Default My first 350Z!?

Hi guys,

I'm currently looking for a nice new car and found this:

http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-s...ngId=361444459

Is that a good deal?
If not, what would be the price I should ask for?

Are there any issues known for that model/year ?

Thanks a lot for your help,

Chris

Not a deal breaker. But not a horrible deal for you. I'd offer around $13k maybe.

Hi Chris,
From what I can tell from the pics, all is stock, new top, pretty clean. So if it passes your test drive, ask them (dealer) to let YOUR mechanic look at it for 24 hrs.
Meanwhile, use KBB.com and edmunds.com with your zip code for best price.
I love my ZR, even on rainy days.

Well, Good Luck! Let us know what happens. Cheers!

You can do better... My 08 Touring convertible was $14,500 with only 70k miles.
Found it on Craigslist.org
Maybe look on your local CL or eBay... you can find some great deals on there, just don't send full payment until you've seen it in person.

As others have stated, the price is rather high for a Z Roadster with nearly 80,000 miles on it. That is a dealer starting price. I would think that a final sale of 13k would be reasonable (you can do better on another vehicle, but I think that is as low as the dealer will go for this car). Keep looking around and don't lose hope. I had 3 deals fall through before I finally purchased mine and I am glad that they did.

Agreed, I bought the 4th Z I drove.
Never buy the 1st one you drive. Dealers always hate it when you walk out, also...price drops a grand.

Good Morning,

thanks for your opinions.
As you recommended i kept looking and found this:

http://cincinnati.craigslist.org/cto/4376167970.html

But I'm a little concerned about the mileage...
Do you think that is to much?

Thx
Chris

You can do better but its not unreasonable, I would say any dealer is going to come down at least 500$ from there listed price, just call and get that out of the way first.
But you can do better if you look harder, I bought an 07 with 36k miles on it for 13k$ and it is immaculate.
