Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - Thinking about buying a Z

I got my Z for 16.5 from 18.
Seller was from another country and somehow mixed up the trip and odo meter. (Actual 48k after i have asked him over the phone and in person) kept saying 84k until we signed the title . Trip was 8400.5 or in that range.

So for 16.5, i got a chicane yellow 09 touring. 48k miles.

Exterior: 7/10 horrible plastidip job on the spoiler, mirrors and the front bumper area (the middle) and horrible plastidip on the CURB RASHED oem rims. Bit of paint here and there due to prev. Owner living in small college town. Alot of those paint problems seemed to be cause by other cars (like a truck tire hitting it). No biggie. I just touched it up.

Interior: 10/10 everything is and was oem and everything is still there.

What I needed after purchasing was an oil change.. brakes was going to go for maybe another 8k miles and tires for another 3k (from dealers inspection during oil change). I went ahead and purchased new pads and tires after I got home.

So. 15-18 can get you something pretty decent. It really depends if the seller is desperate and location makes a difference too!

Ex. Here in Cali when I was searching, no one had any used Z on CL in the northern region of CA. Only dealers (new n used). When I did find a private seller it was nearing 19-22k$ for a good condition w/ 50-70k miles..
Dealers asked around 25k for the same, used.

If i went down south to SF or even LA area, some would touch about 18k for a good condition to almost immaculate condition.

Hope I didnt take it too off topic.
