Millage vs money
So Im looking at these 2 2009 370Zs...And as far as I know the are both the same car, option wise, both Sports .. One has 18K miles and is $3k more than one that has $49k miles .. So my question is is the less millage worth that much more money .. They will just be my Daily Driver and never raced or anything ... Opinions ...

49k miles mean it's been driven a lot. However, in my experiences with used cars, YMMV still applies. 18K miles could mean someone trashed the engine like nuts and 49k miles could mean someone drives far from and to work hitting 60mph speed limit in long drives.
Or I could be making stuff and both were trashed, just one was trashed longer.

probably worth the money but wear and tear, hardly noticable. i've got almost 67k on mine, still runs like new and looks new as well. its all in how you take care of your car.
and yes ask if they are highway miles on the 49k one, less clutch use if so |

So to put that in perspective... I think I would pay the extra 3k for half the mileage in your situation. Last edited by gbrettin; 06-22-2011 at 10:42 PM. |

Depends on how the car was driven and maintained. But since you don't know, go with the lesser mileage car. Offer him way less than asking price and add $1500 for the lower mileage. Get service records.
Try to find an '09 like mine--- pristine with 6200 miles on it. Now that's worth the extra bucks. |
