Help Pricing my Z
 

I'm looking for some guidance in regards to what my 370z may be worth if I put it up for sale here or on ebay. I've been looking at comparable cars, but this situation is a bit unique.

Its a 2009 370z Touring in brilliant silver. 6 speed manual. The odometer just crossed 17,000. I've owned it since February of this year, and I think its a great car. There's very few in the Denver area and it is quite the head turner. I was very close to keeping it, but things have changed for the better financially and its time for an M3. I went back and forth for months, but the M3 has always been my dream car.

Back on topic: About a month after I bought the Z some idiot rear-ended me. His insurance paid for it and the body shop had to replace the rear bumper and a rear taillight. Of course now the issue is the carfax reports an accident. There goes the value. :mad: I have a copy of the invoice from the bod shop etc, but the fact is when people see accident, they move on and I don't blame them.

It is what it is which is why I am hoping for some help from you all in determining a fair value for the car. Im seeing higher milage models for sale for $29k. I'm assuming those have clean car faxes. Is $25k a fair price to expect for it?

Thanks on advance for your help. Nothing but love for the Z and Z drivers-just gotta have that M car.

I think for an 09 Touring with 17k, thats a pretty good price. Have you actually pulled up a Carfax report on your car to see if it was reported? I'm not trying to tell you to be shady but it might give you some peace of mind. I had 3 accidents on my old 350Z and none of them showed up on Carfax. I never told the buyer about it because they never asked, plus they told me the Carfax was clean. But then again it was a dealership. They low balled me on the trade in so I kept my mouth shut ;).

Not sure how the prices are where you live, but around me there is an 2009 Touring/Sport/Nav/6MT W/ 17k miles for 27,995 at a dealer. Also, there is a 2011 Touring/Sport/Nav/6MT W/ 10k miles for 31,000 at another dealer. Maybe prices for these cars are just cheap around me?

Thanks, but unfortunately it is showing up on the carfax. It just read “ACCIDENT!”. Stupid carfax.

Thanks for the info, those appear to be well over the $25k I was considering. Are you saying I’m shooting too high or too low?
