I have actually been tracking this particular car for just over a week when I found it listed on autotrader. I have spoken to the used car deal over the past week - Dennis. He's a used car dealer and I usually do not trust used car dealers as they do not disclose in full detail. For instance after a few days of speaking with him over the phone and emails to confirm the condition of the car is near new without any blemishes, issues, respray, or body work. I ask him almost a week later to do a double check and make sure there are no issues as I would be coming cross country for this car. He finally discloses the drivers side wheel has a slight curb rash as he put it. So I asked him if its around the edge of the rim or on the face and how long is the rash. He says its on the edge of the rim and only about 6" long. I said thanks for disclosing this (In my head I was like - it took a week of communications before you disclosed this?) but I would like to see a pic of the rash. He sent me a pic of the wheel and guess what it showed - curb rash the whole circumference of the wheel! Not just 6" around as he told me but it was around the whole wheel. This left a bad taste in my mouth. He's like any typical used car dealer hiding the facts and not disclosing all - buyer beware. No wonder the price is so appealing and the mileage is so low, there has to be a reason for this. I'm just glad I didnt leave him a deposit and fly out to Cali - as I would be a very very unhappy customer.

 

Ah good detective work! I never would have known. And while some wheel damage is purely cosmetic, like you said who knows what else he is hiding

 

That is a damn good price for an '08 with 800 miles. Someone needs to physically inspect it.

 

agreed that is still a good price but good luck with the e46 if that is your next purchase.

if you were searching for nismos online you had to have run across my old nismo. its at autobarn evanston with roughly 200 miles and they are asking 34k for it.

 

What the hell did you do with your solar orange '07?

 

i sold it.

 

Did you also get rid of the '08 Z that you traded the nismo for?

 

yes sir. https://my350z.com/forum/nismo-350z/...n-pricing.html

 

Curb rash is easily repairable though... for the price if it's the only thing you'd still be getting a good deal, I understand the bad taste in your mouth however. Ask for complete pics of interior, exterior, wheels, engine bay, exhaust, door, rocker panels etc in high def though and that should be good assuming there are no mechanical issues.. (and how could there be?).

 

There is nothing like inspecting the car first hand. That''s a big purchase and do not buy the car without first looking at it.

 

A friend of mine in Northern Indiana just found one local to him he is test driving. He is deciding between that and a 370Z. If he passes on it I can pass on the info.

 

I think you should get another nismo.
I wish I could be happy with a car i purchased haha

Best of luck on a new ride

 

you dont like your 335 anymore?

 

man i want a NISMO but most of them in my area are red or silver.....I really would like to have a white one.

 

i want only red. so how about i buy you a white one and you buy me a red one?

 

i love it but i think ill be upgrading to a m3, possibly the f10 m3 but we will see
but the car pulls sick right now, its got fmic dp will be going in and stage 3 reflash

 

Hey RED 08 NISMO for sale in Wilmington NC at stevenson mazda, hope this helps you out, I have looked over car it looks good.

 

^ Right. LOL

 

I would have kept the supra for sure but here is why I couldnt.....

when i was happy with it..








the reason i dont have it...





if anyone wants more pics of it before the crash or after I have plenty. Ive already been depressed enough before so it doesnt bother me as much to look at the pics now.

here is a video of my supras timeline..

 

What exactly happened?

Your fault? Or did some jackass ruin your sweet Supra?
