You're the second owner? Total mileage?, model? trans.? color? history/car fax? what mods did you do? Tell us more. Include a picture of you.

I am the second owner and the car has 21,000 miles on the car now and it is 2011 NIssan 370z Pearl White base model with a buncha factory options installed onto it and it is 7 speed auto. Clean carfax and all service records available and their are no mods. It is stock besides window tint.

TXSpeedDemon · 10-25-2013, 05:40 PM

At 23k miles a $22K offer isn't that bad. $24K is best case scenario with no $ mods (like expensive rims).

I think the fact that you are 20 and selling is hurting you. People may assume the car has been thrashed a bit and you are selling cause something is wrong.

If I were your age and in your shoes I would try to get my parents to sell it for me. Buyers are gonna feel a lot more comfortable buying a sports car from a 50+ year old then a 20 yr old.

If that's not an option for you it might be best to simply bite the bullet and take the offer closest to what you want.

Here's your problem.

Base NO sport pkg. & no manual trans. with normal, NOT low mileage. Second owner.

kenchan · 10-25-2013, 05:44 PM

yah, no sport package does put a dent in the discussion.

i would sell at $22K carmax. go today and you might get $22,750.

agreed. not a very sought after model

andre12031948 · 10-25-2013, 05:48 PM

For $25k to $26k.

One man's low balling is another man's market value. It's worth what you can get...

MadChemist · 10-25-2013, 05:53 PM

If you do True Market value for your car,
Trade in value: 22,243
Private Party: 23,793
Dealer Retail: 25,201

True market value is based on what the same car has been selling for in your area. 22K is right on the spot. If you owe more, you are most likely going to have to take a hit.

You are correct sir^^^. It's worth about $22k at best. For 6k more than he's asking, you can get a new one with 3 yr. 36k warranty, not an 8 month. Plus you'll have a NEW car/more value.

If you can get $22k, my opinion, grab it!

andre12031948 · 10-25-2013, 06:20 PM

There's a guy trying to get $25,500 for a black, 6spd, one with sports pkg. & only 11k.

Jordo! · 10-25-2013, 06:36 PM

Use KBB or autotrader to see what similar Z's are going for in your area. If your price is in the ball park, be patient -- it wiil sell.

Also, what mods do you have -- they can work against you when trying to sell.

Also, keep in mind, times are (and have been) tough for the average person -- probably fewer folks shopping for sports cars in general at the moment...

shawnski · 10-25-2013, 06:56 PM

before i buy my 2012 month ago i have done a lot of reseach, they are dealers that have same z cars sitting in their dealers for a few months and that is not good news, some over priced and some ok price but not able to move them, i know as a fact i was looking at a cherry red touring 2011 with 16k miles and they dropped the price to 26700 and that car still there!!
demand is not as high in sport cars and specially 2 seater and it could be the area you live too..
i paid 25900 for my 2012 sport pk. excellent conditon with only 19 k..
i think the price you are asking is fair price, don't feel bad i have advertised few motorcycles on craigslist and all i got was bunch of lowballers..

brucelidat · 10-25-2013, 09:08 PM

Considering a new base is 30k, the Carmax offer isn't bad. As for your upgrades, illuminated kickplates and splashguards aren't big nice upgrades. I would consider them more like normal and if you don't have them, you sort of cheaped out (at least for the splash guards). You basically have a base with normal potions. I agree with kenchan that Carmax isn't a bad deal.
