Hey Guys,

Been snooping for the last 2 weeks getting more excited to buy my first sports car. I am going to be test driving Zs over the next week or 2 and I'll make my purchase.

I may go for an old base model and save some money... but the new nismo is so sexy... I may fork out the cash...only time will tell.

First up I am checking out a 2011 370z base Pearl White 15k miles on it... Dealer wants around ~20k for it.

Any help appreciated. Or maybe I can buy one of your zs!

well there are couple thread Z for sale. question is what is your budget? 11 Based 15K miles for 20k is bit high in my opinion.

I would definitely search the forum for a deal first. Especially if you dont intend to buy a new one. Forum members give insane deals to fellow forum members. Also you could probably find one that has a good deal of performance mods that the seller is practically giving away with the sale. Just my 2 cents but if it were me i would definitely go to a stealership as a final resort

What do you guys think of this?

16.5k seems like a fair deal?

I drove a couple 370z and although they are probably the best looking car around for the price. I didn't feel like the ride was comfortable enough for a daily driver.

I ended up getting a Bike hahaha

That's a far, far cry from the 370z. It gets particularly motorbike-unfriendly in the winter in your area; what's your plan for then? Do you already have a "winter beater?"

Enjoy the bike; I've always had a fondness for the Ninja series.

Yeah I have been driving a Honda fit since I bought it new in 08.
I'll probably keep the thing until it completely dies. It is super reliable and my beater.

I decided I am going to wait to buy a new car next year. So the bike was a good compromise until then.
But now that I have a bike to ride for fun in the summer and its faster/more fun than any sports car I could buy under 50k, I might just end up getting an SUV or something next year.

If I ever get a big garage I will definitely buy a used Z though... they are so pretty.

Had a bike and the Z, but sold the bike this year because I barely rode it. Never get tired of driving the Z!!!!
