Thing is, OP doesn't have any credit history so he'll get raped on interest depending on where he goes. Or, if the OP wants, he can try to apply for PenFed.

IF he wants to get a Z and not get hurt on interest, he should just go to Joe @ Koeppel and take the 0% that he offered on the 2013's.

But if the OP only makes 20-25k (I don't know, just going off of what he mentioned in previous threads) a year, do you really think he would get approved for a loan for a 30k+ car?

Ya, if thats truly the case then I don't think the Z is the best car for you based on your situation.

Sometimes we want what we can't have, no fault of the car, it just may not be in the cards. Of you'll have to do what some others will do to get in one, go older. Might have to consider 09's.

As mentioned above, I'm sure you can find one in well kept condition somewhere, but you'll have to break into that 09' territory. At 19 a '09 370Z is not a bad thing.

I think the OP is 22 with 13-15k down payment plus trade in.

Credit Union and Financing

If anybody makes that much/little (20-25k) they most definitely shouldn't be in a car that is starting at more than their income.

axmea?

the 0% incentive from Koeppel is pretty good. the way you're going about it is "A car is a car" when considering the two cars (Z and the Cam). The reality is, the Cam is a car but the Z is a Z. Not exactly apples to apples here.

OP, to be honest I just think the 370z is just a little out of your league, no offense by that.. What I mean is you said in a previous thread you were what... 19? No credit and work a job that makes so so money. 30k is a lot of $$$ brother. Even if you get a loan, the interest rate is going to kill you, along with insurance. I wouldn't be surprised if you are paying 600-700 a month just for the car.. Is that really worth it... having almost your whole pay check go to a car?

Ouch, didn't know the OP was 19. That means an insurance payment almost as much as the car payment every month not to mention a very precarious financial position. One mistake like being late on a payment, getting a speeding ticket or losing a job could be disastrous.

This is not intended as a flame, and certainly cars.com is not the end-all-be-all in terms of pricing new cars...

But it looks like the car is over 30k at invoice cost, let alone delivery, etc., and that's for the very base model with no frills whatsoever.

Asking a dealer to come down 3k off of invoice isn't impossible, but it's ambitious.

And the used market is constantly a roll of the dice if you're selective in the least.

As DE said, though, you can shop around and get a loan from a bank before purchasing any car, private sale or not.

Good luck with the search!

Go to Capital One for your loan and search the US and find your car in another state like I did. Although, I wasn't looking for that price range (mine was a little higher), I ended up flying to NJ from FL and buying my Nismo there.

I waited a long time to find the right Z at the right price. I kept track of what lots had used ones and how long they had them. I ended up with a certified 2011 base with sport package with 27000 miles for $28000 with 0.5% interest. It had been on their lot for almost 5 months. Just be patient and look for ones that the dealer has had for a while, they are more likely to come down. Also don't contact them and let them know beforehand your really interested, then they think they can get more out of you.

The best deals i've ever seen have always been on this forum. You should really consider buying here as most of the people on here are enthusiast and take really good care of our rides. With that being said, you should also look at a 2009 - 2010 model if you are concerned about the price.

Heck, consider a 350z if you are 22 and strapped for cash and then trade up to a 2014. Better yet, save some more coin and get the next release of Z .

Just my two cents.

UNKNOWN_370

You deserve to be flamed... Am I'm going to tell you why...

Do you expect Tropicana to be the same price as Kool aid?

Do you expect Timberlands to cost as much as keds

Do you expect Polo to cost the same as Brut 33?

Diamonds for the cost of a CZ??? no way.



So why the hell you expect the Z to cost in the same range as a V6 camaro???

If I say anymore??? It will feel like 10,000 degrees in this thread.
