current Z?

18x10 +18 (15mm spacer rear, 2mm spacer front) Work Emotion XD9.

I'll probably buy a different set of wheels before I sell the car.

Let's see... I want the Touring model with nav and the sport package. At most, I'll pay $35K, depending on trade-in.

I want it in black

Hmm. Sport package. Hard to decide between base and toruing. I'll have to see if the navi adds an extra functionality. I generally like relatively no-frills sports cars. I added nav to the 1er for the functionality of TRUE iPod integration, and because I did euro delivery. It's useful, but it will depend on pricing, and what entertainment features are available without.

Sports Package seems to be the only mandatory...

...I'll get whatever up to $32-$35k has to offer.

By looking at this image, this is the price i'm coming up with

http://www.the370z.com/members/ak370...icing-info.jpg

Base Model : $31600-31800 USD

Sports Model: $34,844 USD

Loaded Sports Touring model: $38,757 USD

The problem is we don't know how old those documents are.

I would be too concerned about asking price , new car sales world wide are slow , especially specialized sports cars like the 370 Z with the economic crisis getting worse by the week there will be plenty of great deals to be had .

Car Manufacturers / Dealers will be bending over big time to make sales :rofl2::bowrofl:

Cash is king :tiphat:

Cheers

I wonder if the after market guys are making ne parts for this car yet... like a greddy twin turbo kit... or a Tic dual exhaust lol~ as soon as this comes out imma slap on a twin turbo kit if greddy makes one

Just give me a Borla exhaust and a cold-air intake, and I'll be fine. :driving:

Very true. I just saw that BMW group sales was down 63%! :eek: Right now this is def buyers market. I think someone showed me a link the other day where they were selling a brand new base 350Z for only 24K. BUT, things are suppose to be changing soon. We may see a gradual change to a better economy.

I hope it'll be buyer market when I get my Z.

They are not making the body parts or exhaust parts yet but for the engine, I can say "yes". This 3.7L VQ has been used in the G37 and I believe FORGED Motorsports already made a Twin Turbo for this engine. It's true the engine in the Z will be a little tweaked up than the G37 but they at least have something to work with. Here are the pics

Borla??? S-tune or Nismo FTW :icon17:

I'm liking the idea of a twin screw charger.

I wouldn't pay over $35k (configured) for it. If its anywhere near $35k I might as well add a couple thousand and get a g37.

G37 a little on the heavier side. Nissan Corp always made the Z lighter and more agile that the G37. If you need back seat, G37 is def THE car to get but other than that, Z will always out run the G.

I think you can def get a Z below 35K. It IS a buyer market right now.

when the car comes out n' if no one makes a twin turbo kit for this car... you think you can put in the g37 twin turbo kit on this 370z? cuz itz the same engine?? rite??

$33k tops before T+L.

I want to get the 6MT Sports Trim + Touring Trim.
But is that the best trim?
And hopefully I'll be paying under 38,000

I wonder about that myself. It seems that Nissan went to great lengths to reduce weight (good) and increase power (also good) and return the focus of the Z to its 240z predecessor. That is exactly what I want. I'm lucky enough to be at a point in my life where my next car will be a 'third' car, a car that I will only drive when I want to, not when I have to. I can't wait. The thing about the Touring Trim will be whether or not the accessories in the package add a significant amount of weight and chip away at what Nissan has supposedly set out for us. I think the Sport Trim makes good sense for the brakes and wheels and I would probably be interested in that. So it's 6MT for me, with Sports Trim and try to get out the door around 35K max. At that price, you have a M Coupe fighter for around 18-20K less. 'Nuff said. ;)

-S.

MSRP for about 3 months then let the bidding begin.

Invoice plus 1000.00:roflpuke2:

Will the touring trim add that much of a weight difference...?
I didn't think that it would make a weight difference by much.

Befor you buy your G37, explore other options:
http://www.the370z.com/other-vehicle...tning-lap.html

around $35k

i dunno guys. you really think they will be marked up? yeah i know there is always a dealer that will do it but im guessing for the most part i would hope you wont have to pay mark ups. i mean its mass produced and is perceived as an evolution of an existing model by most.

Crown,
I don't think the weight difference will be that much either, after reading the spec sheet, but every little bit adds up, know what I mean? I'm in this specifically for power/weight and smiles/mile, so I don't need satnav or anything else that's not core to the 370z. 50lbs (approx what the weight difference between the Base and Touring is) isn't much, but it's 50lbs I don't need.

On another note, I wouldn't be too terribly surprised if the Z is marked up at least at the beginning. I saw the STI and Lan-Evo marked up in my hometown, the dealers called it something like a "Geographical Market Adjustment"... that's as BS as it comes. The mark-ups won't last long, but they'll be there at the beginning. Just wait it out.

S.

I would say $35K is going to be the average for the 370Z

I think I may be willing to raise my threshold to $35k based off of the content and features in this car.

I'm praying for Sports + Touring Trim = Under 38,000

Great post. :tup: M coupe wouldn't even know what hit her!:icon17:

:tup: I don't know if there will be mark up since it's just a production car. Nothing special about it. But we'll see.

Good guess. By the time you put your simple essential options in, it'll be close to that I think.

:tiphat: Better start saving.

Hmm, I really want the touring, considering it has a much better stereo system, and a direct iPod interface (control ipod through the stock headunit), as well as the hands-free bluetooth, for when you need to answer phone calls while racing at the track lol.... Sport package might be nice too, but it will probably jack the price up about 3-4k. I guess I can live without most of that stuff and then add parts that I need separately later down the road (spoilers, wheels etc).
