That price is high for a non-GT Roadster. I was just looking at triple black 07/08 ZRs myself, and most of the GTs were in the $22-24k range and had nav. Are you sure it's a Touring and not an Enthusiast? Auto or 6MT? Nav? Ventilated front seats?

Edmunds TMV says that the Touring, 6MT without any of the above options and without the cert is worth $22.9k from a dealer, but I'd try to get close to the private party value of $21.4k plus tax and tags.

You want them to drop $1400 which they'd do in a heartbeat. If you really want a good deal, start at a price that makes them laugh, then negotiate. Trade-in value is $19.2k, so I'd start by adding $500 to that and negotiate. I have a lot of experience with dealerships, especially Nissan, so I come correct with them when I'm in the market to buy.

Oh, and if you are interested in an 04' silver roadster, PM me.

Yeah I've been looking at zr's for about a year, its a touring every option excepth the brembo which is on the gt.. retail book is about 25k with the mileage... i cant find any 07-08 touring roadsters on autotrader/cars.com triple black with this low mileage for less than 24k but I agree 21000 sounds great...

Thanks for the advice

from my understanding yes the vented were burnt orange and black vented only, and the black leather is perforated.. and the touring up came with the bose and heated seats, I was corrected about the homelink though guess that was in the enthusiast also.

FYI- I've got an '07 and effed up my interior door handle covers pretty quickly. About 6 months ago I took it to the dealer I bought it from and they replaced them free of charge. Said it was pretty common and was coverd under warranty.

I had the same problem with the door handles on an 06' took the handles off scraped and sanded the garbage off. made sure they were smooth and spray painted with interior trim black. they look great cost $10.

Can't come up with a way to do the cubby door yet.

get on a plane and go see the car lazy.

why would you even consider buying a car you've not personally inspected?
at least have a trusted friend look at it.
