Talking Looking To Buy a 350z ASAP..Check These??

I've looked at several 350z's in my area, South Jersey, and I came across these two which peaked my interest...are either of these good deals? Which would you choose...or should I just keep looking?


03' White z 73k Asking 13.7k (Sold By Owner)
http://delaware.craigslist.org/cto/2714951310.html

03' Blue z 60.6k Asking 12k (Sold By Dealer)
http://southjersey.craigslist.org/ctd/2695672122.html

Any help would be much appreciated...I've wanted a 350z for the past 4 years and am definitely getting one..just don't want to be jerked around and overpay

Welcome.

You picked a smart time to shop for a 350Z. First snow fall in New Jersey and demand will drop. 60,600 miles is OK. Offer $11,400.

Prices will vary by the area of the country.In this area,12-13k for a 03 is a bit high.
However,people are buying at that price due to few cars on the market and alot more buyers.The cars you show,one (blue)is basically stock.The other,has a few mods.
There is someextra value in the white car.The Nismo catback,rims(what kind?).
You like blue or,white?
I'd probably gp with the white if the car is mechanically sound.
Offer the guy 12.5K.Maybe sttle on 13k.

I do like the white...I emailed him for info on some things inc. the rims...but hopefully its not sold yet...I'll start neg. a little lower cash in hand does wonders...especially 10k ...probably get it for around 11.5k
-Thanks

Sigh. Where to begin with this.

First of all, it doesn't snow in New Jersey. Second, all of the forecasts show demand for the 350z has actually begun to increase. Im not sure where you got that price but it is way too low and clearly will insult the dealer.

Be careful about listening to davidv's advice.

actually you can ask even more off a list price a dealership marks on a car. just my 2 cents.

OP, is there a budget you're following? if not then you should lean towards the HR version of z's. Its a HUGE difference

It snows in NJ...I dont think it'll insult a dealer its just a place to start for negotiation...if he thinks he can make a sale he'll come down from his price besides probably got it dirt cheap anyways.

the 06-08 and from what i thought when i was looking for my own hr was that its a long term investment so i might as well get the better newer model and deal with the higher price since in the end it'll be worth it ^^

Did you offer $11,400 as I recommended?
Did the seller accept your offer?

11,700 which was still a great deal imo. My Insurance ~$1800 a year but that's to be expected with a sports car and being under 25.
