Newb here, pricing question for a used Z

Redglare · 05-27-2012, 05:27 PM

Greetings everyone,

Avid Z enthusiast on here, I just recently sold my s2000 and now borrowing a scion until I find the perfect 370z.

Here is the dilemma - I am looking for a base manual with the sport package, I've expanded my search within 500 miles and it seems like every dealer set the price even for used vehicles way too high.

I can get a brand new left over 12/11 with base sport for 33,700 http://www.edmunds.com/nissan/370z/2...tyle=101413100

I am seeing 09/10's under 30k miles with sport packages priced in the low 30's and it seems like I can't get anyone to lower the price anywhere below 30k, I understand that the 370 has an outstanding resale value but I can't comprehend how they are selling these cars for those prices with high mileage when a brand new one is 2-3k away.

My question stands, am I dreaming of finding a base/sport/manual 09/10 with under 30k miles for 27-28k?

Interesting trend: most of the used Z's I've ran across are sold by ford dealerships.

keep searching. Eventually the right Z will pop up at the right price. I don't think you're being unreasonable at all.

I have a 2011 Magnetic Black on Black Sport Package car with 1130 miles on the odometer. If I was selling I would want 32600 for the car. That price is based on what I have in the car to date. That would include a transferable 5 yr 75,000 mile Gold Preferred factory warranty.

The wife thinks I should sell it because i very rarely drive it. But I not sure that I am in agreement with her on this matter.

Mine is also selling in that range if you're interested.

You also need to factor in the fact that most dealers (when buying new cars) include all those fees that usually add an additional 1K or more.
