What will stop you from owning the new Z?

[jdm-rhd]

Only if I end up getting a Challenger first this summer.

which trim are you looking at?

I'm dead set it on it. Def not New, as markups will be there plus the wait times due to chip shortage could mean we'll see deliveries in Summer versus Spring. I'll just for lightly used/CPO unless my then-wife wants New, then i'll get new

forgot about the chip shortage....
dealers will prob get limited numbers and use that as an excuse to keep them at msrp or mark them up.
there are people who will be willing to pay to be "first"

If I HAVE to sell my RB 240Z

i think you would really hate yourself if you did that.

No convertible will keep me from purchasing ......

 

[jdm-rhd]

The only thing that could possibly stop me (and I hope I'm not jinxing myself) is if my Impala which currently has 165K miles gives up the ghost before the Z goes on sale.

Well that, and if there are crazy dealer markups. I refuse to pay over MSRP.

in that case id buy a beater....sell it when you get the z for part of the down payment.
or you could alway lease for a year.

the crazy dealer mark-ups are one thing, but we don't have an "offical" nissan price guide.
if the base ends up being 40k (which wll be around $43-44 usd w/ ttl) i may be out.
that would put me close to 2022 sti numbers and i would rather get that....or get a lower trim wrx for $30k

What will stop you from owning a Z? - getting over preconceived notions about Lotus. The new Emira is very tempting.

 

[Bobcat]

which trim are you looking at?

I was originally thinking a loaded scat pack with dyanamics, AS and brass monkey wheels or a shaker. But now I'm trying to decide between the 1320 and widebody. I almost ordered the 1320 in Sinamon stick last week, but when I saw an F8 WB with the carbon wheels and red brembos, I almost went with that. IDK, I mean the WB has more bling, better handling and I can get the caramel seats, but the 1320 is a better bang-for-the-buck as it is about 4k less the way I have them optioned, its the fastest (of the Scat Packs) and rarest trim, but you can only get it with black seats and I would have to get an extra set of wheels and tires for DD compared to the WB. But if I went with the WB, I would be paranoid about going thru car washes and some tight areas like fast food drive ups or even bank drive ups and such.

I would wait for the NISMO …

What will stop me from getting a new Z? If I get laid off.

[jdm-rhd]

i think back to the 1st year model vehicles ive bought and it scares me lol.
id love to get one as soon as it comes out, but im afraid of the mark-ups.

then im not sure i can wait for the excitement to die down because of the extended chip shortage/covid issues.
and who knows what issuse may arise. im needing something pretty quick. anyone else?

There should not be a markup at all on this car. It’s a mass production car.. do y’all think there is gonna be a markup on the new 86/brz? Didn’t think so.

As far as the first Production year goes, it seems this is pretty much a z34 with the VR motor. The 370 was in production long enoughto identify any issues and it seems that Infiniti has worked out the early problems with the VR30 platform.

Maybe I’m naive, but I’m very hopeful!

I realize, and said as much when I posted it - was just trying to help him get around the paywall

Regardless, promising to see improvements for them on bottom line via the link you shared

I'm right there with you. Doesn't surprise me to see it on C8's, etc. for example - it's a complete redesign, and it's a different audience. But this? Nah.
