Oh believe me, here in Alberta, that kind of price is asked for too.....it's one of the reasons I couldn't pass it up once I got them to that price, even though I hadn't planned to buy now. At one point, I said I may pass and wait till next year, and they came down more - they admitted later, they always have cars they didn't want to keep over the winter....

Yes, I can certainly see why for 4000 difference you might well just go new.

Where else can you get that?
Agreed. It's a great value - and actually quite rare here. During the summer you see them here....but not all that often. It's a land of SUV, truck, corollas, civics, and luxury cars...... In the last month, I have had a ton of compliments and people looking - which I did not expect lol. A new(er) Z still catches people's eye in this land of boring vehicles....

The base is so barebones - but at least they come with the backup camera now. In any case, I'm not driving it for tech or comforts - which I could always add later. Wouldn't have minded having the LSD, but I'm not going to the track, and for the street, I don't need it even for aggressive driving! :-)
