FIRST post ...NEED some advice. found a 2005 ultra yellow 350z touring that was advertised as a 35th ann. ed. the dealer that sold the lady the car told her only the 35th ones were yellow. I did my research and found out its a touring model with a $3300 difference in value. i was happy to pay 15700 for a 35th but now I think its over priced. 75500 miles with 26 months left on an extended dealer warranty and body/interior is awesome. I live in the sticks and there's not another 350 for sale in 500 miles of me. So am I over paying?

thanks
not a dealer , a young lady that the previous dealer lied to, but an interesting fact is on my car
fax it says touring model, she used a different VIN search company and it lists it as 35th anniversary model so go figure.

You really have to search hard and sometimes luck has to do with it. My first car a 1995 Toyota Camry with 120k miles and I paid $300 for it lol. The timing belt broke and it shut off on the guy so he thought it would cost over a grand to replace the valves engine etc. but my mechanic looked at it and said it was just the timing belt so it would be an easy fix at just 100 bucks. Car ran like a champ for years until some drunk lady ran into me and totaled it. Best 400 bucks I ever spent in my life.

Well after owning a few Z32's I picked up a 2008 , 6mt with 33,900 on it for $16,900 before tax and title. Was on the lot for 21k. Couldnt pass it up. Picked up a 4 year 48000 mile warranty with it too. Not to, only down side was those god awful wheels lol. Did come with a double din touch screen and some tint. Already got those wheels off and that suspension out. Great car.

That's a factor no doubt, but that means they'd making around a 40% profit had the car sold for kbb retail price of $20k. This is assuming they sold it at cost, which would be 0 profit for them.
Either that or the previous owner got royally screwed on the trade-in.

Also I don't see mention of the trim level, or a clean carfax.

Purchased a Automatic 2007 Enthusiast this past thursday at a dealership with 49k miles for 14,052 after taxes and down payment. I didn't intend on getting a Auto. But I couldn't find a manual with this low mileage. Two previous owners drove less than 8,000 miles a year. I think I got a pretty good deal.
