How do you explain this....

ZeeBabar · 08-20-2014, 09:57 PM

The link below is for a 2012 370z with under 5k miles. How can that be possible? How can the car find itself in a Dodge dealership?

Is there anything fishy?

People trade stuff all the time. My first Z was from a Ford dealer. The PO traded it for a 5.0 Stang.

ZeeBabar · 08-20-2014, 10:07 PM

But a 2+ year old car with less than 5000 miles? Why would anyone trade it. Even if they did, why is it not been resold and resold? I will see if I can check a car fax.

I bought my 2012 Nismo from a Ford Dealer with 19,000 miles. Previous OP also bought a Mustang...LOL

aszyd · 08-20-2014, 10:56 PM

It's hard to say. Zs have never been hot sellers due to everything that makes them a Z. Perhaps it was bought as a second vehicle, driven very little over it's ownership, then traded / sold when the owner realized that it was not worth the expense or decided to upgrade to a new Viper, or something.

ZeroZeta · 08-20-2014, 11:12 PM

Hey ZeeBabar. It is possible. My Z is over a year old and I have around 2k on the odometer.

Its about how an owner uses their Z. Obviously mine is not a DD and only a weekend car. Plus being in Illinois it sits in the garage about 4 months out of the year while I wait for an end to the freezing temps.

I were to trade mine in now I would expect potential buyers to have the same response.
Give it a shot and take a look at that Z. It might be legit.

kenchan · 08-20-2014, 11:28 PM

doesnt necessarily mean that the car was traded in at that dealer. dealer can buy used cars from auctions and other dealerships, etc.

Hotrodz · 08-20-2014, 11:33 PM

Yup, I bought my 2010 in June of 2012 with just at 11k. Some people think they want a two seater and when they realize it's not the best riding, it's noisy and the visibility is not great, they get rid of them fairly quickly. Good luck!

I bought my 2012 370Z roadster at a Honda dealership in January. it had less than 7,000 miles on it. The previous owner traded it on an Accord. I got a great deal.

Super Werty · 08-21-2014, 12:22 AM

something tells me youve never been to a dealership before. They've got all sorts of other brands traded in daily...including nicer used cars than they sell new

Rusty · 08-21-2014, 12:31 AM

My Nismo. The first owner bought it new in 4/11 in WV. Then traded it in on a 4x4 in 11/11 with 8,000 miles on it in Pa. The reason he trade it in is because he couldn't drive it in the snow. Then I bought it in 12/11.

Limeybastard · 08-21-2014, 01:01 AM

To OP, mine was traded in at 1500 miles to dealer also which I bought from.

Benibiker · 08-21-2014, 01:29 AM

People do crazy things, I know... I traded in a 2011 Lexus IS 250 after owning it a month and only 650 miles. To make it even stranger I traded it for the very Mini I had traded in on it. I paid what they gave me on the Mini and only lost $2k on the IS. Couldn't stand the Lexus. Hey, it was like a month long rental

ZeeBabar · 08-21-2014, 07:22 AM

I can understand trading in a low mileage car but this nod is 2012. So, if someone used it and traded it in, why has it not been re-sold. It's not the low mileage alone, it's the low mileage for a 2112. I have not seen any other 2012 car with that low mileage. Yes, 2013 but even there, they had more miles.

Datsun240Z71 · 08-21-2014, 07:25 AM

My 2011 was 2 years old with 6k miles. Bought new at the same dealer I got it from where it was traded for different color at 6k oil change by previous owner. Her loss, my gain!
