I recently saw a black 35th Anniversary for sale, it is advertised as new (it hasn't been titled) yet it has 700+ miles. They told me the sticker price is $40,000 with room for negotiation. What does everyone think would be a fair price for me to offer? on Carmax I can get a new 06 touring for around 31,000 and if I would have to pay significantly more for the 05 I don't think it would be worth it.

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Just get an 06. There are minor changes to the 06 that are nice. different grill, upsized rotors on non track model, led tail lights.

 

go to kbb.com and look up the price, then use that as a basis for negotiating. that what i did last september, got an 05 touring with 5k for 24.

 

is there a black 35th anniversery i thought there were only yellow and ss

 

$40,000 is absurd. Check the MSRP yourself.

 

a touring coupe for 24k? hell if i even saw that now a year later I would buy one, I am seeing a lot of high priced used ones, making the new one from carmax at just below invoice look very appealing.

 

depreciation is very high for the 350z in the first year.....about $9k so if the car was $33k new then $24k is reasonable.

 

I bought my balck 35th last August. MSRP was 39,740. It has every possible option and I got it for just about 35,000 and that was almost a year ago so no way on 40,000. You should be able to do even better than I did at this point.

That said, I know there very little difference between the 05 35th and an 06 GT but theres something cool about having the 35th. I especially love the two tone leather seats. No one else can get those...I really don't think they will appreciate at any different level than a non 35th but its fun to tell people that it is the 35th anniversary edition. Now if we could only get that nice interior plaque that they got in Canada.

 

maybe I am just in a bad area, the lowest price i am seeing for used 2005 touring Zs is like 28-29k. Once I factor in the interest rate increase for a used car its virtually no different than the new one at 31k.

 

+1

I was looking to go used as well but it doesnt make sense. I am currently buying a new 06 touring for $30800

 

I live in CA.......they can ask for 28-29k all day but that does not mean you are going to pay that much. There is a reason the car is still for sale....

 

I was looking at a 35th anniversary a couple of months back; in fact I almost bought it. MSRP was $41k. They begged me to take it at $8k off. They could have gone lower if I was willing to sign the papers then and there.

 

if its a new 35th....you so can get an awesome price if you know how to bargain. That dealer must be hurting to get rid of that car. However, someone out to be dumb enough to buy it for 40k. I wouldn't over a dime over 32k.

 

Then buy a new 350Z.

 

I think you are absolutely correct.

I assume those are asking prices, not selling prices?

Listed ask prices tell you nothing about what things actually sell for.

Don't buy it for more than 32k OTD...try to negotiate...mine was 29k (w/o tax, lic, etc) back in January. Yes, they're hurting to get rid of the 05s so negrotiate!

 

A 35th anniversary will soon be 2 model years old once the 07 comes out... 40k is REALLY high especially at this point in the game...like someone said before, some places are offering 8k off the anniversary cars...I'm in so cal and Tustin Nissan was gonna give 8.5k off but it was yellow...not a huge fan...I'm pretty sure you can work this thing down to about 34k OTD with TTL...good luck with the purchase...you won't be disappointed either way!
