You have to remember that on top of the price of the car, you will have tax, etc. I would never worry about whether to buy a car that I hadn't seen/driven first. Go to the dealer if you're interested in that model/color and go from there. They get tons of calls, so don't expect them to take you serious over the phone. Once you get to the dealership it will be a totally different story.

 

I found another SS 350z performance with 22127 miles on it
got a deal for 25K OTD
is that a good deal? come with 5 years 60K warranty
can any of you give me advise on what to check or ask when I arrive to dealer?
thanks in advance

 

That's not bad for an 05 Touring.

What to look for:

* Tranny. The shifter can be notchy but it should shift smoothly and not grind.
* Check the front tires for uneven wear towards the inner part of the tread. Also listen for road noise to sound significantly louder when slowing down from <25mph.
* Test drive it hard. You'll know if it feels right or not.

thanks for your input I definitly will check those out tomorrow night, and hopefully they will let me have a nice test drive
actually its an 04 Performance with 22k miles on it, so is it still a good deal.
I mean the manager cut the deal I want really quick, made me feel like they really wanna sell that car.
so what do u guys think about this? should I bargin more or this is the best I can get?

 

If you feel good about it and it's near or less than KBB then I would go for it. You'll be very happy with it.

You can try to get them to pay the licensing fees or something. Just say "I can only do $25k OTD and not a cent more. Licensing, tax, all that has to be included in the $25k and $25k has to be the bottom line at the bottom of the page." They'll try to eek out a little more here and there but stand firm and I think they'll budge a little.

 

got a deal through the phone with Glendale Mitsubishi dealership for 25k OTD
for a SS 04 350z either performance or Enthusiast trim
is there any big difference between the two? I noticed no leather seats
and the color I really dig was White or pearl white, but not much whity out there :P
well tonight I am going to test drive and maybe try a yellow Z on the lot too
thanks for all the info you guys gave me
oh, and I won't forget to test drive as hard as I can

 

I don't remember the difference between the Performance And Enthusiast trims. But they got rid of the Performance trim in 05 I think. I believe it had a few more options than the Enth.

Good luck!

 

Drive the car. If you like it offer $24,800.

 

I just wanted to see if I was wasting my time replying to this thread.
