Used 40th Anniversary 370 question

Carno · 09-07-2010, 08:09 PM

People get rid of new cars for all kinds of reasons. I got my Z with 2500 miles on it, because the old guy who ordered it new couldn't get in and out of it without hurting his back. He traded it in for a Honda CRV, of all things.

It's relatively easy to find a place that can install a nice aftermarket nav system. Don't let that hold you back!

Hence why I said that the sale of this relatively new car could mean anything. Better to be a little skeptical and cover your bases than to empirically trust everything that comes your way.

The dealer said the guy had a "lifestyle" change. I'm guessing marriage or a kid? Who knows. I got the VIN number. Is carfax the best way to check a Vin?

My 06Z is paid off which is nice. I really want to see what I can get from Fontuna when the '11s come out but if this car is clean and I get a good price I may jump.

This car is in SD, so if anyone here was the owner then pm me.

Lifestyle change?

haha j/k

Yes definitely check the Carfax.. The dealer should be providing that to you free of charge, if not ask them to.

Carfax is a good way to go. Most repair shops will report any work they do. The only way it would get fixed after an accident without a carfax report is if the guy had someone on the 'inside' who did him a favor. If you're really worried, you can always ask to have a 3rd party shop put it on a lift and look it over before buying.

Was the 40th you were looking at at the Mossy dealer in National City?

TongMan · 09-29-2010, 07:23 PM

Not a bad price. Get it if you are happy with it.

No, it sold before I could make a decision. love the 40th...but cant do without the nav system. New 40ths are being given away now, so Im really glad I missed that one. Yes, it was in National City.
