Should I sell my Z?

Rally Guy

I have a 2011 370z (certified) with touring sport and nav. 6 speed with 16k miles. Carmax just offered me 30k. Should I take this? Looking at the cars for sale section it seems that these take forever to sell and at values lower than this... Also I'm wondering if I do hold on should I expect my value to drop significantly next year (>5k dollars, with about 6k more miles)?

I'd say w/ the 2013s on their way 30k might be good since you already got 16k miles on yours. WHat you looking to get btw?

Rally Guy

I'm looking at moving to a e90 335i. I live in the city so I can't get the most out of sports car. Plus 400hp/400 tq with tune plus meth is freaking awesome...

Slavo22

thats what im saying im kindove struck on what to get like a 370z naturally inspired sports car or do i want a luxory sports car (335i) that i can put little money into and have a DD BEast!?!!

Yea I hear you. I helped my buddy put on downpipes, intercooler, intakes, BOV, and Cobb stage three tune. His car really came to life. He's going to do meth next also. The downpies are a big PITA though. He has a 2009. I think that was the last year for the inline 6.

Lets start some trouble. You better do your research on these guys running just a tune with all that power because it come with a price. Those single and twin turbo BMW's are very unreliable when modded.

I've never seen a thread about a 335i with a blown motor? All cars have issues, but aside from the HPFP (which is warrantied to I think 100k) what othe issues does that car have?

red6spd

Who said anything about blown motors? Just to rattle off a few issues I have read about and heard from owners themselves are, Blown Turbos or turbos failing prematurely,injector issues, and then as you mentioned the Fuel pump issues.

I know of several guys with 100K miles with no issues. But I have heard plenty of issues as you have stated.

I can say when changing out my buddies intercooler there was a lot of oil in the stock intercooler and catch can. So you know what that means. He has 33K miles on it.

Pssh... BMW's aren't reliable when they're stock.

Yeah, anyway, that seems like a fair offer to me.

red6spd

Also doesn't BMW keep a watchful eye on any mods you do to the car?

Im actually kinda surprised carfax offered so much makes me wonder what they would offer for my 09 with 32k miles. I imagine yours is mint no scratches or anything?

Thats what I'm thinking. I was very suprised by the offer. I thought it was going to be like 26-27k. I would hate to hold on to the car for a year and have it drop like 5-6k.
