I have a 2009 sport with 67 K on it. I pulled the steering lock fuse a long time ago. I have not had any issues with the CSC or the oil temp. I guess every car is different and so far its been great except for the fact that I have gone through some tires, no tracking, just the back road twisties. I just got some PSSs and they are f--king incredible!

Makes me totally insane, then, as my 2009 just turned 14,000 mi. (Stored in winter and hobby car only in summer.)
The 2009 that OP is looking at might be like mine---showroom new in every way. Further, I always get concerned about a very new car traded in or for sale (unless, of course, it's brand new). If it's brand new, go for the '14. If the 2014 isn't brand new though, I'd be concerned it's a bad one and take a good long look at the '09.

have you tried looking at private sales to see what they go for?
i don't think 2g is bad, but if you can have 0 that's always best.
what kind of monthly rate are you looking for, what can you afford and be comfortable, etc.

the car may have been sitting there for a while and they're losing money on it so they're trying to move it.

the sticker price on my 370 was almost 38g, it was a 2013 and i bought it in 2014, it was sitting on the lot not getting sold. it was lowered down to 29,500. not saying that's the reason for that price difference, but it may play a part.

also, look at the carfax, does it have a clean carfax?

Yea 0 is always the best but its like they say, gotta pay to play. Well I paid $300 per month for my g35 and $310 for my 350z so a grand total of $610 per month. So maybe $500 a month is fine with me. I just figure since I'm already paying that much for two cars, I might as well sell/trade them in for something nicer you know. So I sold my g35 last week and now I have my z. Apparently some dumbass lady bumped into my lower rear passenger side panel and now there is a dent. I'm pretty sure the dealer will lower the trade in value on my car by a whole lot. The white 2014 Z that was at $25,900, the dealer increased its price to almost $30,000 so forget that one. Now I'm leaning more towards the 2009 red 370z manual with 16,100 miles since its only $22,900. I'm going to try to get it down to $22,000. Car fax on this vehicle is clean. Its 1 owner and it looks like he/she only drove it about 2,000 miles a year. :) So yeah tough decisions.

did you make anything on your g that you sold? and your payment should be anywhere near 500 a month... if it's 500 * 60 months (5 year) that's 30,000. you would be getting ripped of at that. again depending on how long you finance it for. if you're doing 5 years then your payment shouldn't be more then 440

Yea, my only concern now is the dent on my current z and no I didn't make anything on my G. The new owner just took over the loan. I checked KBB for a value on my current 350z for a trade in and it says roughly around mid $14 grand to low $15 grand for a good condition version. I'm hoping at least $14,500? but I'm pretty sure their going to try and low ball me to the $13 thousand range or even lower.

if they really want to sell the car, they will work something out with you. if they're in no hurry to sell the car, then they will low ball you.

don't be in a hurry to buy it and sometimes driving a couple hours is worth it as well... i drove 2 hours to buy mine because it was a few thousand cheaper.

Used car... used car loan rates which are generally higher than new car offers. Remember,... compounding is what gets you. the longer the loan the more the burt hurt.

here's a link to play with numbers:

YEA I GUESS WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS ONCE I PAY THEM A VISIT. BTW you wouldn't happen to know anything about the 2009-2010 steering wheel lock issue would you? I might be getting the 09 370z. I email the Nissan dealership sales guy and his reply was that he asked one of the technician which than pulled up the history of the car and it looks like they just replaced it this year. Will it break in the future or is it permanently fix?

it was supposed to be a permanent fix. some people just pull the fuse and never had any trouble with it.

ok, I thought that they just switch out the old solenoid with a new one. But if it's going to last forever throughout the cars life than I might just go for that 09 370z than.. Thanks for all your inputs. Greatly Appreciated it

np.. good luck hunting
