Just bought my Nismo!
I just concluded the purchase of my solid red 09 Nismo! Then I check my email and I got my acceptance email for the forum, it's gonna be a great day! I owned a 03' 350Z with 104,000 miles traded it in and got an even $5500. I thought not bad. I wanted an 09' 370Z but it was too much money for me. My life has since changed and I have a well paying job now and I was looking for a new car. I was gonna buy a new 370z base with the sport option. Just for kicks I did a used search and found a lot of used Z's with low miles. Then in Emmaus Pa. I found a 09 Nismo with 6042k on the dash for $29,995 huh? I thought the car was damaged and had a bad carfax. It was 50 miles from me and when I called for a test drive I let it be known that I wanted no BS. When I got there they had the carfax report ready for me and it was clean. One owner, garage kept he was over 50 yrs old. I drove the car and fell in love and I never went higher than 3k revs, outta respect for the car and dealership, which was well appreciated. Then the bargaining began and they were stubborn. I used Edmunds.com for reference and used they're T.M.V. (Total market value) the cars in my area was being sold at about $24000. which was a shock for me being new at $40k+ I said I would'nt pay a penny over $25k, they said no and I left. I got a call on Friday and Tariq the salesman told me they could do $26,500 I told him thanks but the Conicelli dealership is gonna sell me a new Base model at the price I wanted, letting him know that price was the one and only decision in my quest for a car not the allure of the car itself. So I kinda rudely got off the phone. I got a call on saturday and was given the $25000 price I wanted! After dealing with the bank and getting the APR I wanted I sealed the deal this morn and will pick it up on Feb 26 my bday,(going on a vacation) for a bday gift to me. I'm so excited and I feel like I got a great deal because I got destroyed on my first car buying experience from a dealership in 1998, 18% apr! I'm off today and all my buds are at work so I had to tell someone, and who not better to tell than all my new brothers and sisters on the almighty 370 Forum. My next post wont be so long, sorry, but I hope you can feel my excitment! Here's some pics of my old girl who served me greatly over the years and one battery and belt change gave me no problems! The pic with the Stang is before I did some work on her.
