30k for a Brand New 370z

So this is startling news in the best of ways:

2016 Nissan 370Z starts at under $30,000 in Canada | Driving

Spoiler!


INB4 mb_ buys a 370z instead of an FRS/BRZ.

And in other news... FRS/BRZ sales drop 25%.

That's awesome news, maybe I can have a hope of buying a used 370Z for $20k in years to come...

Good news for anyone who doesn't already own one, I'm guessing the price of the FRS/BRZ and Genesis coupe were hitting them too hard. Sucks for anyone who already has one though.

The other good news to these vehicles is that forums like the370z and myg37 have an abundance of quality used parts and pieces for these cars. Since the thing has been around for so long. You can pick up everything from carbon fenders to Twin Turbo kits for cheap.

In terms of used 370's on CL, those guys are fucked, I see used 2013 and 2014 base models listed for anywhere from 35 to 40 grand. All of a sudden you can buy a brand new one from 5k-10k cheaper from the dealer.

I'd expect prices for a good example 2012-2013 370 to dip around the 25k mark before this coming winter.

2009-2011 vehicles will be have to drop to 20k in no time.

Yes the Nismo is an utter rip off now, being that the price wasn't adjusted. Literally you can expect to see unsold Nismo cars on dealer lots for years to come unless they drop the price. Nobody will pay 17k extra for a bumper and some nicer seats.

They probably come with all the options checked already.

Just a wild guess too, but things like e-lsd and brembo brakes and recaro seats and maybe electronic suspension too? A nismo jumps up big time. Though in history you pay more for the nismo name than what you actually end up with

This is comparable to a lower end model that's been offered in the US for around US$30k - cloth seats, etc.

Interesting. I'd take a 370Z over an FRS/BRZ any day of the week. Perhaps even over a Mustang Ecoboost? Although the Mustang certainly has "more" in terms of potential for more power with a tune and bolt-ons given that it's boosted...

Yeah 370z can compete with boxster and Cayman in terms of performance. Who would buy FRS for the same price?

332hp for 30k, or 200hp for 25k.... it seems like a no brainer to me.

This won't be good for FRS/BRZ sales at all.

The nismo 370z comes with Akebono brakes, they are the exact same brakes which come on the regular sport package car.

I assume the most common configuration (for users on RS) after this price drop would become the base 370z plus the sport pack.

For $34k you have the 6 speed with the rev matching, the exact same brakes and drivetrain as the Nismo model.

That leaves you with almost 15k to do, exhaust, suspension, bodywork, and upgrade your seats, before you reach the price of the Nismo to make it worth it.

EDIT: grab and ark exhaust for $1000 bucks, some KwV3's for $2500, some new seats for 2-3k, and you are killing any Nismo model 370z for 10k less.

If all we're measuring is horsepower, you can get a Genesis coupe with brembo brakes, torsen diff, and 348hp for under 30k...

I don't care for the looks or driving characteristics of the 370Z, but god damn, it feels like 2x the car that the Genesis is.

WOW, WHAT A TIME TO SELL ALL OUR CARS

edit: while this seems like good news though, the 350z was only priced at 25k for the base model...So you could say that Nissan actually priced the 370 too high to begin with

The great part is the "BASE" model is totally the one that you want. 6spd manual, xenons, bluetooth, LSD, cloth seats, and nothing else. Add sweet wheels/tires, win.

Having worked for Nissan and selling Nissans for a few years...


advertised at $29,998 before freight and pdi, and the car would be a car with extremely limited allocation.
