Depends on car seat / booster seat!

My kids too little. Oldest closer to be able to fit in back seat with booster in RSX, so getting there! 2 seater out of the picture for another few years if mit decade, haha.

my daughter is 7, so I think she could just sit in the front?

Depends on what state you live in

So the $400-$500 effective payment (depending on the spec & if you do a one pay) is a poor lease because you’re prioritizing personal preferences over assessing the deal at face value. :face_with_raised_eyebrow: This is also a newly released generation of a sports coupe during this crazy market, mind you. It is incredible that a true two seater Nissan coupe, with manual still offered, has made it this far.

FWIW - I will argue that Nissan STILL kept old parts from previous gens. That is a check mark on their account, but I don’t understand the business behind it.

How can you not?

Do you wear the cheapest underwear you can find? Do you live off the cheapest food you can find all year long? Do you live in the cheapest house you could find?

When it comes to performance cars, who cares what the cheapest shitbox is? These are not appliances to go from A to B.

I think one of the main problems is that the current car is still on that same platform…

Assuming you can get it at MSRP.

If only this car was released during normal market conditions…….there would have been a chance Nissan produced too many of these, would have been forced to discount them heavily and then it could have became a leasehackr special

eventually they will be available at MSRP, it’s not that great of a car, it’s a Nissan after all

I’ve been wanting a 370z for so long now. Hopefully this will bring those prices down & i can sleep on the couch for only a few days :smiley:

I don’t believe a normal market would result in such high residuals.

Based on what I see Nissan is shying always from 36 month high residuals over the last few months. They have dropped them quite a bit.

Guess they are predicting a market change in about 18 months.

Rather sleep in the car than the couch.

I could do that with the TRX. The Z is too small😂

Don’t fix what isn’t broken. :man_shrugging:t2:

I agree, but I also wouldn’t get one unless it was MSRP or below.

I’ve owned many vehicles, but I think the 370z is one that I really regret selling. I loved that car.

I hear ya, but I’ll circle back with the LT1. The car isn’t that great once the price/TCO is removed from the equation. Look at Camaro sales (in their entirety) - they don’t sell. The new Z is an admiral proposition, assuming the figures stick and the car can be bad at MSRP or better.

I think TCO is definitely an appealing factor here (assuming MSRP) and it was with the LT1 craze as well. For $400 a month , I think the Z is well worth the money. I don’t think they’re are any other comparable options in that price range?

It comes down to personal preference, but if the both cars were the same price, I’d take the Camaro.

3.0 liter turbo’d sport cars aren’t as appealing as they once were to me. Cars like the new Z, Supra/ Z4 are nice to look at. But then I ask myself, how those cars would be better than a M340i for my own uses?

Personally, I don’t drive many place where I’m going to need a car thats as precise as a scalpel.
I don’t think most people do either, which is why two seat coupes are niche market cars.
If I was going to buy, and not lease, a car that’s not particularly practical in the 45k range, a V8 Camaro or Mustang are better choices for me. If I’m going to go full EV in a few years, might as well hear the glorious V8 roar while I still can.

I was a Z and G fan in the early 2000’s but that has changed as well.

fine, i’ll take one. where do i sign
