Need advice for buying 370z

valheru · 02-02-2011, 11:31 PM

Hi, I just registered, I would like to know some info. I'm looking at 2009 370z automatic, it has 54k miles, In-Service Date: 05/14/2009. On website I'm buying it states that 3 tires have curb rash, front bumper cover and LF fender previously repaired. I haven't pulled any carfax on it or anything, and I cant personaly inspect it since its in another state, being sold through auction soonish. Was wondering if you guys would advise me if i should buy it, and if so what do you think should be my max limit to bid.

PS if not I will probably have to go back to looking at 350z, but I though since high miles I could get it for cheaper.

pps. fogot to add which one it is, but it doesn't state that thus ill drop what it includes so you guys can tell me

54k miles with all the other extra not so good mods. Good God. Agree with the $5.

54k already?! 20k max for

valheru · 02-02-2011, 11:45 PM

well I was in the market for 350z but I saw this one and I though maybe the guy who owned it just drove it on highways to get that high of miles and thus wouldn't be that bad if it was taken care of.

Even if he claimed to only drive it on highways, he could be lying. 54k in two years is high, high mileage. It's 27k a year, just about twice the norm.

Avoid previously crashed (despite now repaired) cars.

Take my daily driver, for example. I drove it to work (33 mi each way), to school 3 days a week (20 mi each way), and on a couple of long road trips. I also drove it locally most weekends. In my first year of ownership, I drove 23k miles. That's above average.

by that logic it should be less, allot of us DD the our 370Z....but 54k is way to much

valheru · 02-03-2011, 12:25 AM

guess I'll let it go and see how much it sells for, theres another one that has 14k on it, but its black, and I don't want a black one. So I'll just wait for next auction date of new-used ones
