How many miles? Does it look clean?(interiors good,no dash scratches,rips,curb marks on rims,scratches in paint,clean under the hood. Etc..) too many variables. I would check the car out first. If you Haven't really car shopped before,bring somebody with you who has some experience doing so. As for price,find out what the book value is for the shape its in and miles on odometer,than knock off a couple grand. Just make sure to mention that it's been in an accident. Typically people ask about 1000 more than what they think the car is worth,hoping to get what they want,or settle for a little less. What are they asking for?

Don't take it to a dealership. Any reputable mechanic would be fine. But only do it if your serious about the car,and he's willing to budge in price. Otherwise you'll be wasting money on an inspection.

They're selling for 25k$ I offered 23k when I didn't know about the accident. Got custom pain and staggered wheels, reverse cam,25k mile, touring edition. In side and out side looks good. Kbb 22k fair price, but with accidental airbag deployement I might be asking 19k or 20k for it, that should be reasonable right?

They tried to sell you a car without disclosing that it had been damaged.

If I were going to make them an offer at all, I would low-ball the crap out of it and be prepared to walk without a screaming deal.

TeratoZ · 08-28-2015, 09:49 AM

Are we talking about 17k$ or should I go lower? Lol

mishuko · 08-28-2015, 09:49 AM

they didnt disclose the accident? well i'd throw 19 at them. settle for 20. OR

spend a few extra grand to get a non-damaged z.

not doubting mechanics but once in an accident things will start rattling, buzzing, moving, breaking.

TeratoZ · 08-28-2015, 09:54 AM

I think I'll will have to wait. i was looking on the forum for a z but I can't find one near Arizona or in az. Ty for everyone input, I think I will keep looking for a little more.

What year is your Z? The production statistic look-up tool only goes through July of 2013, and when I searched for your VIN, nothing was found.

Here's the link to the tool that a user named Vince created - Nissan 370Z Production Statistics
