Price of the Nissan 350Z: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 2dr Hatch 332-horsepower 3.7L V6
6-speed manual RWD		 Half the price of the Cayman, terrific performance at the price. Has all the performance goodies (hot engine, 6 speed manual, forged wheels, limited slip differential, big brakes) albeit at a step down in quality from the Porsche
2007 2dr Convertible 306-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 Price is amazing for all the options included and the performance. The car is a rocket. Leather eated seats, heated mirrors, 6 cd changer, gripper brakes, nice ride and great handling.
2007 2dr Hatch 306-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed manual RWD		 I got a good car at a good price.
2005 2dr Hatch 300-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed manual RWD		 If you are looking for a sport car this the most bang for the money you can get.
2004 2dr Convertible 287-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 Practically a bargain nowadays when purchased used.
2003 2dr Hatch 287-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 Every other car out there is either slower around a track, or costs more than the 350Z.
2003 2dr Hatch 287-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 reasonable pricing
Price of the Nissan 350Z: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2010 2dr Hatch 332-horsepower 3.7L V6
6-speed manual RWD		 Too little car for what Nissan asks. What it does, it does really well, just not at a 10-15k premium over the Genesis
2009 2dr Hatch 332-horsepower 3.7L V6
7-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 The price was a bit too much for the car, I paid the same price for the Infiniti.
2007 2dr Hatch 306-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 not cheap
2005 2dr Hatch 287-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 i feel like the car is just slightly over-priced on its own merits, but when compared to other vehicles in its class it appears very affordable.
2003 2dr Hatch 287-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed manual RWD		 Generally they are expensive. I got mine for a great price however.
