Hi Guys,
I am planning to get a used 2003 Nissan 350Z (Silver Alloy, Manual)Touring model with 28K miles on it from carmax( No Haggle) and they are quoting like $22,998 on it. Do you guys think that this is good deal as i have already paid like $150(Transferrable fee) and its on its way from Carmax in Kansas city to Memphis, TN location. After doing a background check(car history) at autocheck.com at carmax everything cameout to be good(interiors, exteriors, tyres etc..) So can i beleive them?? is carmax a reliable source?? And i was also planning to take extended waranty (6yrs/60K) for another $1500 for the same car. Do you suggest that??

At the same time i saw this ad online (private seller)who is selling his 2004 Nissan 350Z (silver Alloy, Manual) Touring model with only 20K miles on it for almost the same price $23,800 ( he might come down to $23,000) I even asked him why he was selling his car then his reply was they were building a new house and they wanted to buy a tractor by selling this car.( I am going to test drive it today or may be tommorow) he also said that his wife used to drive his 350Z but not him.

I need all your guys feedback of what should i take into consideration to decide the right car. Do u want to wait until i test drive both the cars.

Any help is appreciated.
(Note: carmax :2003 model, private seller :2004 model)

Just called up the private owner to know whether the car was still there... He sold it for $23,000. So i have only one option left now.... i.e ********************************************CARMAX********** ********************************.

 

i bought my mustang from carmax, really regret it. your pretty much paying $24-$25 for a used 03 with 30k miles, not to mention how carmax rags on their cars. I was quoted $25,9 for a brand new 06 350z at my local nissan

 

wow i wish i could have paid 25,900 for my 06 back in october, even now 25,9 is too nice, i guess it's for a base right?

 

praveen... listen to me.. pradeep... NEVER EVER RELY ON SPORTS CARS OR SUVS from car-max.. no joke.. when i was in nursing school and needed a car bad i bought an old school celica for $8k (around 48k miles). they claimed it passed all inspections and had a 3 year 36k mile warranty on it.. man when that shiz hit 72k it was awful as hell.. not even able to go 25k miles.. not to mention the fact that i had to replace the clutch about 4 months after i got it.. and on top of that.. my friend bought a used corvette there that had alighnemtn problems.... now my dad bought his rl there for a good price and there were no problems... i dunno.. i still dont trust them

 

If you can talk to some dealerts to lower the price down got my 05 350Z new for 30K but after all those taxes,plates it went to 32K

 

Ill Sell You My 03 Track W/10,000 Miles For 28,500k

It Has New 19" Volk Gt7's, Topspeed Exhaust W/ Ypipe, Injen Cai, Tein Springs, Crawford Upper Plenum, CUSTOM WET KIT

Its Chrome Silver And Has A Veilside Frt Lip.

Just Another Option Fo You, There Are A Few Pics On Here Just Search Under My User Name 1bad350z And You Will See Them

 

ALWAYS pull a CARFAX REPORT autocheck sux , it doesnt show hardly anything you will find dealers using because of that fact. I deal with many dealers and I know the tricks of the trade.You are better off buying from an idividual than from a dealer, unless it is new from Nissan. I finance 1,500,000 each month about 70-100 cars a month take my advice , I have been financing cars for 9 yrs now. I bought from one of my dealers BUT I checked it with a fine tooth comb called previous owner and spoke with him ...it was all good.
