Marketed is getting flooded with new cars coupled with good rebates, making it harder to sell used cars.
For this particular segment is getting competitive with competition pushing both from the top and bottom and middle echelons.
Nissan surely needs to rethink the pricing for the next gen, there is a problem when a loaded nismo is pushing 45k when you can get a c7 vette for a little more. Also not helping that hyundai and other bottom feeder manufacturers nipping at Z sales with their sporty coupes.
Probably not helping that the next gen Z is going to be revealed next month...
Honestly right now is a buyers market for sports cars, 22k does seem a little low though, considering that a new civic si is close to that mark.

Good points.. I remember when I lease my new 1995 supra t. Turbo the sticker was 50k then.. well lack of sales forced them to drop the msrp to 37k in 97 and then end of supra after that..

This is why!

Also, you're trying to sell a sports car in late October when winter weather starts kicking in. The best time to sell a sports car is in May/June (even in CA).

Best wishes on the sale!

That's why I plan to buy a used Z in Nov/Dec.... Dealers/people don't want to hold on to their sports car all winter. Not here in the N. East.

Please let me know. I need help ASAP.
 
Hate to bring this thought, but most people want manual in a car like this. I know a lot of people have and like the autos, but they're (auto) going to be a little harder to sell IMO.

not in my area, people want a car like this in an auto because automatics are convenient

only enthusiasts want a car like this in manual(here at least)

@OP
you're asking too much for the car

sell it in the summer

how come you're selling if you ask me?
im also 20, in college, working and i have been making payments on my Z for over a year now

The Z is not practical. It is a toy. An amazing impractical toy! There is a small market for amazing impractical toys.

True but an unmarried 20 year old doesn't need practicality. The biggest item I carried in my Z was 2 tires for my eclipse and all I did was remove the spare before picking then up and it fit right in.

Plus its a good excuse to save gas when eating lunch with more than 1 friend, "we can take my car oh wait, I only can sit 1 person, let's take XXX's car instead"

I disagree. When I was 20 and in college I was parking my car in a cramped outdoor parking lot and needed a car that could easily navigate huge pedestrian-crossing speed plateaus and otherwise take a beating. Oh, and not saddling myself with a needless car payment was also nice.

There's more to practicality than cargo space.
