      Its a gamble taking a used GTR. You really need to ask the owner how they took care of it. They are built to last a crazy amount of miles if they are taken care of but alot of people don't take care of their cars.

      They're trying to manufacture exclusivity. By only making so many and only releasing them for sale in a slow trickle, they can ensure that A: the car stays a "new cool thing" for longer, B: they can keep the price up, and C: their sales numbers show that every single one they make, they sell. Of course if they just made more, and sold them at a FAIR price, they'd move more cars. But then we would be seeing them everywhere, and by 2025 it wouldn't be the cool new thing anymore. There would also be a lot more available used, and you'd start to see some overlap between used "new z" prices and used 370z prices, depending on the condition of the cars in question. Thats kinda what I was planning for when they first anounced the new gen car. Now its looking like I'll never be able to trade up.

  • @billshoe22191

    The price tag on this is crazy and insulting. This is how the base Z should have been from the get go for $40k especially considering all the tooling, etc for this 350Z has been paid off for decades now. There is nothing bespoke about this car which means it should be more affordable as all Z cars were before it.

The interior carries over the same shit ass parts as the other nissans, just like it carries over a lot from the other shit ass Z cars. You should go look at one in person. The dome switches look like they are from a 2005 Frontier. And yet they ask 60k for it. What a joke.

    As someone who owned a loaded 370z and then bought a used GTR, go GTR. I am no fan of the new Z at all, just meh, so much of the reused parts of the 370z. Owning the GTR gives you way more power, room and of course the prestige of having it. I am in the Orlando area and I've only ever seen 1 new Z on the road, that's it!! I remember seeing the 370z when it was new and drooled over it, just the best sexy curves, I don't get that with this car. Trust me, get the GTR, you will love every single minute of it!

  • @Windows98R
    @Windows98R 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I’m sorry but a Z was meant to be the affordable sports car. Not a one butting heads with BMW’s M2 and Audi’s RS3 on price.
    What makes it worse is the Z wasn’t and isn’t made to compete at those price ranges so obviously it’ll feel missed out on comforts and features. Let’s see the German duos standard/common equipment. Powered seats? Standard. Manual options? Yes. Not to mention leather everywhere and throw in the BnO/HK sound system cause why not. Overall, a a lot more premium feeling interior based on their respective brands other cars.

    Nearly $80k (CAD) is an astonishing error in MSRP. It's also why my father-in-law turned down the new Z when Nissan tried to push a couple on him and his dealership. Even $54k for a base 2024 Z Sport is too much and NO ONE buys them. Anecdotally, anyone interested in a Nissan sports car has come in asking about available 370Z instead of the 400.
