Buy Used or New?

Thanks for the replies! All very helpful.

Another question - have you guys ever done any tests for HP degradation on used Z's compared to new ones? Is there a significant drop in the performance of the engine over a timeline of just a few years?

Thanks!

Actually mine got better after about 9k. My mpg increased, and the car felt slightly peppier.

My Z set the 2nd fastest stock 1/4 mile time 3 months after I got it, so nope!
