Wow! That is a huge rip off. I bought mine for the same price the previous owner traded it in for. It's an 09 touring 7AT with 15k miles and I bought It certified used for $26k. You should be getting a lot more for yours. You could try selling it yourself it try CarMax.

For those that say the new Mustang can't handle, In the C&D lightening lap the Mustang
obliterated the EVO, Sti, and others around the track. Plus 4.3 0-60 and 12.8 1/4 mile times out of the box. This thing is a beast.

Seems like CarMax might very well be the place to sell to, then.

Tough time to sell, though. Most places won't offer a lot right now, as it's a sports car and it's winter. That will be a justification for a low-ball offer. Believe me.

But then if you want to trade/sell in summer, the price of the car you want to buy inflates, assuming it's also a performance car. Ideally, sell in Summer, buy in November, but that doesn't fit many people's habits.

CarMax is likely to give you a good deal, though, because they can move the cars a lot easier than a new-car dealership can. It's cheaper for them to keep a car in inventory as well.

CarMax is exactly the place that gave us the "sports car cold weather" rap.

I suggest using CarMax as the first stop. Their offers are good for 7 days or so many miles. Other dealers say they'll beat or match a CarMax appraisal. I'd take the appraisal with me, negotiate the deal for a set price at other dealers, and get the best deal possible. It'll take a lot of driving, but it can be done.

thanks man, i was about to pick up a white 370z, but the GT was too good of a deal to pass on. our sister has a yellow 370z as well. it could've been 3 in the family, but 2 Z's is good enough lol.

Sterling Gray FTW. That's pretty cool that your bro & sis both have 370s.

Steve, come on! The car is Gray. There is no need to fancy it up with "Sterling". You would never catch Nissan making up fancy names for basic colors like silver or gray.
