Default Good deal? 2005 350z anniversary edition

Hey guys so i have had so much interest in a 350z and have found a really nice looking one near my town i went and looked at it today and it looks very clean! they were not open so i couldn't talk to them but i don't know how to drive manual yet, grandfather will test drive it and teach me but anyway.

YEAR 2005 nissan 350z anniversary edition
MILES 133,053
Trans 6-Speed Manual
color yellow
price $12,000
condition very good - i did not see any noticeable scratches the black weatherstrip above the passenger door is missing about 6 inchs everything else looked very good!


3 owners all personal car nothing report wrong with the car,

thoughts? is 12k too much to ask for seeing as its got 130k miles? or is the anniversary edition worth it? thanks!!

kbb says at 133k miles 9-11k with 10k being a fair price i understand they're a dealership and i'd be financing it but would 10,500 seem like a waste of my time down the road?

how much do you have for a down? if it were me, i would offer $8500, when they reject it.... walk out, they will call you in a couple days trying to deal. i wouldn't pay over 9500 for it personally

i've got $4k for down i'll stop by tomorrow and say maybe 10k i don't want to insult them seems like a big leap from 12k to 10k but like you said i'm sure they will call me back after i leave

this..... they will see it and use it to their advantage. do you need the car RIGHT NOW, prob not.... but you want it. for a bit more, i would honestly look for an 07-08

im seeing some 2008 touring 350z with about 100k for just under $10k so you are 100% right

is there a big difference in this 05 version vs the 08s?

what's your thoughts on if i end up getting an automatic? i see a lot of them for sale, i've never fully drove a manual and got to learn one so i'm unaware of the feel is a manual a must have if you wanna get into modifying it? or just personal preference

Also don't let the 35Th anniversary fool you. Yes the have value, but all the conditions need to be perfect.

you will lose the brembo's (not a huge loss to be honest), and you MIGHT have to be concerned about the slave cylinder... it may have already been replaced, but if not sub $500 if you do the work yourself.

me personally, not a fan of auto sports cars.... but don't let that stop you. if you have never driven a standard, then go with the auto. a local guy to me had an auto and he was the quickest in autocross for a while. they have their perks

It's your car. If that's what you want, so be it.

Wouldn't a manual sound better than an automatic though. I'm not trying to race it or anything i just want a amazing looking car that sounds good and is fun to drive
