Just took the daughter back to college after weekend visit. Wife, daughter, those with college kids can guess on the baggage - try that in a 2-seat sports car. Daughter is 5'6", former high school athlete, so not that big, but still...
I'll never dis the back seats in a 928 - it all depends on how big your friends and family are!

There are several NICE S4s around under 15K; don't limit yourself to ebay. This one is currently 14.5 with 1 day left in the auction. The market may be recovering b/c there are also several expensive 85s and up. Low mileage, near mint examples are cropping up.

I don't agree with people who put down Nissan Z line down. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Nissan Z's were designed as an affordable sports car. As such, it will obviously be furnished much cheaper then Porsche's and more then likely won't have performance of the top end sports cars. If you can afford Porsche, you most likely won't even be looking at 350Z (GT-R maybe, or some other premium sport car manufacturer).

And as I already said on a previous page, why would anyone choose between modern car and one produced around 20 or even more years ago? If one is looking for a daily driver - 350Z is I think the way to go. If you already have a daily driver and just looking for a fun car on weekends, you need to decide if you want modern car or a classic one. If modern, why not consider Boxter - early cars should be within 15k; add another 5k or so and it will be same year as your 15k 350Z. If you want a classic car, then its either 928 or 300ZX or something else (BMW M5 would be the one I would definitely add to the list to look at, but plenty of other choices as well)...

Cheers!

One cool the I noticed in that G37 was the pod reminded me of the 928 pod. At least in the way that it moves.

I know I will get slammed for these comments but if your looking for a sports car your looking at the wrong cars. I wouldn't consider either a sports car. The 928 is a great GT the 350Z not sure what to call it. IMO looks are all wrong but others like it so that is up to them. The rear flairs remind me very much of the older 930's but don't do the job half as well. I will say I was rather impressed at how easy it was to drive a 370Z the 350 was too heavy and not as comfortable to drive. IMO the 370 has better turn in and more responsive handling than a 928.

Which would I prefer to drive? Well If you have 2 cars of comparable condition I would always take the 928. Even an older tired 928 has more attachment to the road than the current Nissan's. The 928 offers a ride and feel the Nissan is lacking I also find the Nissan to dart about too much with far to uncomfortable a ride. Even my track prepped C2 is more comfortable to drive on bad roads.

As far as handling on the track any of these cars are quite capable when properly set up and driven by a competent driver. I have yet to have a 928 out run me on the track in my C2. I don't profess to be a race car driver but have gone up against far more experienced 928 drivers and walked away. Although there are several well setup 928's out there that are driven by first rate drivers that have impressed me and am sure would out drive me as a driver more than the car. There are advantages each of these cars have over the other, using them to your advantage is what makes a better driver and faster around a track. The track specifics, drivers experience at that track and overall knowledge are more of a factor IMO than the car itself.

So the question is which car excites you more? Which will hold its value and which will cost the most in maintenance? Factor these together and you should have an answer.

Anthony,

I agree with you about the 928, GREAT GT car, not so much "SPORTS" car...still can do the sports car thing and set it up just a little and it can be a hell of a track car! Will come down to driver more than car at that point (and wheels/tires as it is SOOOO under tired/wheeled for track use).

I still say a G35 is WAY more attractive than a 350 or a 370, but I think I like the 300TT better than all of them and the 928 better still. Not to mention the only thing I see around here more than Vette's are the Z family (and the G brothers) cars! I almost NEVER see another 928 on the road, especially NICE ones!

Get a nice S4 (like the one in San Antonio) and you will be the only one on your block to have a nice 928, hell, maybe the only one in your TOWN! LOL! You will get questions and affectionate glances all day long and be the center of attention at car shows (unless one of the Italian exotics show up, then you will always play second fiddle to them).

There is no doubt the 928 is a head turner. Some because they like them others because they have never seen one before. Woman especially are attracted to them.

There is a very nice 928 for sale on this thread.

I agree on the 300 zx if I were looking at Nissans I would be all over one of those before I would grab a newer Z of G car

The 350z's have better looking models...

Sorry if it sounds harsh, but a few years of observing new owners and some trends are obvious. With the exception of premium cars given first rate service, most owners get a mixed experience of pain and pleasure that weeds out all but the addicted. It can be especially harsh if you go in with a tight budget, and spend most of that on the initial purchase.

It could be very different for you, but not likely.

BTW I loved my Z and my 944T, but its nothing like a 928.

Come to think of it, I would hate to see another 928 end up in the wrong hands, so perhaps you should go with the Nissan.

Ah..hes just questioning what to do..after a seriously unfortunate set of events.


Dudes car burnt down at his mechanics..before he could even drive it after buying it.

Disagree with that for sure...here is an example of the many hot girls you will find in the 2011 High Heels & Hot Wheels calendar...928 Edition!
