Why are they so cheap?

A lot of people bought them, nobody took care of them

They have all been beat on and worn down be prepare to spend on maintenance if you plan on getting one also perform mediocre stock gotta spend a ton to make it fast

cuz they're the new 180sx

>GARBAGE interior
>mehhhh HP
>looks are hate it or love it
>It was only $29k when it came out
>they are 14 years old
>they sold millions of them
That's pretty much it.

Complete garbage bsame reason 4 years old hyundais sell for 1k

Universally true. So hard to find one that isn't beaten to shit. Only white trash buy them now.

Also first gen G35's

if you arent a manlet the interior will give you claustrophobia

>factory suspension is garbage
>factory exhaust is garbage, despite being quiet, somehow still manages to drone
>interior is shit
>the vape crowd likes them
>even the trunk is retarded

It's the new Silvia, pretty much. The only things it has going for it are RWD and power. For the same kind of money you can get a MUCH better car from BMW. When it works, anyway.

Bonus round:
>despite having a longitudinal V6, the engine bay is cramped as FUCK
>timing chain issues

>you can get a MUCH better car from BMW.
lol

non M e46 are trash

>10+ year old cars over 100k miles.
>SUPER common because tons were sold.
>Lots of salvage titles because people rag the shit out of them
>Burns a bit of oil but otherwise reliable drive train so they rarely die

They ride, and handle, which is more than you can say about the 350Z.

>they sold millions of them

that's just not true.

They sold like 150k in the US. Total figures are less than a quarter of a million.

until the rear subframe rusts and the whole rear snaps apart

I'd rather get a 300zx than a 350z or even a 370z.

yfw these are getting cheaper than 240s

They are overpriced imo

Aren`t Silvias actually good cars though? That is as long as some faggot didn`t ruin it before.

How much do they cost where you live? They're super rare and expensive in norway (all fast nissans are). An early one costs around 40k

>norway
why don't you just import one?

beaten to shit by mexicans

>€
Just get a Boxster instead.

Import taxes are insane. It would probably be cheaper but not by much

Too big and fat to hang with the miata in curves, too slow to keep up with the mustang GT.

Most of them came in auto.

in other words

>v6 garbage

They are not fast and can't be fast without forced induction meaning $3k+ just to get started.

Get a car with potential from the factory.

Like what?

A 1991 miata and a crate engine?

Plentiful French Nissan /thread

Not to mention the ride is fucking awful. You hear everything inside the cabin.

So the 350 is pretty shit.

What's Veeky Forums's opinion of the 370?

IMO they're actually a sweet deal for the money. Relatively quick with good handling and a huge aftermarket.
If Veeky Forums says it's shit does anyone have any better alternatives?

Any factory turbo car.

Why has no one made a better 4 cylinder turbo than Ford?

an RX-8? not idiot-friendly and looks are also love it / hate it but eh if you're looking for a nissan z in the first place maybe Rx-8 hits those weird buttons too.

the car itself is cheap since it's really just a poor man's Rx-7 that's inferior in every way, I don't think anyone actually likes it, and the only people who like it are the people who fooled themselves Stockholm-style because they can't afford to waste money on an Rx-7

>better alternatives?
300zx tt.

the last good Z car.

Not him.

There are two 300ZXs anywhere near me. One is a tt with the rear end completely and utterly fucked. The other is non-turbo, cheap as fuck and automatic. Any others are far away and pricey as hell

Better in every aspect.

>not the Lancer Evolution X FQ-400

>people seriously though Ghosn was going to allow Nissan to offer a serious sports car outside of the GT-R

you faggots reaped what you sowed.

It's a Z car that doesn't really capture any of the appeal of the Z car. It has no real market in this day and age.

>slower than mustang
Why does Veeky Forums unirinically shill for new Mustangs like this?

But why not?

All Nissan needs is to make something light and simple. A front-engined, RWD 4 banger with the go-fast variant being turboed.

Surely, something like this wouldn't get in the way of the R35.

But nope, we got the half-arsed attempt at a sports car that the last two Zs are.

>the mustang is shit
>everything must be compared to the mustang

Veeky Forums in a nutshell

Underrated post.

Pretty much this. They are pretty good cars overall but the ones being sold are generally in need of overdue maintenance which is going to add several thousand to the price. Bearings, bushings, springs, hoses, shocks, belts, timing chain, tires, and so on. Then just when you think you're good to go, you run into a bunch of other meme issues like your alternator shitting the bed, thermostat shitting the bed, or water pump shitting the bed.

I used to be one of the biggest "just buy an old jap car, they are fine" shills but after having experienced the meme firsthand, I now see why newer is truly better.

can the same be said for 370z?

There were more BMW's & Z's at CLN then 240's
That said, after the inlet from my turbo manifold blew apart I went for a ride along in this Z that had only like $6k put into it, & it was fucking amazing in comparison to a 240. Just the stability & reliability, you honesty couldn't get a 240 at that state for the same budget.
