Default 05 Roadster w/ 4000 miles!!!

Ok so some of you may already know that I have been looking for z and I think I found one that is a good deal. It is an 05 Roadster with 4k miles, fully loaded all black with black leather, 6spd, 18" wheels, 6 disc cd. I may go look at it tommorow but it is 120 miles away and I was hoping that everyone concured with me that this is a good deal. He is asking $25.5k but on the phone he said he would take $24k. I may offer him 23k cash and work from there. I forgot to ask if it was a touring or enthusiast. Should it matter which it is? And he also said he was a BROKER. I dont know if that is a good thing or a bad thing. I will be doing a carfax report before I buy.

So after all that do yall think this is a good deal??? Thanks for all the help!!

The KBB on my 04 6mt ZR Touring is 32k retail...

The Roadsters hold their value!!!

That's a great price. I just purchased a 2004.5 Enthusiast Roadster for mid 26K with 11000 miles, and I thought a got a good deal. I would have that car checked by a mechanic, as the saying goes, "You get what you pay for."

Good luck

Also should I take it if he wont budge on the $24k price. What should I do as far as not getting ripped on a cash deal. Make sure he has the title? What if money is still owned on the car, how can I buy it with out him running off with the title. I bought a harley once for cash and it took the a**hole 9 months to send it to me cause he still owed!! Reciept? I am wish I could video tape the deal.

sounds like a GREAT deal to me! i havent seen a used roadster under 27k in any trim. you could always offer him less but you still have a smokin deal...

he may be asking exactly what he owes to get out of the car even. he could probably get quite a bit more but in hurry for some reason. ID do it..

hell maby ill look at THAT one myself..

Its mine!!!! LOL!! He is a broker so I dont quite know what that means if it is good or bad. Anyone know how much a vehicle inspection should cost from nissan? How long it takes? I am a little skeptical about the low price but I guess we will see.

New2350-

Simple as this...run a carfax get the history.
Take it to a Nissan dealership and have them pull the service history.
Ask to see the title before you hand over the cash.

enjoy! I sure do!

broker is fine ...they simply match a buyer and seller (kind of like a dealer w/o the B/S) the broker just get a commision. its fairly common

Broker: a person who acts on behalf of another. Usually in a financial deal such as auto sales. The broker is not the owner.

Drive the car. If you like it - buy it.

BTW drop the Wanna get Vortech S/C, HKS Exhaust, 19" black wheels, intake, full clear bra, crystal gaurd and whatever else I educate myself on. No one cares about gonnaget.
