Default Good Deal or Not?

2006, 350z, 6mt, PPW Base, 28k miles. In nice shape.

$15k + tax, doc, title = $16,800

Opinions please.

Sounds pretty good. KBBd around $20K. You sure you want the base model though? It's got nada on it.

Yea, I know - but the price and more important color are right

Besides I figure $1000 on a VLSD and maybe homelink and that is all I really need. Cruise is just a luxury I would have to live without.

Not bad, but I'd wait a little longer and ****** up one with VLSD and brembo's. If you're looking for performance anyhow. Then you can sell the VLSD and brembos if you want.

Must not be a good deal or you would have bought it. No one spends money because some stranger on the internet tells them its OK.

I talked them into it, convinced them I wanted my mechanic to look at it and also looking at buying a 2nd car from them for the wife.

Now back to being a good deal or not...lol.

. . .? so wait you didn't get the car because of the fear of oil consumption problems? i thought that you had until 60k miles to have the problem fix and when it is fixed no worries... plus you would be getting an engine replacement
