neither get a 2006 or 2005. My neighbour just picked up a 2006 with 115k
for $5600. Clean title . Value sucks on these cars get an older one and save some money..

 

the 08 is overpriced. i would talk the 08 model down to around $16k... i say that because i will never own another auto sports car.

 

There's an 08 nismo near me with 80k and they're asking 20k. Personally, I would just add another 3k and get a 370z with roughly the same mileage.

 

Theres an 08 nismo here on the forum with 37k miles and he's only asking $21k. I would jump on that.

 

Neither also. Get a manual

 

base cause its manual but for 18G i can definitely find a better deal

 

Decide what transmission you want 1st.

Next, decide on package/trim of interest. If you don't know what each comes with, you need to do more research. You about to dump a supposed "20g", if I were you I'd be more curious.

Next, determine mileage is suitable as higher mileage = more maintenance work needed.

Now decide on modifications that were done, and if you want a clean cut stock car or one already modded. Just because one is already modded doesn't mean they got the mods you want.

If it was for me, I'd get neither. Already got a Z with Touring + Navi + 6MT. And if I could do it again, I'd get me an unmodded NISMO.

 

I'd agree to pick up an 05 or 06 for the cost savings, but if I had to pick solely between the 2 you showed, I'd pick the base model 6mt every time.

Plus...a 2006 with 115k for $5600? Might have a clean title but that price is CRAZY low unless there's a lot of work that needs done.

 

Base 6 MT ... No work needed.Car needs new wheels got some ugly 17inch on there right now. Good deals are out there people just need to search...

 

It's not just searching...

I looked up to 1,000 miles away and never found anything remotely close to that. It's all about timing and whenever someone needs to sell it to pay things off. I bought mine with more miles than your friends for $1000 less than DOUBLE the price you gave with some exterior flaws and that was the cheapest, best color/trim/condition combo I could find within 1,000 miles.

 

I got my 2004.5 touring 6 speed from a dealer years ago for 14K.

 

just... yes

 

 

+1

Are you looking at a dealer or private party? If it's at a dealer, the $20k plus taxes and fees is about the same or more than you'd pay for a low mileage 370z from a private party.
