Used 2009 Base Blue 6M w/ SptPkg
 

How much should I offer for an '09 Base Monterey Blue 370z w/ Sports package with 33,500 miles on it?

Would I be better off buying new?

Thanks

Depending on the condition its probably in the $22-24k range.

If it were me, i would go with a new one. Just for reference, you are looking at around $31k brand new.

Thanks a lot. You've replied to every annoying post I've made :D Car buying is hard work..

haha...unlike most people I actually love negotiating for new things...cars, houses, even appliances!!!

Just happy to help out wherever I can.

Be aware that there has been a HUGE spike in used car prices recently due to a number of factors creating the "perfect storm" for the used car market:
-Recession in '08 caused people to quit leasing cars = much less used cars entering the market today than normal.

-Component supply (plus actual vehicle supply) from Japan disrupted due to tsunami

-People are keeping their cars longer because money is tight.

-Cars last longer.

-New vehicle loans at reasonable rates are only being offered to people with extremely good aggregate credit ratings.

Expect to pay at least 24-25k for that car unless the seller isn't paying attention.
