High Miles Z a bad idea?

Rawb474 · 01-22-2013, 03:02 PM

I really appreciate all the responses. I'm planning on checking out the high mile Z to see what sort of shape it's in today.

I've been test driving/ looking around for about 8 months and I think it's getting to the point where I need to either buy the car or don't. I check out the forums everyday. I feel like I practically own one already.

I know what questions to ask thanks to y'all on the forums. (Have to say, I feel pretty damn proud of myself when I can embarrass the salesmen at dealerships about different Z stats/issues/features and they look at me like "why do you know more about this car than me").

thats always a good feeling. i did that before summer ended when the local nissan dealer that my uncle works for got a 2013 GT-R. schooled them on all the specs and taught them what launch mode was....probably not my best idea haha

also i was checking my dealer auction sites and a couple 2012 370's went today for cheap. 2012 sport/touring/auto with 7900k miles went for 26,800

see you dont always gotta go high mileage for deals

I take it that these "dealer auctions" aren't open to the public?

WTG! Thanks for this thread, I am getting some answers too about high mileage Nissans that I didn't have and wanted

and I will have to say the salesman where I bought my Z looked at me the same way

My husband just smiled....
