The Nissan 370Z (Z34) debuted for the 2009 model year, continuing the Z car legacy with a renewed focus on performance. It features a shorter, wider, and lighter body than the 350Z it replaced, powered by the potent 3.7-liter VQ37VHR V6 producing 332 horsepower. A key feature was the optional SynchroRev Match manual transmission, the world's first on a production car to automatically blip the throttle on downshifts.
Collectors are drawn to the 370Z for its purist formula: a powerful, naturally aspirated engine, rear-wheel drive, and an available 6-speed manual. It stands as one of the last of its kind before the widespread adoption of turbocharging and more complex electronics. The higher-performance NISMO models, with up to 350 horsepower, track-tuned suspension, and aggressive aero, are the most sought-after variants for their increased capability and exclusivity.
With an average sale price around $22,000, the 370Z market is very accessible. The wide price spectrum reflects the car's long 11-year production run. Lower prices correspond to early, high-mileage, or modified examples, while the top of the market is commanded by pristine, late-model NISMOs and special editions. The car remains a strong performance value compared to its contemporaries.
Buying Tips
- Check for Concentric Slave Cylinder (CSC) failure on manual cars. A soft clutch pedal or records of a replacement, ideally with a heavy-duty aftermarket kit, are good signs.
- Early models (pre-2013) are prone to gallery gasket failure, which can cause catastrophic oil pressure loss. Check oil pressure readings and listen for any unusual engine noise.
- The steering lock module can fail, preventing the car from starting. Many owners pull the fuse as a preventative measure, so check if this has been done.
- Inspect rear differential bushings for wear or leaking fluid. Worn bushings can cause clunking sounds from the rear end during acceleration or shifting.
Prices range from around $7,250 for high-mileage examples to $56,000 for top-spec NISMO variants.
