There's a good chance i'll be picking up the car Sunday.

Not sure what everyone around here is smoking lately but that's a decent deal. That's like $19k before tax, title and licence?

Are you saying that they are giving you 11.7 after your out of door price????

Can you show us how the order is/will be written? with the trade & taxes.

Right now it's very confusing

One more please. Did you pay cash last year for the Toyota?

I just checked Camry value & I was wrong/low on my appraisal(sorry).

That means good news, you are paying less for the Z than you think. They took money from their Z & added it to the trade.

What I don't understand is how others pay $20k+ for a 2009 base model Z.

If 2014 base Z's can be had for under $30k, why would anybody pay real money for an 09????? IT'S ALMOST 5 YEARS OLD!!!!

I also would not buy a Z with after market exhaust. Since most guys add exhaust to their car for the sound. Most of those cars are always accelerated just to hear the sound. 30k of that driving gives the car 80k worth of wear.

Its a awkward position. Does the car continue on a normal path of depreciation or does the new price drastically affect the depreciation, who knows. It's tough to pick a perspective, but at the end of the day i dont think used 370Zs will alter in price too much.

I actually JUST paid off the car within a year of actually purchasing/financing it.

The OTD price is 24k. They are giving me 11.7k. My car is worth 10k MAX to a dealer, so what they did was up the value of my car to bring us to even terms instead of lowering the price of the 370z.

Basically, i'm assuming that the 370z is costing me 22.5k ish. Which i believe is a fair deal considering how much 370z are going for in my area for the past 6 months. Maybe its more expensive/cheaper in other states.

Sorry for the confusion. I understand that i should've made it clear from the beginning. My mind works in weird ways when it comes to money.

The drive to the dealership is 3 hours away so its been tough to haggle on prices over the phone, because of this i'm going to have to wait until Tuesday to do the paperwork and have the most glorious 3 hour drive home in my life.

Thank you for clearing it up. It's nice to see a person that understands their car deal, like REAL trade value & what they are showing you and where that money comes from

Good job & the best of luck.
I'm against buying extended warranties, but in your case the five year powertrain is almost over. Won't give you advice because you seem to know what you're doing, however if you do get one(after negotiating on it

to avoid hassle & pain try to get a Nissan warranty.....

Thanks for the advice! I actually did end up turning down their warranty and I'm still contemplating on getting one from a third party. I'm 19 and I paid this car myself through countless 70 hour work weeks, so i don't really have enough funds to throw money at warranties at this point, but maybe in the future.

Here's the only decent picture that i took, the other ones were blurry. My friend's bike, my other friends slammed Accord, and my new baby! It is still surreal that i actually own a car like this. Can't wait to give her a thorough wash tomorrow and get the insurance paperwork out of the way too.

Its a manual which is about $1500 less then the auto tranny.

That being said, check out a 2011 in my area with 36k (4k more) on it. for $21k
Nissan 2011 370Z 6 Speed Manual

OH yeah, and that CAI looks like an EBAY intake. $100 or so.

Lemon car, or I was about to drive down there right now and buy it.

oh and, car looks beautiful man, love those rims!

did you make sure they gave you the right amount as trade? or did you pay 22 OTD including your trade? because if you did, they stole your trade.
