Any Interesting Z Purchase Stories/Outcomes?

njobe89 · 11-18-2014, 12:41 PM

i'm a firm believer of destiny, so with that said... i was browsing auto trader for a 370z/ Evo/ STI. i saw some nismo's that were for sale and every time i called they were sold. same would go for the Evo's and STI's... at the time i was driving a rsx-s and i was going to sell that car in order to have some money to put down and pay of my tsx. so as im browsing i come upon a 2013 base sport package and the price was just right. this was about on a tuesday and i call the dealership and set up to come see it friday as it's 2 hours from me. that same day i put my rsx-s up for sale. Tuesday finishes and no calls, Wednesday comes and no calls. Thursday i get a call from a potential buyer and he sees the car and said he would like to sleep on it. Friday comes around and he (the buyer) calls me and said that he would want to buy the car. so after work i sell him the rsx-s and drive 2 hours to pick up the Z

now if i didn't sell the rsx-s i wouldn't have been able to buy the Z and continue paying for the tsx as well. so i believe it was in my destiny to buy it haha. 7 months later i still enjoy it.

For some reason the dealer that I bought from couldn't unload my 40th. They sold it for 23k; not sure what prices around the states go for, but at the time it was least expensive Z34 of any year/mileage for sale in a 200 mile radius.

I had a similar experience. I was in the market for a 40th for about 2 months, looked at one in LA that was really beat up. One popped up on cars.com in AZ for a price that seemed low, car was in great shape, clean car fax, so I flew from OC to AZ bought the car and drove 5 hours home. I don't think dealerships look at 40th Anniversary's any differently than a regular 2010.

Funny my story is almost the same. Low mileage good priced 40th in Florida so I flew out and drove her 2300 miles home. Came with performance upgrades as well. Couldn't be happier and got it for thousands less than anything local
