2008 350z nismo

snaggeltooth · 03-21-2009, 06:53 PM

Anybody know much about them, had one ??.. There is a new one down at the local Nissan Dealership and would cost less than a 370Z Sport package.. Good idea ,bad idea ??? any thoughts ??

i had one. loved it! i would say handling is comprable to a 370 but the 370 is gonna be a little quicker in a straight line.

There's a red and white one here too, they are not moving. Tuff choice, i went with the 09 after shopping around last summer and herd about all the changes i waited till january of this year to make my choice. There knocking alot of money off these too. Go with the 09 and do the mods you want yourself.

A dealership near me has two, one red and one black, both marked down to about 33k or so. After test driving the 09 Z and seeing the features the 08 lacks, I could not even think of getting in the car.

Yea I know what you mean.. But I didnt get a chance to drive a 370, it was in the showroom. but the NISMO was marked at $29 and they would prob go lower ...

Wow, 29k, that is a steal; really shows how much dealer invoice on these cars really are.

I dont know about Nissan , but with a Ford if it is on lot over a year the dealer has to pay to pay a charge if he cant move it..

The NISMO 350Z is an amazing car. Better than what people give it credit for.
I drove one of my friends NISMO Z's on a race track. A good 20 laps and was was very impressed with how it can handle.
Another good friend of mine recently picked up a brand new 2008 NISMO Z. Red one for $31K. If you can find a deal like that on a NISMO Z and are in the market to buy then go for it. You will not be dissapointed.

There's a Black and White 08 Nismo 350z around here.
I think there's a lot actually.
Most of them are going for like 25,000 or under I believe.
Great car for it's price.
Most of my friends that have civic si's sold their whips for a 350z.
It's crazy how much cheaper the 350z has gotten.
A great choice for this kind of market imo.
But saving a little more won't hurt!
370z stole my heart when I layed my eyes on it.
Love at first sight.

thats kinda the way I look at it ... I would be getting a great NEW car for a used car price ,, Not to mention a car prob no one else will have ,,and if in a few yesrs I want a 370Z there will be plenty of them around ...

$25K for a new 2008 NISMO Z? I have seen used ones go for that but not new. If you found a new one for $25K I would like to see the link for it.

LOL If some new Nismo's are going for that...Man, the price on an 08 base at one of those dealers must be outright criminal.

tranceformer · 03-24-2009, 11:27 AM

I dunno about the $25k & under for a NEW '08 Nismo 350z. I've seen and been offered $23k for a '08 enthusiast, so I can't imagine $25k for the Nismo. If it's true then that's a hell of a deal!

snaggeltooth · 03-24-2009, 01:39 PM

In our local area Autorader .. I see a Roadster for $31k and a Sport Tourer for $31k .... .. those both look to be very good deals .. the Sport Tourer looks to be loaded ...

MightyBobo · 03-28-2009, 06:46 AM

Theres a red one at the dealership I got my 370 from. Holy crap, that thing has been there almost a year now - they can NOT get rid of it. IMHO, they made the exterior styling way too flamboyant on it. They've been waiting for JUST the right person to come and buy it. IE, the 19 year old kid with too much money who wants all the silly exterior mods :-p. Its nice that some have a purpose, but that park bench for a rear end is hideous, diffuser or not...
