I'm hoping you guys and gals can help me out with this one. Around how much should I ask for my 05 Chrome Silver Enthusiast, 6MT, with 12,000 miles? If it's any help I am located in Austin. The only reason I'm looking to sell is to buy a house. Any help would be appreciated

Haha.. Probably some honda fits to afford the ridiculous house costs nowadays..

You can probably get no more than 23k for it, unless you have a buyer who REALLY likes the car. Since it's 07 now, the car is 2 years old. I am speaking from my experience with a recent purchase. The mileage is good on the car so good luck with the sell.

TonyToca

yeah only 12k. I travel for work every week so I don't drive it all that much. It's an Enthusiast.

TonyToca

something cheaper. probably a nissan/honda/toyota. I wish I would be able to keep my Z, but I'd rather invest in a home instead.

Mature words right there.. I'd hate to say this, but between 22K to 25K ( highest )... If there's a carmax around where you live, see how much they'll buy it from you for.. They usually give a good price..

TonyToca

yeah, i realized that too. At first I thought I was actually gonna sell it for less than I owed on it, but then found out at least I'll make a little something. I know carmax buys cars, but I still thought there would be a huge difference between selling to them and a private party.

Nope... I was trying to sell my 03 EVO for a while back in 05 and carmax bought it from me for 22K which was good for me.. I was pretty surprised.. You might get a really great price if your car is mint.. especially with your low mileage..

TonyToca

The only thing that's wrong with it are a few tiny scrapes on the side of the bumper cover. I was pulling into my friend's complex and was trying to reach to punch in the gate code and didn't see the 1' tall post there , no dents or anything though, just about 3 scrapes. Other than that it is perfect.

One advantage that you have is color. Silver is the most popular 350Z color.
A disadvantage is timing. Demand for sports cars will increase in the spring with warmer weather.

Its almost coming to that demanding time...... Also, Soldiers travel from Ft. Hood to Austin just to buy cars at a non-rape rate.......... You should be able to sell that faster than you scraped your bumper

While I don't know your economic situation, I wonder if selling the Z is your best option. It's always a hit to sell a used car, much less a used car you love! Depending on your circumstances, how about saving a little longer and rolling your car loan into the home financing? The interest becomes tax deductible and your car gets paid off at the same time!

the carmax i went here in Norcal only offered KKB wholesale fair condition(lowest price) for my 3 month old silver 06 Mazda3 with less than 3000 miles in mint condition last last year. i told them to go suck an egg.

TonyToca

right now i think that makes less financial sense than just selling it. if i keep th Z i'm still shelling out for my monthly payment and would still get the same price now if i sell as in a few months. That just makes no sense to me. Plus, if I do sell it now and get something cheaper, that extra money I'd save can go directly to a mortgage.
