The 2009 Nissan 370Z

If you want to start thinking about a car to look at in time for the year-end clearances, keep this one in mind. This is almost a retro-style car – if you remember the 70’s, or you’ve at least heard of them, you’ll recognize the styling cues.

It has a 3.7 liter engine, makes 332 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque…comes with your choice of a 7 speed automatic or 6 speed manual and gets a ‘kind of respectable’ 26 mpg on the highway. It was priced at around $30,000 new so you might be able to get a nice price now.
