Considering a Nismo!!
Hello everyone!! im currently still in the market for a 370z and i recently found a 2012 Nismo with 18K miles, only thing is its about 3 hours from where i live but the dealership offered to bring it to town for me. Asking price is $32K (34 OTD) and i was offered $9K for my car, only problem is they want $500 down payment in order for them to bring it from the other dealership
What do you guys think of the price? also i know that this question will receive a lot of hate since it's been asked several times, but i'm also looking at a 2010 sports touring.. cheaper of course, not sure what to go for! any help would be appreciated EDIT: $500 is non-refundable. Kinda worried that the car might have some issues that the dealership isn't telling me about Last edited by nhbpcivicsi; 11-11-2013 at 02:53 PM. |

Why not just drive down there to check it out? Its only 3 hours. When I bought my Nismo, I had to drive 550 miles to go get it (El Paso to San Antonio)... 500 bucks is an expensive risk.

true... 3hrs isn't that long of a drive. take some painter's tape with you so do you can tape up the front of the car and side mirrors for your drive back after purchase.

Also on Nismo vs Sports touring, if you really like the exclusive look of the Nismo then go for the Nismo. Otherwise, sports touring might be a good choice for you. I am trying not to be biased and I hope I didn't start something here...

I agree with the other guys by driving to check it out. I would even ask them if you drive to come and check it out instead of them bringing it to you, if they would take another $500 off the price since you are coming to them. Never hurts to ask..

i would prefer to go see it myself, but.. full time student in the morning, and working every night of the week (even weekends)
i also already dealt with my local dealer and im not sure how the whole trade-in thing would work out if i end up going down there myself.. I think the Nismo would be more suitable for me because it already has all the mods that i wanted to do to the sport touring, except maybe a bit lower |

I think the price is decent. I paid $32k for my 2012 Nismo about 6 months ago with 10k miles on the clock. That was the OTD price since it was a private party sale. I'd say go for it if a Nismo is what you want.

I understand your busy and all ( wasn't that long ago I was in school) but personally I would wait until I could make the drive. Take a day off of work or skip your morning classes or see if a friend who knows cars can take a look. No would would I chance $500. Like you said, what if there is a problem with the car they haven't mentioned because to them it isn't important. Now you are out $500. Doesn't make sense why they would do that, but if that's their position I wouldn't chance it.
The other problem I see, and this is just me, but I wouldn't want someone else driving my brand new sports car 3hrs to transport it. Who knows how they will drive it or how much "fun" they will have in it. If I was paying $500 for transport of the car I would want it trucked and insured against loading/unloading damage and rock chips. An enclosed trailer would be best. Just my 2 cents but I'm rather particular about my cars. |

The thing that comforts me when I think of any possible issues with the car is the fact that the car has full warranty and is fully covered, so even if there is anything wrong it will be fixed! not that I want it to have any problems or anything.. |

70 yr old guy that used to drag race and no lift shifts?
Dealership "assurance"...since when that means anything? So answer this....say you camp out at the meeting location and you discover the driver is a 30 yr old. Will you still buy the car? If you say yes to them driving the car, then you must mentally prepared for this possibility. |
