if you're thinking about selling, do it now.

i dont plan on selling my Z for a while... probably not for another 5-6yrs minimum. i may end up just keeping her until she falls apart.

when im done modding it. im going to pass mine to my wife and "HOPE" Nissan doesn't fukk up the Z35. that way wen i got to the car shows, my wife can take one Z and i take the other.

sounds like a plan

for me, until my kids are out of highschool im going to stay away from buying anther 2 seater as i only have limited time to drive.

but once they're in college... let the fun begin again.

i like the exclusivity of 2 seaters.

Wow it seems like the z market must suck other places. Here in dallas, a tour sport nav from 11 would go for about 38k. you'd get like 35k... they'd give me 32.5k for my base sport auto right now. the average price of a 11 base sport auto 36k used. sprt tour nav with auto from 11 would still sell around 41k. you'd get 38k for an auto here.

Also doesn't BMW keep a watchful eye on any mods you do to the car?

They sure do, so does Audi. When you bring it in for any work (maint, repair, warranty) ....they will read through the memory and programming with check points to see if you have exceeded the factory boost levels, how many times, what temps you were running, etc....do a checksum and all other kinds of things. Audi will then place a DT1 code into your car and FLAG IT and you won't even know it...till you make a warranty claim or try to.

I'd stay away from a 335i. That car is one of the most unreliable car I've owned. I would stick to all motor if it comes to BMW...

Would you mind elaborating? What in particular drove you away?

christian370z · 07-30-2012, 02:26 PM

My local dealer offered me 30k for my '10 Base plus touring with 9,000 miles, sport package wheels and spoiler, and that was without negotiating on my part. That's why I am surprised at the prices of used Zs on the forums, I used to assume those prices were what I should expect before I got the dealer's quote.

That is a good to know price quote. I have been seriously thinking of selling my car. It is an 11 base black on black sport with M6. Currently setting with 1333 miles on the odometer. It also has a 5/75000 gold prefered warranty. I just don't find the time to actually drive it that much at all.

I wanted to sell/trade my car, I took it to a small dealer here at home and all they did was look at my car and look up the value through NADA and offered me what the website said which was 26,xxx

You can get more for the touring 32k-33. I got 29500 for my base sport with 17k on trade. You can get much more.

cossie1600 · 07-30-2012, 09:52 PM

damn if I can get $29500 for my car, I would trade it right. Where are you guys getting these prices from? I am getting offers of 25K or something.

Mine was from the dealer. Then again, they also have customers looking for certain color and interior combos and mine is one of them so that might factor into a higher offer price.

^^x2 I'm with this guy

Mine is an 11 touring/sport with 13k mil and I would sell it in a heartbeat for 30.

If you definitely have it set in your mind that you want another car I would go for it before the prices start going down.
