Dont Flame me

Minsu

i feel like giving up on this z purchase no dealer is willing to come down on price....freak man. i found a 2lt camaro for 22k 2012...with like 11k miles

i cant seem to find any z's that are white or gunmetal even 2011 for CLOSE to that price.
lowest i got so far was 30k.....

then joe from koeppel nissan said just get a new 2013 for 0apr financing. said it would be the same price as a 2012 with interest but the OTD price is 38k...
im at a loss, i cant handle that right now. what should i do. Im actually thinking of going to see this camaro....

kenchan

can't cause i cant see your post.

onzedge

OP: I say abandon the Z and get yourself a nice Prius Spec-R or Prius SS. Don't forget a helmet too.

22k is pretty low for a 370Z brother

In any case, keep us posted as to what you end up doing, we're lovers of ALL cars here and their owners are always welcome

That Z is in a completely different league than that V6 Camaro and depreciates much less. It will be difficult to find a dealer willing to sell a clean 2011 for under 30k unless it's a strippo or a lot of mileage. Maybe you should start looking here in the vehicle threads. There are a lot of clean examples

yea but i cant pay the forum member full cash. hes not a dealer so i cant give him a 13k downpayment and an IOU for the rest.

unless im misinformed and there are ways of doing this

I don't like OTD prices because I don't know what fees are in NJ, but assuming $3-4k is TTL, you SHOULD be able to find a base 2011 for around 25k... Just gotta look in further locations... Fùck it... Shoot me a text, lets find you a car (31O)eight nine three-42O7

You can walk into a bank and get a loan, and the bank will pay the guy

You dont have to pay cash. You go to your credit union and apply for financing to buy a car from an individual seller. Your credit union will tell you how much you are approved for., and you shop on that basis. If they say you are approved for $25k (for example), hit the forums and look for one around that cost. Make the seller an offer, and if they agree, the bank will send them a check. You will just pay your monthly payment to the bank. Hope this helps..

Penfed and other credit unions, banks, etc. will cut you a blank check (usually limited to 25k) to pay for a private sale used car. It's all on the autoloan section of the respective websites.

If you're having this much trouble just buying the car then you should just stop. Gas, tires, insurance, etc. are all going to kill you. I'm assuming you work a wage job because I remember reading you make money teaching tennis or something. What happens if you get sick for a few weeks at a time where you can't work? Missing a payment isn't an option.

Buying the car is just the beginning. The cost of ownership is another 4 or 5k a year (depending on how much you drive) ONTOP of your monthly payment.

Not a bad plan

Few years ago I wanted a 350Z bad, it just wasn't in the cards, couple years later, lucked out even better getting a 370Z

You have to go for what you want most of the time but within reason...if u think u might put yourself in a bad spot, you probably will.

Good luck!

i mean im not trying to get the z for 22k i was hoping i can get a 2011 or 2012 for under 28k OTD but no one and i mean NO ONE is willing to come down on that.
im getting retardedly frustrated of this car purchase. I always wanted a z but im thinkin i just get the camaro now and the z later or something.

i dont want to make a financial mistake too young for that.

i want to be comfortable in the car, but i also dont want to regret getting a second choice car because i couldnt afford the first. am i being blinded by the z or which do you think is smarter

In all honesty, if you're having such a hard time settling for a Z, maybe it's not right for you. Move on with your life. Join the Camaro5 forum and leave the370z behind.

If a Z is too expensive for you, get the Camaro and just be done with it. Enjoy a new car. If you REALLY and truly wanted a Z, you would have got one by now, because if you really want something, you'll get it no matter the cost.

Or the alternative is just to wait for at least another 3-4 years or so for the prices of Z's to drop and pick one up then.
