Can you afford it? Insurance, maintenance, repairs, etc, etc, etc. Only you know the answer. If you're asking for the value of your car in your area... kbb.com or any car website can give you that info. Prices will vary depending on the history of the car. What is one person's garbage can be another's treasure.

i think you can find a lower mileage one, take your time and look. 3 years ago (dang the depreciate fast) i paid 23k for mine with 35k miles. me personally i would pay more for something that might last longer before i have to dump money into it

Daaaamn!!!!! I got mine for 20,000 with 13,380 miles in August 2012.


I would definitely get a lower mile z. Under 60,000 miles at most IMO

Veronica, as bad boyz says, take your time as the car you're looking at might be a money pit. Even though the DE engine was designed to cover 200,000 miles as long as regular maintenance was performed, you have the wear and tear of the ancillaries to consider. It might not be a money pit, but parts for these aren't cheap and unless you know someone in the trade you'll get stung for labor as well. Have you read the top 100 questions at the head of the forum? Some of won't apply but a lot of it will. This is your dream car, don't rush into it as it could quickly turn into your worst nightmare.
