Cold Feet Before Buying?
After saving up for the 370z and searching for the right price for over 2 years, I think I may be pulling the trigger as soon as tomorrow.
I located a 2012 base + sport manual with 1600 miles for $29,600 before taxes. First off, do you guys think this is a good deal? And secondly, did any of you get cold feet right before buying? I've been waiting for this moment for a long time, but I just have that lingering doubt in my mind about whether I'm making the right choice. It might be because it took a lot of hard work to get to this point and I don't want to feel buyers remorse after. I'm interested to hear your opinions. |
If you've been thinking about it for 2 years I say get one last test drive and pull the trigger. I'm assuming you've already done your due diligence by test driving other cars? 29,600 sounds fair to me, particularly at 1600mi but you've got to wonder why the guy is selling...
I was in the same boat, I was lurking on the forums for a year or two before I finally bought one and I mulled the idea of buying used. In the end I ponied up for a new one just because I wanted the whole experience of break in to first oil change, etc. Good luck on your decision. |
Seems like a good deal to me. 1600 miles thats brand spanking new. Cold feet do to the money? One life to live do it with style.

The money is big, I had cold feet.
If you can really truly afford though you have nothing to worry about. The car won't make you feel like you regretted it at all |
Do it do it do it!

Sounds pretty normal to me - I get nervous every time I buy a car, house, or any other high-dollar item. $30K ain't exactly chump change. ;)
Unless you actually need a mini-van or can't really afford it, go for it! Make sure you disable the SLU first chance you get. Edit: Oops. '12s don't have the SLU. Carry on. |

You definitely won't regret it! Do it and start modding :)

I'd try for a 2013 for the same price. It can be had.

I also wondered why he was letting it go and after doing a little research thanks to the help of CarFax, I came to this conclusion: The 1st owner bought it it NY over the summer and then sold the car in November. I'm assuming that he needed cash quickly after incurring damage to his home from Hurricane Sandy. The dealer purchased it and now has it sitting on the lot for over 2 months. I thought about buying new, but the price of these cars seem a little higher than before. Also, I didn't want to take the initial hit in depreciation. And most importantly, with the money I save I can spend it on.... no not mods, but insurance :mad: Quote:

IN CONCLUSION, I'm going to the dealer today. If there is nothing wrong with the car, it's mine. A. If I post pics later, you obviously know I bought it. B. If you don't hear from me for a few days, I'm out driving it :driving: C. I haven't made a plan C yet. Thanks for the positive reinforcement guys!!! :tiphat: |
Wait... Random thread jack... Off topic
But how do you have 3 rep points with ONLY 7 posts??? Lol |

OP, I always get cold feet when spending that kind of money. I even felt nervous a week after buying my car. But it goes away. |
op- just check over the car real well inside and out, and under before you buy. test drive and any any question that might pop to mind.
that usually lessens the cold feet since you know what you're getting. |
