I wanna say thank you to everyone for your input and knowledge this forum is always a good place to learn and get good to honest opinions. Yeah most off you are right carmax prices are kind of high but sometimes i do see they have some good deals on 2013 or 2014 black 370z's with the sports package most of the time under 30k, as for milltime20 im currently in san antonio but if i was in houston id stop by there thanks for the info though. I noticed in san antonio some dealerships have brand new 2015's starting at 33k mayeb a little under for all black with teh sports package of course we're talking 35k with taxes and all that and im not buying an excess paint potection or warranty if i did get it brand new since it already comes with one. My buy date of thee z is around may 15th or that week of. Hopefully i can find a good deal by tehn or talk down some dealerships to a more reasonable price and ill be trading in my car and i still owe on it but i have at least 3k of positive equity plus a 3k down payment so hopefully everything works in my favor.

i got my NEW 2014 white touring sports 6mt fully loaded for 37k out the door flat dec 12th. no hidden fees, no destination charge, etc. i love it. just hit 2k miles, haven't been driving it due to snow etc. now its time to have some fun.

I bought new from CarMax. Got a very good price IMO. It was a two hour drive to the dealer so not bad. I never use that dealer for anything anyway. I did get financing done first so did not have a problem with that. Course, they had exactly the car I was looking for. 14, midnight blue, sport, touring. $3500 under MSRP.

37k after taxes, fees and license?

If so that is a deal worth crowing about!

I agree that Carmax is higher priced, but every car I ever looked at from them is in really go condition. They have high standards on what cars they sell, year and mileage. Also I think they will fix anything you ask them to, but zero haggling. The biggest plus is they will bring cars from other states or city's to you. Yes you have to pay upfront sometimes, but if you want a certain car they can get it if in their fleet. Side note, I have never bought a car from them, just knew someone that worked there so I test drove a lot of cars, haha

I drove 3.5 hours in Texas to get my Z status

if carmax has special free carmax warranty that could be a deal breaker vs buying private or any dealer for that matter.

i hate buying used cause you're just paying money for someone else's problem(s)..

They have a special free Carmax warrenty that's real expensive, ha. It's an optional extra and not free. :)

I do remember you have a grace period you can bring the car back if you find something you don't like, and they will fix

yah, if it was free for at least a month or something, maybe worth it.

i do like the fact they have a grace period though. but usually you wont KNOW the car until you have it for a few months. :ugh:

i wish, nys tax is 8.87%, so for 37k i paid 3.2k in tax, B.S. I was so close on getting the 2015 nismo tech but the dealer kept b.s me and with tax it would've costed me 50k. i said f*ck no. haha

That was still a good deal tho. I got my 2014, Touring fully loaded for 38k before taxes. I wanted the Roadster but that also would have cost me 50k+

yeah man we both got good deals on our cars, convertible 50k, f*ck that lol.

Let me know if you stumble upon a red one! I'm in Texas, too, and I've been looking (nationwide) for like six months. Then again, I'm being very picky. I want a 2011-2012 red 6MT sport + touring <30k miles.

I'd buy new but I don't like the 2013+ front bumper and I'm not sure how long I'll keep it. I might really like the new model Z or maybe someone will finally release a mid-engine car worth buying...
