Top dollar and trade in should never be in the same sentence :)

Z's are to be kept or handed down to your kids, not traded in. They are not like wives.

What's wrong with rape vans?

:icon18:

i was thinking it might be interesting to get a different color, and maybe a manual, but i dont think it's worth the hassle..plus, i always like correcting people when they say "is that your white 370", no its pearl, lol.

:tup:

so reporting back went to two nissan dealers in my area within 20 miles of each other. neither had a 370 on their lot and didn't know when they would because of the earthquake in japan. both said they would love to have my car sitting on the used car lot. yeah right i know. one offered me 24,995
and the other 25,995. i figure that's not bad considering i paid 29,995
for it brand new. but for now i will be keeping the 370..

Not bad.

ive been thinking about trading mine for a bmw. the dealership offered 26K to 29K without seeing my car. its an 09 with touring and sport. KBB says the car is woth 29.5K in "good" condition.

Not bad, that is about $3K more them what I thought.

Also it will depend of what area are you located. I don't think I'll get that in this damn area.

you will be surprised right now on what a mint condition 370 will bring at
the right dealer. more than any mustang which is on every street corner..

supply and demand... 370's are rare ..

Most dealership go by the black book and the local auction price, KBB is a joke

I've been thinking about it for a while now....

I just took my Z to carmax today for appraisal. It's a base sport 6MT with 29,xxx miles clean, no accidents, etc. It is a bit high mileage for a 2 year old car (I've had it for about 27 months or so). They offered $22,000 - about what I expected. I owe a bit less than that, so I would get a decent check after paying off the loan.

The good news is if the car is still under warranty they do not have to take it for a test drive. They just need to look it over a bit to appraise it.

$22-24k is about what I would expect to get...I've never seen a dealership appraised a vehicle at $25,995 before, but it may be different in smaller cities..I'm in Houston, and these cars will sell, and dealerships around here are aggressive in their bids...but these vehicles are not your everyday runabout cars, so they are not in high demand right now. Eventhough Japan is hurting in their production, the 370Z is not a high demand vehicle...

It seemed like they really wanted my car for some reason. They said the quote is good for 7 days but I told them I probably would not go for it. When they brought over the written quote they 'manager' showed up with the salesman that I spoke with earlier. They wanted to try once more to go for the deal since the value of the car does not go up and of course the offer later down the road would not go up either.
