I'll keep that in mind. I'm pretty dead set on manual, but I'll heed your advice and try an auto.

Cars.com gave me better results. Guess I just need to setup a search (with email alerts) on all of them.

All you have to do is go to FB do a WTB post, you'll get all kinds of people throw their cars at you.

Just my 2 cents: I know you said you will be ready by March or April, but don't let that be the driving factor. It's an exciting time to look for your next car, but make sure it's exactly what you want even if it's waiting a lot longer. I searched and waited well over a year and I was able to find my dream 370z. I've been having a blast every day, and recently just got my first ticket, but that was my fault lol. My point is, be patient and don't let the timeline drive you

It'll be worth it!

That's good advice.

What about these? Not sure what your requirements are, but these seem to be great deals from forum members.

I live in MA, maybe too far but I'm selling my 2013 Z, sports/ touring, 45k for 20K since I am relocating abroad...excellent condition, only mods an Injen CAI, all synthetic fluids, new Summer tires, winter tires and rims on now will be included..PM if you're interested price negociable if you want to transport because I'm moving to the Philippines

OP, I can feel your pain. I was on Cars.com, auto trader, and every used car website out there after my 2012 got totaled. What helped; deciding what I wanted, year, color, package, mileage, etc. I made a list by what I considered the most important and started looking. Read the dealer reviews, especially if you are going to look nationwide. You don't want to find a car, go there and find out that the 'internet price' is bogus and the price is really $3k more (yes, there are dealers that do that chit

)

I live in KC and I flew to Waukesha WI to buy my 2015 Magma Red Sport and drove it home. Patience is the key...

Hadn't thought of that (really hate air travel), but that sounds doable. I do love the magma red, btw.

Mine kind of plopped into my lap. I had been looking just browsing mainly and getting a feel for what the car I had was worth (Fiat 500’s aren’t worth anything btw) and mine just happened to show up in town. I got mine from the local Nissan dealer, who didn’t want to honor the internet price because they got it from their next door Lexus dealer. Which I thought was bogus, and then wouldn’t reimburse me the $80 in parts for the front pads and rotors I had to put on 3 days after I bought the car and the extended warranty. Be careful where you buy from, do the research. I do however love the car, I wouldn’t have changed a thing about buying it unless I had found a Nismo for the same price which wasn’t going to happen with that low of mileage. I got the manual because I just don’t like automatics. Drive both though because like stated above the auto is supposedly not so bad in these. I can’t confirm or deny that, I’m just a manual snob I suppose. XD

Autotrader is your friend. I found my 2013 Nismo at a dealership in Indianapolis, Indiana and bought it. It fell in my lap after my 2012 Nismo was totaled. I had it shipped to me. I was tickled to have been able to find another with only 77xx miles on it. You will know when you find it. Don't trust, verify everything.

sp911 · 01-11-2019, 05:36 AM

def be patient. I had found in the past that many cars from smaller dealerships have cars still on autotrader and their own website that have already been sold. the price shown looks pretty good, but then when you go to inquire, it's been sold. I found this many times.

Shultzie · 01-11-2019, 06:20 AM

There's a nice red Nismo on Indy craigslist now.

sp911 · 01-11-2019, 11:32 AM

and check out options and trim levels. many don't like the base model nearly as much.

Red ‘16 Nismo sitting on the Nissan lot in Shelby, NC. You buy it and I will drive it up to you...
