Default Good deal? Buying car tomorrow.

I might be buying a Black 2009 370z Base 6 speed manual tomorrow.

We settled at 24k OTD. It has 32, XXX miles. Here's the link. It has a CAI and possible an exhaust, i'm going to see the car in person today to verify.

What do you guys think? Fair, a little high, little low. Any input is appreciated!

It looks a little high for a base 09 , I think you can get a sports for that price and more or less miles ...?

Price is a bit high.

It looks like it's got an aftermarket sport spoiler ($120). Exhaust (400-600). Window tint + visor.($150) Illuminated Door Sills ($140)

Keyless Start? Viper? - Or did they just mean keyless entry/push button?

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.

It's a base model, so I'd pass on it. At the very least you should go for a base with the sport package, you wont regret it.

I'd walk away. For that kind of money get a stock one with the sport package.

I traded my 09 a couple weeks ago, dealer turned around and listed it for 23,900. It was a base sport manual w/ 39k miles. If you could get the car youre talking about for more like 23 OTD thats ok. It also depends on how much of that OTD price is from the taxable amount. OTD with a trade is different from OTD without.

Also look at these to help you compare..

Used car and truck inventory for sale in Minnesota - Wayzata Nissan is the largest used car dealership located near Minneapolis, Twin Cities and St Paul MN.


There were better deals a month or two ago, their stock has thinned some,
but still a few good ones.

Thanks for all the advice guys, its really beneficial, i really appreciate it.

I went today to see the car in person (3 hour drive!) and the car felt awesome on the road, definitely a step up from my 2009 Camry! My two friends and I looked at everything, we inspected the car as if it was worth a million dollars. Glad i brought them along.

The bad: Glued on LED strips on headlights. 3M taped spoiler (i'll drill it). Some minor scratches (plan to get the whole car wet sanded/buffed the day after buying the car). Cheap CAI (i would replace immediately).

The good: Invidia Gemini catback. Sport spoiler. Flawless interior.

Apparently 24k OTD is the best he could do. I'll wait tomorrow and see if he will budge and call me. If not i'll call in a couple days and tell them that 22.5k OTD is my final number.

I've been looking for a black 370z 6speed for under 25k for 5 months now. And this has been one of the two that has actually met that criteria. I check Autotrader, Cars.com, and Cargurus on a daily basis for anything new. You guys seemed to have gotten awesome deals compared to what has been listed here in South Florida.

Thanks again guys, i'll have updates.

Its the standard, push to start. I didn't know the illuminated door sills were an option, i thought they were standard, it's a pretty cool feature.

If that deal was within 500 miles of me i would be all over it.

How come i can't find these deals in florida!? I've been looking for months now, and i can't seem to find any 370z in black for under 25k. I was hoping to get a base/sport but at this point i would even take a base.

One way flights are pretty inexpensive. Especially if it is a $1500 difference for a car that is specific to want you want.
