Looking at a 2011 370z, What do you guys think of this car?

phatjoe

Hey,

I think I found a 370z that looks pretty good. The dealer is only 75 miles away from me. It sure beats finding something 1000 miles away, flying there, and driving it back. It's being serviced right now, so the sales guy sent me these quick phone pics.It looked pretty clean inside. The stats are as follows:

Year: 2011
Mileage: 18k
One Owner
Sport Pkg

So the price...they are asking $20,999 which seems fair. I would've preferred a 2013, but they are priced $2-3k more. Anyway, what do you guys think? Sounds reasonable? Anything I should look out for?

This could be the one!

that exhaust looks aftermarket.

u know about cars? if so, have them put it up on a lift and check underneath to see wat else the original owner did to the car..

phatjoe

I noticed the exhaust as well. Even the shifter is aftermarket. It's probably not a big deal, but you never know.

I know a few things about cars, but the 370z is new to me. Anything underneath the car that I can check out by myself?

the lower price seems a bit sketchy to me than the average market price. blacked out fog light (not a hard thing to do) has me suspecting the owner tinkered with the car as well.

carfax on the car? (atleast it's a starting point albeit may not be super up to date)

kenchan

did the 11's come with the blacked out rear dummy fog? my 09 came with the tinted dummy which i later replaced with a JDM working lamp.

as for checking undercarriage, i would bring a picture of the factory 370z exhaust and compare it with the Z u plan to buy. might not be just the muffler/catback that was changed.

my 2012 foglight looks identical to the one in this pic

The salesperson indicated that there are no blemishes or scratches on the car. But, the headlights have minor fading, not sure if that's normal for 370z or not.
The driver's seat has a couple of wrinkles. It has a nice clean carfax.

pics below

It's one of those things that I just need to see it in person.....

Fairly cheap price..with low miles. Looks to be in decent shape. Has pretty heavy seat wear for less than 20k miles .

I personally would not even consider buying it just because it has (slight?) modifications done to it.. just my . Not my thing.

kenchan

yah, dats wat i thought..

kenchan

the haze on the lens is not normal, but you can polish it.

never understood the hazing.. my 12yr old G35C has no hazing and i use that car sometimes for dd'ing in the summer months.
probably from auto carwashes.

kenchan

btw, my 09 Z with 18k+ miles looks newer

mishuko

hmmm must be canadian thing then... MY 12' has the red shell

i don't have any haze either... i can see some dust inside though and i am getting OCD

my mom's car has haze developing though but she parks under tree's that sap for years . i might try to do a lense clean up for her in summer if she doesn't get a new ride

kenchan

yah, could be!
