That's not a real offer.

Consider

I will give you $12,000 for the car now.

then pull a roll of hundreds out of your pocket. Money talks. BS walks.
Agreed. There are many Zs available for a $12k budget.

Ha! I'm actually shopping around for a Z and it's definitely possible. You could get a Z for $10,000 even. It's all about if the previous owner maintained it well, didn't drive like an asshat and has all/most of the service records.

A car with high miles usually never means it's a junker.

If you have connections you can go to car auctions and pick up an 05 for $13,000+ with decent miles aka way below MSRP (I'm currently going to auctions looking at 350Z's and G35 coupes)

people are desperate. Now is the time to get sweet deals!!

i was told not to buy cars from auctions because they sell cars with salvage/flood/rebuilt titles.

Yeah, I wouldn't buy anything from an auction...a lot of rentals come through there. Well, a Z wouldn't be a rental, but still. You don't really know the history like you would with a private buyer.

But yeah, OP, it's looking good for you. You'll find one, especially with forum owners willing to sell. That '03 track with mods and 63K sounds real good.

Well they tell you exactly what's wrong with it if they don't you can deny the title and get your money back (assuming you buy green lighted cars) red light cars are cars with over 100k miles and you buy as is.

Still, if you got connections and most likely that person works at a dealer you can't go wrong. Just shop smart!

I've seem some e46 BMW M3's go for about $16,000 with clean records and problem free.

its called craigslist.. you'll find plenty in that range.. most likely higher mileage but yeah. heck the other day i saw a 05 base Z sell for $13k..


i bought my 05 350z base model, w/8k miles for $21k 2 years ago..and i thought i had a deal.. but yeah..


Quick Reply: is it POSSIBLE to buy a 350z with $12000?
