I can attest to the long distance issue. The dealership I purchased my car from was 7 hours away. I really felt after awhile they were using this to their advantage. They gave me a much lower trade in on my Altima than they had quoted over the phone/email. They knew once I was there I basically had to agree to their terms or drive back home 7 hours in my Altima. It was a horrible experience that you can read about in my previous posts. My best advice is to be patient and keep your cards close to your chest.

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 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

37k after taxes, fees and license?

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+
