Nismo Purchase

NoLaKrewe · 09-08-2014, 07:20 AM

So, it's slowly getting around the time when I think I may be able to buy my car. I've been watching plenty of cars for the time being and plenty of dealerships across America. I found this car awhile ago, and I wouldn't buy for this price I would try to get it lowered but I have a question.

Cars for Sale: 2013 Nissan 370Z NISMO Coupe in Daphne, AL 36526: Coupe Details - 376597887 - AutoTrader.com

My question is, it sat on a lot for 2 years. Finally sold, the guy/woman put 2k miles then traded it in. Do I have anything to look at before maybe pursuing this?

From the sound of it, me thinks the previous owner babied the car (that low mileage)... or just wasn't all that impressed.

Did the dealer say why it was traded in?

Check under the front lip. The NISMO is notorious for getting minor damage there. Are there scratches? If not, the old owner knew how to handle the car driving wise. They survived driveways, speed bumps, deep potholes, and road ramps. Shows promise they took good care of it.

Dumb observation... Alabama is a hurricane state. No flood damage on it, right?

I've read the way people ride and do things lol SOME may be

OT: as others have said check the exterior lowerbits gives it a great way of how it was handled although even at the low milage it cant have been that bad, it looks very clean

I was missing my 350z I sold when i had around 1500 miles on my new 2013 Nismo, the ride is super bouncy. Some people would be quite annoyed with that. Also the base 370z sounds better exhaust wise. Save your cash and get a base sport pack and throw suspension etc on that.

^very true, buy a base/sport for much less. Save the money and set the suspension up how you like. Imo the Nismo kit is ugly anyway....
