Okay everyone, this is one last question before I make my decision!

1) 2005 PPW Roadster with white interior with 11,000 miles. I checked it out and everything looks brand new. This guy is a private party and owns 6 cars throughout 2 of his houses so hes some big shot who barely drove it. 9 months of bumper to bumper warranty left

Price $25,000 + title/ registration and dmv private party sales tax

2) 2005 Super Black Roadster with the Burnt Orange/ Black Ventilated Seats interior with 24,000 miles. This is from a dealership and I talked him down to $27,000 OTD which means around $25,000 before taxes. 7 months of bumper to bumper warranty left

Price: $27,000 Out the Door

Personally, If you guys remember me, I've been waiting for over 5 months now to find a good deal on a roadster and now I found two extremely good deals. I personally love the black with burnt orange combo, but the low mileage white on white is SOOOO appealing to me. It just seems like the lower mileage is a better bang for my buck. What should I do fellas? Any suggestions or opinions. As long as the black roadster was taken good care of, I shouldn't have that much to worry about right? Both passed carfax with flying colors. Both are Touring

I would think the White car has the edge objectively. However decisions to buy cars such as the Z are not always based on objective measures.

I have an 05 Silverstone roadster and I really love the Orange ventalated seats. They really look sharp and are very functional (especially out here in that hot Joe-ja sun).

You probably won't go wrong either way....go for the one you like best.

All the best to you..........

Are they both touring or is one of them a grand touring? All things being equal I like the color scheme of the SB with orange seats better than the PPW but you should always go with the one with less mileage.

The PPW no question about it. 11,000 miles and $2k cheaper. Maybe talk down the price to the private owner a little.

Buy both.....LOL J/K.

I say the PPW, just becuase of the low mileage and the price is 2 grand cheeper. Also the Bumber to Bumper warranty is 2 months longer.

If the dealership will throw in a extended warranty then the Super Black would be hard for me to turn down.

Good luck!!

Default Super Black rocks...

I know it takes a little work to keep clean but after a few washes you get addicted. If you can keep it garaged it'll only need to be done once a week and NOTHING looks as good as a clean black car.

Just a heads up, if you are buying from the Nissan Dealer and it is still under the bumper to bumper, they should offer you to extend the bumper to bumper to 100,000 miles and 8 years for $800.

Can't say its a good deal or not, but I got it. Meaning I can go to any Nissan dealership for the next 7 years and have it fixed for free.

But other than that, its hard to pass up the lower mileage for the same price.

Sorry, I didn't mean to. I just found a much better rate so that is why I am waiting a couple of more days. The loan company said that they will DHL it overnight, but when I called in to speak to the customer rep, they said it will have to be on either Monday or Tuesday.

But whatever I do, I promise ill post pics once i get it!
