Ways to Protect Your Nissan 370z Coupe Resale Value

If you have purchased a new Nissan 370z Coupe 2016 model, you are likely to be already aware of how this vehicle is a sound buy. However, just because a vehicle has a history of providing a good resale value it doesn’t mean you can sit back and do nothing. Here are several ways you can minimise depreciation and protect your resale value.

Ensure it is Maintained and Kept Clean:

Although it may seem obvious, many drivers overlook the importance of keeping your 370z clean and tidy. Although it can be difficult to avoid dings in car parks, you should keep an up to date maintenance and repair log.

Watch Your Odometer:

The lower the number of kilometres on your odometer, the higher the potential resale value. You should try to limit the kilometres you drive to below the average 15,000 per year. Luxury and sports cars tend to suffer particularly on their resale value once the odometer exceeds 100,000 kilometres, so keep an eye on how often your 370z is on the road.

Consider the Options:

While added options can be very appealing, you should be aware that they may have a higher depreciation rate. Don’t make the mistake of buying the cheapest variant and adding a few optional extras. In terms of resale value, it is better to simply purchase a higher spec variant.

Choose the Right Colour:

Although you may have a hankering for a hot pink sports car, this is not particularly a good choice to protect resale value. There are safe colours such as black, white, silver or red, which are most likely to hold maximum resale value. Models such as the Nissan 370z Coupe do have distinct shades available, but these tend to be iconic Nissan colours, and therefore will age well. Just be aware of choosing a colour that will date very quickly.

Consider an Automatic:

Since the majority of Australian drivers prefer self shifting models, there will be less demand for your vehicle if it has a manual gearbox. There can be exceptions for performance or sports cars, but if you prefer to drive an automatic it could help to protect your resale value.

Keep it For Longer:

Most drivers prefer to upgrade their car every three years or less. However, you can protect your resale value by keeping your car for as long as possible. This will allow you to spread the depreciation loss over a greater number of years. With an iconic vehicle like the 370z, there is no stigma attached to keeping it for many years. This means that not only can you enjoy the experience of driving a fantastic coupe for years to come, but you will have really got your money’s worth.
