This will be my secondary car just so everyone knows

Other than the high mileage, that seems to be a pretty good price. Even putting those miles into KBB, it looks like average selling price (from a dealer) is around $15k. The carfax looks clean, so it really comes down to how it drives.

Test drive it.
Multiple times.
With the radio off.

If you don't hear/feel/see anything that would constitute a "Red Flag" and you're ok with the miles, I say go for it. If you've got a mechanic you trust, it's worth paying them to give it a once over.

Well considering its a 6 year old car it's not to high, but yeah like gerg said earlier definitely gonna have to take a test drive to see if there's anything going on with it

dkinghl · 05-07-2015, 12:42 AM

just want to say that it may have hidden problem in it (like accident but not in carfax,clutch need replace soon, tire, brake pad...)
dealer sell it cheap because their mechanic know something wrong in that

Conclusion:bring a mechanic.

Know any near vegas? I know quite a few of the things to look for myself from my previous Z, but couldn't hurt to have it more thoroughly checked

Still high in general. I DD my car and it's at 54k... Man that's depressingly low...

54K is like at the end of the road....

Leingod · 05-07-2015, 06:41 AM

That's def a lot of miles even for an 09. I got my 09 a few weeks ago and only had 17.5k on it. Only paid 19k. I'd keep searching. End of the road was 75k miles ago.

Believe me i have been looking to see if i can find another one, but the color and options im looking for are so hard to find it's a very long shot I'll ever find another one...i mean it can't be all that bad as far as the miles go when we have guys on these forums rolling around with more miles than the car im looking at and they have no issues. Thanks for the input though guys, really appreciate it and feel free to keep them coming

I wouldn't buy a Z with almost 130K miles on the Odometer. Even though these cars go past 200K+ miles its just a little much (for my taste). I'll say keep looking for maybe something in the 80K miles range.

jpkirk · 05-07-2015, 09:02 AM

There are many folks on the forum that have high mileage Z's. If they are properly taken care of they seem to last a long time. However, this is cheap for dealer retail. Edmunds suggests the going price for a little under $16K in Vegas.

Maybe they underpriced it to move it. I doubt it though.

MyZ4U2C · 05-07-2015, 09:16 AM

Just got a 2010 40th for 20k with only 3800 miles... I'd say be patient and keep searching. I almost jumped the gun myself on a couple other Z's, glad I stayed somewhat patient.
