Sport pkg's are going to be in much higher demand overall so some dealers may sell a sport pkg Z above value right now do to it being summer. Most sports cars are bought between march and july. So basically its just a bad time to shop for a good used car deal on a sports car. As far as if you're getting a good deal or not? It would really depend on what the Z goes for in your area. Z cars are expensive in dallas vs NYC where you can get good deals on a Z.
I would put in your zip code in cars.com. add a radius of 250-500 miles and see what the Z generally goes for. Then use the price average of cars in your year and mileage to haggle. So if the average car posts for around $28k. You will offer 26.5 and not give them more than 27k.

Haggling based off 3 owners will be hard considering its easy to justify a sports car being owned this much. Too many people like driving a different sports car every year. Buying Newsed is a common way to go for people like this cuz they don't take the hardest hit on depreciation if they know how to haggle.

not to thread jack, but a local dealer is offering a 2011 370 Touring 6M from $42K down to $35k

Man, you really made out! Is there a story behind that sale? Congratulations on a great buy. Uhh, you did have it looked at by a good mechanic, right?

No "R" title or Carfax issues? That's incredible and what I've always looked for---and never found in 40 years!

i just paid $31,700 for a 2011 6M Touring... (new off the lot)

sonic370 · 07-07-2012, 09:05 PM

just my 2 cents. do your homework get dealer to show you a up to date car fax.

i think it will show each owner and how many miles each owner put on the car.
you may find one or at least two hardly drove it at all. then have someone you trust go over the car. i think it's priced a tad to high see if you can get him down just a little more. but in my area it seems a clean used 370 is bring top dollar right now... good luck.............

Limited production and no rebates ever offered on the 370Z kept the resale value high.

Great price! But what is a dealer doing with a new 2011 when the 2013s are starting to arrive? How many miles did the car have on it? I ask because I bought a "new" Base+Sport six months ago and it had 430 miles on it. I think I got a pretty good deal ($33K) despite the mileage. No problems so far.

sfearl1 · 07-07-2012, 09:39 PM

Paid 29k for my '10 with ~2k miles

you did make a good deal. I bought an 09 new 10 miles on it
right when the 2010's came out. It was the last one on the
lot got it for 29,995

With the 2013's coming out, I could probably get into a nice 2012 for not much more than what they want for this one.

Three owners in two years..?? Remember the old Steve Martin gag where he finds a house that other owners want to get rid of.. and it turns out its haunted...You never know..

seems a little high for a base with sport pkg. If it was a touring model then maybe. The sport pkg is nice but the touring pkg is worth more at resale time.

Like everyone else said, check on the three owners, might have just been transfers from an actual owner, to auction, then to a dealer, not at all uncommon since almost all used cars come from auctions.
