2013 Nissan 370Z — would a large MSRP cut make you wait before buying?

TowScout224Community StarterAug 10, 20262013 Nissan 370Z TouringNew Jersey
2013 Nissan 370Z Touring, about 146,000 miles. Price cuts and incentives are good for new buyers but can hit recent owners resale hard. How much do you consider potential manufacturer price moves when buying a newer EV or luxury car?

I'd treat 12V warnings as a no-ignore. On the 2013 Nissan 370Z, I'd get the 12V/DC-DC side checked even if the traction pack looks fine. Then you'll know the next fork. On “would a large msrp cut make you,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Not gospel, but it saved me a headache. Climate here is different, so treat that as a local data point. If the story changes I'll post the new data.

Low-voltage gremlins will strand you even with a full pack. Try a second charger before blaming the 2013 Nissan 370Z — site sharing and pack temp change the curve a lot. I'd do that before spending real money. I'd want a dollar figure or a measured spec, not 'should be fine.' Worth doing even if the car feels fine right now. If that fails I'll eat the diagnostic fee.

Not convinced that's the whole story. Match starting SOC and battery temp if you're comparing 2013 Nissan 370Z charge sessions. That's where I'd start. This is from a 2013 Nissan 370Z in New Jersey with 146,000 miles. A shop burned me once by skipping that step. A day of patience here is cheaper than a wrong part. I'll poke at it this weekend.

Don't clear the alert just to make the screen pretty. Leave the alerts on the 2013 Nissan 370Z so service can see what you saw. Then you'll know the next fork. Stop there until you know. I already checked the easy fluid levels.

Charge curves lie if you don't match starting SOC and temp. Match starting SOC and battery temp if you're comparing 2013 Nissan 370Z charge sessions. I'd do that before spending real money. This is from a 2013 Nissan 370Z in New Jersey with 146,000 miles. Take it or leave it — that's what I'd do. I'd rather pay for diagnosis than a second guess-repair.
