Why do you want a 2008 Nismo when you could get a 2009 370z for that price?

I like the 350z more than 370z even though 370z has more power and faster.

350Z Nismo looks aggressive and hot.

[sluggoZ]

How much did you pay for the Altima?

The Basic 370Z is $31K. BTW, I don't like the Nismo, overpriced with the same power as a regular Z.

overpriced with the same power as a regular Z.

not as much as youd think when your settling for staggered rays forged aluminum wheels, brembo brakes with 12 inch rotors, dual autech chassis dampers to improve cornering stability, additional strut bar, nismo s-tune coilovers, nismo muffler, FULLY SEAM-WELDED CHASSIS, authenticity badge, two tone seats, and best of all exclusivity..and i guess you could mention the body kit which so fully aerodynamic. although the rear looks a but ridiculous for a street car, taht would be the only thing i would change if i could, but then again it doesnt bother me as much as some people.

+ dual nismo air intake

I test drove a black nismo, but end up picking red because I have had 2 black cars in a row; scion tc and now altima. So I'm kind of tired of maintaining black cars -I love the black nismo, but I need a change....

[R350Zz33]

i love the nismo's *** and red kinda screams to the cops look at meeeeeeee!!!!!!

[kuhan]

i love the nismo's *** and red kinda screams to the cops look at meeeeeeee!!!!!!

that is so true and plus the insurance will love red cars!!!

[R350Zz33]

yea if i wanna speed on a road i know has alot of cops i get behind a bright colored car thats going fast.

[spitalul2bad]

At that price you could get the 370, and not worry about DEPRECIATION... your Nismo may be a Nismo, but it'll still go down like a brick when the new one comes along... The 370 has a good couple of years ahead of it.

Tell the dealer that.

If he doesn't go under $30.000, don't buy it, get a 370Z. If the dealer gives you a new final selling price of under $30.000, get the Nismo. Win-win.

[bmike818]

I voted no and I agree with spitalul2bad.

I love my Z33, but the interior of the Z34 is noice. My favorites that I wished my car had and the Nismo doesn't have is the perforated oval steering wheel, and the gear indicator on the tach.

[R350Zz33]

i have a gear indicator on my tach lol

[kuhan]

thanks everyone for your opinions and suggestions.

I have decided not to buy this nismo, but probably will trade in for a 2008 Enthusiast Model

2008 350Z EnthusiastUsed4,800 Miles

Price: $21,998 Will try to negotiate for $20,000

*I will have more money to mod this car the way I want it.



What do you thinks?

[sluggoZ]

Just to let you guys know that the Nismo car with the Nismo 3pc. exhaust is not the same quality as their after-market s-tune 3pc. exhaust....in fact there's hardly any Nismo after-market stuff on the NIsmo!!!!!

[evildky]

MSRP for an 08 nismo isn't 40k, it's 38k, and most dealers are sellign them for 5k under sticker

[R350Zz33]

Sweeettt, thanks for the link.

[mcheddadi]

damn I'm serisouly considering getting a 09 or 10 370z in two and a half years, when my lease is over. freaking rwd is the sex plus that manual with downshift rev match (I suck at heel toe haha) looks soo hot.

but the kids probably won't fint since its a two seater. why can't it be a 2+2!?
