2009 370z fair price??

jam3v · 06-05-2011, 03:48 PM

2009 6mt Sport package w/ 1129 miles.

They're asking $30k which is obviously too high but what's a fair price for this?

I probably wouldn't pay much more than 26k, but I would say that getting it for 27k or less wouldn't be too bad of a deal.

^^^

way to deal!

26k is a killer price for a sportscar of the 370z caliber!

also keep searching

Thanks NCSUPACK09.

It's really hard to walk into these dealerships and tell them you want the car for $3k under what it's listed for. But I guess I need to keep looking until I find a reasonable dealer.

Well if you have money in hand your more than likely get them to buckle to 26k

the market isn't really favorable for the Z to be honest. 2 seater, hardly room in trunk. There are many more cars that the avg consumer would consider over the Z. Just shop around. I can guarantee you that the prices listed on KBB is far more than what most educated Z buyers paid for.

I've found some 2009 used 370Z (Touring + Sport + Navi) at some dealers near me and they listed them for like $28-29k with about 20k miles on them. And those are the internet listed pricing aka pre-bargained. I'm sure if I really tried, I could prolly get them to go down to 27-28k.

I think a lot of the problems is the misconception of the Z's various trims. A lot of dealers are dumb and listing used 2009 370Z Base models for like $30-31k, which I am assuming they "think" that they are selling a better equipped model or they can play uneducated buyers thinking they getting the only Z trim available / top of the line trim.

I paid roughly 28k for a used 2009 6mt sport with about the same mileage a year ago. I'd say 26k is about right.

The sales guy tried to run my ear about how the KBB on this is between $34-36k, but that they're discounting it at $30,900. *rolls eyes*

I called in and made an offer of $26.5k. He's going to check with his manager. It is certified pre-owned, so it has the 100,000 mile warranty.

He said the previous owner put an aftermarket exhaust on the car. That should also affect the cost of the car, right? (in my favor)

hell yeah, use EVERYTHING you have to your advantage when dealing. These guys aren't just going to sit there and take whatever you say. They do this for a living and they are masters at BSing people. I actually love dealing with salespeople because I love the challenge of getting the better end of the deal.

Anyways, to get back to your post, I would tell them that I prefer my 370z all stock, but I would be willing to buy it with the aftermarket exhaust if the price was right

25k. Not many people are in the mood for a 2-seater or can afford cars like the Z these days. Let it collect dust on their lot if they won't give you what you want because contrary to what they will tell you, it will just sit there.
