I DD a 2005 S2000 and I am ready for something newer (and with more torque).
I want an 07+ enthusiast+ ~40K miles 6 spd. I have been doing a lot of research on pricing and think that 17K is reasonable/fair. I can afford more but do not feel comfortable spending 20K on any car.

Do you guys think 17K is a reasonable price? all the listings here in San Diego are higher.

there is a 07 enthusiast silver 32K 6 spd for 19K in my area. I will try to talk them down to my price.




Z credentials: I drive/mod a 71 240z

 

Yes it's a reasonable price, just keep looking around.

 

Over the last couple months ive seen at least 3 around that price. 08s actually.

 

good luck with your search, pics of 240z???

 

Yes 17K is a reasonable price.

 

here are two pics of my 71. the person with the Z im looking at is being flaky but i have an appointment to meet up with this saturday to look at the car.

Financed I got my track 06 Interlagos 51zzz on body 33zzz on engine for 16,900. After warranty and interest its like 20.

 

I bought my base solar orange 1.5 years ago for 16k with 41,000 miles. I'd imagine now you should be able to get an enthusiast for that or less.

 

I looked at the car today. Original owner, a lady in 40s. It has the factory aero package with rear lip spoiler and front spoiler that I did not notice.
She said 2 years ago someone backed into the front and the dealer replaced the bumper one headlight and radiator. No salvage. Interior had some small scratches on handles and stuff. Small curbing on 3 of the rims.

The stock shifter kinda put me off. I'm spoiled in the S. will a nismo **** help with the notchy feel? I'm still thinking 17k but I think she owes more.

 

Awesome Datsun! I can't wait to have enough room to restore a 240/260Z

Sucks you don't live on the east coast, I'd take the S2000 off your hands + some cash for my turn key Z.

 

The seller agreed to 17k. I think ill do this. Any last opinions/ suggestions on the price?

 

+/- $1k... Either way... will you be happy with the 17k you spend? In the end, it's all about if you can live w/ what you paid and afford to do so w/out putting yourself in too much financial burden. You can spend months to try and find that "perfect deal", but you are just putting off having a Z farther down the road. To me, $17k seems pretty reasonable for the year / mileage. Could you find one for $16k if you waited / searched long enough? Quite possibly.

 

You are right, I could wait and save 1k but I'm ready for the Z now. I'm doing. I'll post pics hopefully this weekend of my newish car.
