Would you still get a 2010

fastv · 07-06-2011, 12:18 PM

I was looking at the base with sport package and found a new 2010. How much a hit of the price does that year take vs a 2011.
Practically its a 2 year old car but new. what do you think a fair price to offer would be , the sticker is 34.8k. Also there is no special financing or any rebates, thats what they told me.

Depending on other options (7AT?, Nav?), the price may vary. But assuming manual, non-nav...

I would think you could shoot them an offer of 31k, but there's no guarantee that they'll take it. Remember, they've paid taxes to keep it on their lot, so they'll probably be selling at a loss for that price.

for the simple question of considering a 2010, if the paint and moldings, odo, and interior all look okay, i'd get a 2010.

the battery will need a recharge and tire psi checked for sure.

31k is the going rate for 2011 , I will have to look at the cars as I might get a better deal. I am new to the Z , just to make sure , did they have any changes in the 2011. I friend of mine was telling me about the 2009's having temperature issues.

All Z's can have oil temp issues. You can read up on that on these forums. Usually it's if you thrash the car.

2011 carried over very few changes from 2010, all very slight improvements, like the option of a rear-view camera.

mines a 2009 and never encountered said oil temp issue... your friend reading too many magazines.

Ken, the car is capable of more than 5k rpm, just fyi

Value proposition is good. I bought an 09 in 2010...got a killer deal, and there are very few changes.

fastv · 07-06-2011, 12:43 PM

the only downside is no SAT radio standard, which I think is a must have for new cars.

I disagree on that one, but that's ok, we all have different opinions and standards.

okay!

Three weeks ago I purhcased a 10 roadster base that had an MSRP of 38,900 for 32,900. But the vehicle had also been used as a dealer car (driven by the dealership manager) with 500 miles. Since I was leasing, I knew I'd be under warentee the whole time of the lease so i was comfortable.

Find an 11 at any distance and show them the price. They know they will need to come down more with a 10.

You can save a bit of money on a 10. Like what people said before, only change is rear view cam (with nav pkg(?)) and new exterior color (gun metallic). If it's a new car then warranty starts when you purchase it.

I wouldn't pay a dime over $29k for a 2010 base + sport.
