What do you think?

Man, that's IDENTICAL to my '09 Z -- and I paid $35K (albeit brand-new) for mine two months ago. Based on the options it appears to have, the sticker on that car is a touch over $40K (Touring/Sport/Nav/MN6, illuminated kick plates but no splash guards -- not sure about the mats). I'm not sure what book is on these, but $29K seems reasonable to me. $26K would be a helluva deal! I think $27K would be a fair offer if you wind up getting it for $28K, even given the miles. 14K for a one year-old car isn't that bad at all.

On second thought, $28K not a penny more

Well, $28K is my limit no matter what goes down, but lower would be nicer. I plan to spend a few hours there with an extensive test drive. I wont be in any rush. Any key features I should check on the vehicle/ things to be aware of? Thanks in advance.

The only issue on the '09s is the ECU whine and weak hatch springs. No guarantee the car will have or not have those issues, but check for them. Probably not a deal breaker.

The ECU whine I know about, but what should I be looking for to see if the hatch springs are defective? What exactly happens? Do they not open the hatch on their own?

They emailed me and told me they would let me have it for $28,500, but I am looking to get out of there at closer to $27,000. I think they will laugh at me if I offer them 26,000, but then again you never know. Im glad to get everyones opinions. Thanks guys. Keep them coming.

Go with 27K and get the car. The sooner you'll get it, the sooner you'll get to enjoy the Z. BTW, one of the best (most desired) combo you got there on that Z (Nav with sports). I'd drive it

Thanks AK. Sounds good. Now can you call them and tell them they have to sell it to me for $27K.

Thanks m4. It has almost 2 years left on the factory warranty. Do you guys think I should bother looking into an extended warranty. I hearing no from most of the people I have talked to.
