Default MY BEST BET IS?

Sup everyone,
I need an open voice from who ever wants to help me out. I'm willing to finance any 350z before the year ends.The obsacale that over comes my path is as follows..

-Don't know if I should go to the dealership and get a new z and negotiate a price.
-Go with carmax and get a used one
-Head to a "buy here pay here" small dealership (<<< shady)

Let me know what mission you guys/girls part took in to obtain your Z

I've looked at the carmax Z's and they seem legit. In stock, the have a small handful of 2007/2008 350z's one of them being an 08 nismo that has my full attension, but it's expensive for a used car 10k miles for 31k. They have a blue one with 20k miles for 21k /07, an 07/ 13k miles for 23k, and an 08/ with 11k miles for 22k

My other option would be to go with th dealership and see what they have to offer.

I KNOW IT'S A LOT BUT PLEASE BARE WITH ME. HELP ME OUT HERE.
I have 3k for a down payments and good credit.It's not a lot, i'm not rich, but i want the car. I'm working my butt off, making good money, so i'm fiancially stable.I'm tired of having piece of crap cars so it's time for a change. I've read a lot about the VQ35 and it's a strong reliable engine, whicn is def. what i'm looking for.


thankx much

Choosing a seller depends on who you trust most. Keep in mind that a large dealer wants your business for life. Buy the Z there. Get it serviced there. Buy your next vehicle the same place. The object is to keep you coming back.

One advantage of carmax is inventory. Carmax will ship from regional locations. Sometimes free. Sometimes for a fee.

Mom and pop lots generally sell cars rejected by major dealers. Either age, miles or pervious damage.

Happy shopping.

^^^^ well said,

another option is buying from a private seller, you usually can get a better deal, maybe some aftermarket parts thrown in for cheap.

Look around on cars.com, autotrader.com and in the marketplace here.

Happy hunting

Given it is end of year and the 09 Zs will be new, I'd go buy from a dealer & push like heck on price. Sounds like you have earned a new car.
