spursmaddave Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 (edited) Yeah I think it's only right to pass on the information and obviously speculate about residuals.... At the end of the day the 370 was/is a poor seller, that doesn't make it a bad car, just a car that is out of place these days... If they revamped it and fitted a smaller turbo charged engine in it then it would probably sell better these days...

eXceed Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I've just bought a brand new 370Z GT Edition for £26995, a £9k saving off list. Was originally looking for used but at that price I couldn't refuse! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoff-r Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Don't care, never thought I'd say it but I'll be keeping mine for years yet. Still loving it after 3 years. Probably looking at Uprev and HFCs this year to make it 'new an fresh' again.....love the 370! +1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suits Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 (edited) The used Market has seen about £3000 come off the £20'000 - £23'000 priced cars in the last 6 months, so a £20'000 is now £17'000. I'm very keen to buy but can'y help but keep procrastinating as the price falls. It's very annoying but pointlessly rewarding at the same time.

ioneabee Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 I did wait for the GT Edition to come out although part of me still hankers for the anniversary (or black) edition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you're right, it's a ridiculous cycle to be in, something I'm not proud about. I'm only doing myself one way or another. Me i bit the bullet and never looked back Indeed, I don't need a new toy though and this is what it will be, a toy. I already have a car and travel using the train/tube for work. Therefore it's harder for me to be that rational about it. I'll still get one though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebized Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Just accept that in this day and age you are going to lose money on cars but if they are your passion and there is something you like get it and enjoy it or you will end up missing out and kicking yourself later. Life is too short to put off until tomorrow what you could have today, as I know all too well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-I-G-G-E-R-Z Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Just picked up my 2009 370z gt from the chester dealers after the recall part being fitted and I looked at the 2013 gt model not on the fore courts yet with a price of £35,000 I then said that I might be interested in one and they offered me £15,000 part ex on the new car mmmmmmm I love my car not selling her for that and when I get my new exhaust fitted soon I will love it even more , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went from 2009 GT to the 2010 Black Edition purely because I really wanted the limited edition, but there's no mechanical difference as far as I know - just the improved sat nav. I believe the changes to the facelift model are mostly cosmetic as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1 HNK Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 The suspension was revised to suit U.K roads. Never driven them back to back but the motoring press say it was a big improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was given one to try in comparison to mine and and it felt little different. Get more "improvement" from simply changing tyres to MPSS from the feed back on here.

I'm not knocking Colin's opinion in the slightest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
