Advice needed looking to buy a 40th Anniv. Ed.

Colbizle · 04-11-2011, 02:14 PM

So after much research I'm pretty much dead set on getting a 370z 40th Anniversary edition. I just really love the gun metal and the red interior. There was one available from a local dealer just last month that I saw in person, but it appears they have sold that now. Which is a shame because it was well priced around 32xxx.

So it looks like my next options would be to either find a dealer out of state or purchase it from a private seller out of state. I'm sure if I get it from a private party I could snag one for a bit lower then from a dealer.

What would you recommend?

Am I going to be paying a boat load for shipping?

Has anyone had any experience with purchasing out of state and have a car shipped to their door?

Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thank you

If you are purchasing out of state. Just make sure you get all the numbers. Make sure there aren't any hidden fees down the road. Get all the pictures you can. Exterior, interior, miles, ect. Multiple angles. Shipping can get expensive if you go enclosed(race trailer) for the extra 400 I think it's worth knowing it's a little more safe. (dings,scratches,paint chips.)

If you find a good dealer, it's pretty painless.

That's pretty good. What do you think I could snag a used one for? Say 6k-10k miles? Think I could get near 29-30?

The 40th is pretty much a Touring + Sport + a little more. So i'd prolly look for Touring + Sport Z prices to get a rough estimate. I'm kinda on the same boat as I want a 40th used as well, but I've only seen some around me going for 33k. Guessing I could prolly talk it down to 31-32 b4 tax but I havn't really looked too hard into it.

I'm looking for a used 40th. That should get the pricing near 30. If i'm super lucky 31 OTD. Can only hope...

I doubt you can get used for 31 OTD. You can prolly get 30k-31k OTD IF the 40th was a 2009 model. I'd say wait a year if $ is an issue.

Ya you are probably right. I have seen more then a couple listed for 31k but OTD would be at least another 2k. Money is not really the issue. I just would not like to spend that much if I can help it. Trying to stay tight if I can.
