Anybody recognize this 40th?

equalme · 11-14-2013, 12:04 AM

Found this 40th at a dealer, although out of state, but priced well. Carfax reported one accident to the front left fender, assuming they did not replace the fender, then it is was a minor accident. It is also CPO surprisingly...

I do not really care for the carbon fiber hood nor the aftermarket navigation, but everything else looks great on the car including the nismo exhaust.

Trying to see if I can locate the last owner to see if they have details on the accident.

The have to replace the fender. Those bitches crumple in 2 seconds.

And go take the carbon fiber off. That's a wrap. Literally

DEpointfive0 · 11-14-2013, 12:08 AM

And Nismo exhaust and color matched handles

Thank goodness I was really hoping it was just a wrapped hood.

I actually am liking the color matched handles...

Certified Pre-owned is something I would be careful about. It is up to the dealer to "certify" the car. It is up the dealership tech to accurately, honestly and COMPLETELY certify the car.

I purchased a CPO 2009 Altima. Found out later during the paperwork process it was actually a 2010. I then found out LATER it had actually been wrecked, needing both RH doors, fenders and so on. Found paint overspray.

My suggestion. Have the dealership toss it on a 2 post rack. Poke around with a flash light. See if anything is off or concerning. When in doubt...walk away. CPO is a joke in my opinion in most cases.

In case of this 40th Anniv. car. I would be suspicious of a few things:

The CF Vinyl wrapped hood....What color is it on the underside? Could it have a hood from a different car that was just wrapped touched up?

The NISMO exhaust.... that could have been a dealer take off from another vehicle. I would check out the exhaust system for damage, welding and crimps.

The smoked Tails, Headlights, emblems & missing emblems.... The fact it was wrecked and now is missing emblems and has others painted might mean more body work was done or needed. I would definitly be suspicious. Wrecked fenders often do damage to the headlights as well. I would pay close attention to the lenses for cracks & missing mounting tabs.

Personally I do not like buying modded cars unless the price is RIGHT.

^^^Hey Dustin, I don't see the missing emblems.

OP, get the build number or the VIN and do a search. If it has placards saying xxxx/1000, it is a forum member for sure. Even if it doesn't, google the VIN. See what comes up.

I LOVE the 40th. But I'd stay away. I'd love to see it in person. I can tell you what has been painted in 20 seconds and what is wrong.
Also, look for the stitching on the steering wheel. It should be red

equalme · 11-14-2013, 11:49 PM

It is missing the rear 370z/40th anniversary emblem. It is build# 753 and is out in the NJ area.

The steering wheel stitching is red.

Here is the listing:
2010 Nissan 370Z Touring | Used Cars For Sale | CarFax | Hainesport NJ | Altima

I wouldn't touch a car out of NJ. The roads and driving there has much to be desired (no offense meant towards my NJ forum mates). It's a tough environment on cars in my opinion.

Perfect timing. I saw a listing just pop up in the city next to me on a 40th.

Perfect condition based on the provided pictures, 32,700 miles on the odometer, and they were willing to accept $27.5k OTD. State tax here is 6.25% and title/license fees around $120. So looks like the invoice is right around $25,750.

Build# 997

Trying to see if I can make arrangements to look at it today.

Thanks for the offer! Unfortunately I could not get as good of a apr on a private party loan vs dealer.

I am currently at the dealer and hopefully can drive off with it tonight.
